Frequently Asked Questions

A videographer records depositions and other legal proceedings using a video camera. One benefit of adding video to your proceedings is that video allows one to capture facial expressions and body gestures that one cannot see through just a written record. We also can provide synchronized videos which ties together the video recording and the written transcript. Attorneys can display the appropriate portions of a video recorded deposition at trial, which can convey more than a written transcript.

Videoconferencing is meeting via video through the internet. Videoconferencing allows for attorneys to attend depositions globally without leaving the comfort of their own office. This technology can also be used for live testimonies, allowing for expert witnesses to testify in court without the expenses and time consumption of travel. Fortz Legal provides easy to use videoconferencing technology, and all that it requires is a computer with an internet connection! We assist clients every step of the way with videoconferencing depositions to assure everything runs smoothly.

Video synchronization ties together lines of a transcript to its deposition video, allowing for the text of the transcript to scroll alongside the video as it plays. This allows you to jump through the deposition by clicking on the text of key moments you want to hear, and the video resumes playing from there.

We primarily use MPEG-1 and send YesLaw synchronized videos. We can accommodate other formats upon request.
