Attach a Synchronized Exhibit to a Transcript

You can attach a synchronized exhibit to a transcript using the Transcript Work Area. Attaching a synchronized exhibit provides the ability to automatically display the exhibit in presentation when playing the synchronized video in court.

Open a Synchronized Exhibit

To attach a synchronized exhibit to a transcript, use the steps below:

From the dashboard, click the Fact Management module.
Select the Case Story tab in the left navigation panel.
Open the needed case by double-clicking the case name in the Cases table. Alternatively, you can select the appropriate case name, then click the Open Case button in the ribbon bar above the table.
Open the Transcripts Explorer by selecting the Transcripts tab on the left side of the page.
Select a transcript from the list.

Click the Open button in the ribbon bar in the Transcripts Explorer.

The transcript opens and appears in the work area.
Left-click the line in the transcript where you want the exhibit to display. To help find the correct location in the transcript, you can set the media to the needed time by using the playback bar beneath the multimedia player.
Right-click on the selected line.
Click the Attach synchronized exhibit button.

Select the exhibit to be displayed and click the Next button.

Select either the current line or the audio/video position as the reference point for the synchronized link. Then click the Next button.

Review the summary and click the Create button.

Note: Synchronized Exhibits do not appear in the Exhibits folder located under each transcript in the Transcripts Explorer. They only appear as icons in the Transcript Work Area.

If you do not see the Synchronized Exhibit icon after finishing the steps above, you may need to click the Synchronized Exhibits check box in the Show Annotation area of the Transcript Work Area ribbon bar. For more information, see Work with the Transcript Work Area Ribbon Bar.

Click the Close synchronized exhibit button.
Select either to use the current line or the audio/video position and click the Save button.

Note: Only the Synchronized Exhibit that is directly above the close location can be closed. If you do not see the Close Synchronized Exhibit icon after finishing the steps above, you may need to click the Synchronized Exhibits check box in the Show Annotation area of the Transcript Work Area ribbon bar.
