I need to share the relevant footage with an expert witness before trial.
You've found the moment that matters, maybe a few seconds in a jail call or a body cam clip, and now you need to get it in front of someone whose expertise can help your case.
That expert might be a forensic pathologist reviewing an injury, a toxicologist assessing a field sobriety test, or a mental health professional evaluating a client's demeanor. They need the exact footage with enough context to form a real opinion.
Downloading files, clipping them, uploading them somewhere else, then repeating that for every recording eats up time and storage on both ends. Here's how to handle this even without video editing skills.
Find the relevant moment using Reduct’s search
You rarely remember the exact timestamp. You remember what was said, or roughly when it happened. Reduct's search lets you type a word or phrase and jump straight to it across hours of footage, instead of scrubbing through a timeline hoping to spot it.
If your expert works in a different language, this still works. Translation is built in, so you can search and review foreign-language footage without needing an interpreter just to locate the right section.
Redact sensitive material if needed
Footages often contain information that has no business leaving your case file: a witness's address, a child's name, a medical detail unrelated to the issue at hand.
Reduct's text-based redaction lets you black out that information directly, without touching the underlying recording or needing a separate editing software.
You can apply redaction to the part of the video or audio that needs it, so nothing sensitive ever reaches your expert.
Build a reel and send a link
Once you've found what matters, you can either download it or share a link to it. Reels let you string together the relevant clips into a single sequence and publish it as a link.
Your expert opens that link and reviews it directly in the browser. No download on your end, no upload on theirs, no file sitting in an email attachment or a shared drive.
If you need to adjust the reel later, you edit it in place, and the link stays the same.
Mention the expert in a comment
Instead of explaining over email which part of a two-hour interview matters, you can @mention your expert directly in the project at the exact section you want them to see.
They get an email invite that drops them straight into that moment, with your comment attached. They see the clip, your note, and can respond in context.
Share relevant footage faster
Instead of downloading footage, editing it, re-uploading it, and hoping your expert can access whatever tool you used to send it, you have one workflow.
You find the moment, clip it, redact what needs to be protected, and share a link your expert can open immediately. Nothing gets lost in translation between tools.
