Have you ever used an E-Tran? If so, than you know just how powerful it is to instantly search through a transcript. Synchronized Deposition video marries that ability with video. No more fast-forwarding or rewinding to find a specific question or answer. Just type in your search term and go to that point in the deposition video. Simple.
Beyond Search
A synchronized deposition video affords so many benefits beyond just searching for terms. The technology will save you and your clients time and money because you can be much more efficient when looking for information in a deposition. Have you ever wanted to share a few lines of a witness’ testimony with a colleague or client? Well, with the DepoView software that is provided with everyone of our Synchronized Deposition Videos, its as simple as highlighting the portion of the transcript you want to share. Clip Creation is major benefit of Synchronized Deposition Videos. Imagine the ability to impeach a witness not just by what they said on a transcript, but what they said on video. It’s much more difficult to explain away something that you actually said on video than what was recorded steno graphically.
At What Cost?
Synchronizing a deposition video must be expensive though, right? It does cost a bit more, but consider this: The deposition itself may have lasted for six hours. To edit the objections out of that deposition to have it ready for playback at trial, without having first had it synced, will probably take close to six hours. Six hours of an editors time would exceed the cost to have the deposition synchronized. To edit the same deposition having been synchronized might only take thirty minutes, and re-editing is a quick process too. This doesn’t even take into account all of the valuable time you will save searching through video in the first place.
