Searchable Video Clips
SUR-chuh-buhl VID-ee-oh KLIPS
Video excerpts from depositions or legal proceedings that are tied (synced) to the transcript, allowing users to quickly locate and play the moment where specific words or phrases were spoken.
The trial team used searchable video clips to immediately review the exact moment a key admission was made during testimony.
Searchable video clips enhance legal review and strategy in several ways. They eliminate the need to scrub through hours of video, helping attorneys verify tone, cross-examine more precisely, and prepare exhibits more efficiently. In platforms like Filevine’s Depositions by Filevine, these clips are automatically synced to transcripts and organized in the case file. Users can select text from the transcript and jump to the corresponding video moment. This improves accuracy, helps with summaries, and supports compelling presentation of evidence.
