## What is the fastest way to find contradictions in deposition footage?

The fastest way to find contradictions in deposition footage is to upload all depositions to Cutsio, which uses Visual Intelligence to generate searchable transcripts and visual indexes, then search for the same topic across every deposition to compare statements side-by-side.

A 6-hour deposition contains thousands of statements. Finding where a witness changes their story about a specific date or event requires comparing multiple sections of the same deposition or cross-referencing between different deposition dates. Manual scrubbing to find these contradictions is time-consuming and unreliable. Cutsio makes every statement searchable instantly.

## How does Visual Intelligence surface contradictions?

Upload all deposition footage to Cutsio. Visual Intelligence generates transcripts for every word. Search for a keyword, date, or topic — 'the contract was signed' — and Cutsio returns every instance it was mentioned across all depositions, with timestamps and direct links.

Searching for 'I don't recall' across multiple depositions returns every instance where any witness used that phrase. Searching for 'June 15' across all case depositions returns every reference to that date. Results show the source file, witness name, timestamp, and surrounding transcript context. You can play each result back-to-back to compare delivery, tone, and context — critical for assessing whether a contradiction is genuine or a misunderstanding.

## How do Collections and Share support contradiction analysis?

Collections organize depositions by witness or case, keeping related footage grouped. Share links with password protection allow legal team members to review flagged contradictions remotely and leave timestamped comments.

A legal team creates a Collection for each witness, grouping depositions from different dates. Searching for a specific topic across the Collection returns every instance from every session. When a contradiction is found, the team can tag it for easy retrieval and share it via a secure link with view tracking. The flagged clips can be exported as MP4 files for trial presentation or deposition impeachment.

## FAQ

### Can I compare statements from the same witness on different dates?

Yes. Upload all depositions for a single witness to a Collection. Search for the same topic and compare the returned statements side-by-side.

### Does Visual Intelligence detect tone or hesitation that might indicate deception?

Visual Intelligence analyzes visual cues like facial expressions and body language alongside transcript content, providing additional context for assessing witness credibility.

### How do I export contradictory clips for trial?

Selected timestamps can be exported as standard MP4 files, ready to be played back-to-back in court.

### Can I share flagged contradictions with my legal team remotely?

Yes. Generate a Share link with password protection that jumps directly to each flagged timestamp. Team members can review and comment without downloading files.

### How does Cutsio's Storage pricing apply to legal archives?

Cutsio charges by minutes of footage, not gigabytes. All indexing and search features are included. A large deposition archive costs predictably regardless of video resolution.
