SAN JOSE,
Calif. - December 1, 2002 -
Ask any lawyer if they would like
to use video more often in trial,
and you'll always get the same
answer: "Sure, but it's too
expensive and time consuming." To
use video in the past, the key
videotape footage was located,
carefully edited, and reassembled
back to videotape, CD or DVD
… all of which squanders
valuable time and money.
YesVideo is
excited to announce its new
YesLaw product that enables the
powerful and convenient use of
video during discovery and at
trial. YesLaw makes video editing
as simple as highlighting text.
YesLaw is the first product that
combines the transcripts (text
from deposition) and the video
footage with an embedded editing
tool on one CD-ROM product.
Attorneys can now rely on the
power of video to powerfully
present their case.
YesEdit, the
editing tool embedded on every
CD, enables the user to quickly
search the transcript by keyword,
highlight the text of interest
and easily save it as a clip for
use in presentation. While no
other software is necessary to
use this player, users will find
that the footage can be easily
used in conjunction with trial
presentation programs such as
Sanction or PowerPoint.
To date,
videotape has been an effective
but expensive trial tool. With
YesLaw, lawyers can now edit the
video and transcript in a few
minutes rather than hire a
service to perform expensive
overnight editing. Thus YesLaw
can save thousands of dollars per
case.
"While the
majority of our cases never make
it to trial, we still have all of
our depositions transferred to CD
and synchronized with the
transcripts -- to be prepared in
the event of a trial," said Derek
Cole, from Dickstein Shapiro
Morin & Oshinsky in
Washington, DC. "Because video
footage has proven to be a very
powerful tool, we use it in
mediation and settlement
hearings, as well as in the
courtroom. Having the video
footage and transcript
synchronized is cost effective
and allows us immediate access to
the evidence."
YesVideo has
established a national network of
resellers to offer this new
service to legal professionals.
