You forgot to clip for impeachment. You want to do it on the fly.

The witness just said something on the stand that flat out contradicts their statement in the bodycam, the interview, or the deposition.

You didn't clip it ahead of time because you didn’t think they’d bring it up, so now you're using the next break, the next recess, or whatever gap you get before your cross picks back up, to go find it fast.

Search the transcript

Reduct's search bar looks across the full transcript of every recording in the case, so you can type the keywords you remember and land on the exact line where it was said.

Click the result and it takes you straight to that second in the recording.

Start from what you already flagged

If you labeled potential impeachment moments during prep, even loosely, they're already sitting in one place. Switch the left sidebar from Recordings to Labels and every highlight labeled across every file in the case shows up there, grouped by label.

Say the question on cross wasn't the one you planned for, but it's close enough to something you labeled. In this case, you're filtering to a label and scanning a short list instead of reopening a dozen files.

Clip it and export before the next question

Once you've found the moment, whether through search or a label, add it to the reel you're already building for the cross.

If you want the clip to introduce itself, drop a title slide in front of it, something plain like the witness's name and what's being compared (bodycam date vs. interview date), so the judge and jury know what they're looking at before it plays.

Play it in front of the judge and jury

Once you're back in front of the judge and jury, you don't want your screen showing timestamps, transcript text, and a sidebar full of other clips while you're trying to make a point.

Click the pop-out icon in the bottom right of the player and choose New window, which sends it to its own window you can drag onto a second monitor or the courtroom display.

Alternatively, you can click the download icon to export the impeachment clip.

💡Pro tip:
Label loosely during your first pass on discovery, even if you're not sure yet what you'll use it for, to make sure nothing you've already caught is buried when you need it fast.
