Sync, clip, and present from one Mac
Advanced Trial Presentation Software, No tech degree required
Evidentiary runs your evidence from one Mac: deposition video synced to the word, clips cut to the page and line, impeachment cued and cited, exhibits on the jury display. Stage privately. Publish deliberately. Blackout instantly.
Designed for trial. Optimized for Mac.
Every feature in the current build, one subscription, no add-ons.
173Screens, two audiences: your private workspace and the jury display.
2Keystroke darkens every courtroom screen — and brings the exhibit back.
1Of it runs on your Mac. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry.
100%One case, start to finish: sync it, cut it to the word, publish it to the jury
Work with confidence. Every feature at your fingertips
Your Mac carries the whole case: the exhibit sidebar, the annotation tools, your presenter notes, the mode control. The jury display carries one thing at a time, and only once you say so.
Your Mac · never goes dark
What the courtroom sees
Two screens, two audiences. You publish Exhibit A and the jury display shows it; your workspace stays your own. Objection? One key darkens the courtroom, never your Mac. Try it: press B.
Three keys run the room. You already know them.
Publish
Stage anything on your screen first. Press Return when it's ready for the jury. The published copy freezes, so you can keep working ahead in private.
Blackout
Objection? Bench conference? One key darkens every courtroom screen. One key brings the exhibit back, exactly where it was.
Staged ↔ Live
Publish-on-demand by default. Flip to Live and every page turn mirrors to the jury as it happens. Flip back, and the jury locks on what it was seeing.
Sync a deposition to word level accuracy All Local, All Offline
Drop in the video and the transcript. On-device speech recognition timestamps every line, most down to the individual word, and it runs fast enough to sync a deposition the night before you use it. No upload, no sync vendor, no connection required. Every clip you cut afterward lands exactly on the word.
Auto-Sync (Speech): every line timestamped, most words exact
Every transcript wears its sync status and its page range
- Edit Sync, by ear. When a stretch drifts, play from any line and tap Return as each line is spoken: the line pins to the playhead, the next one arms, and the tape keeps rolling. Verified lines never move; only the drift between your pins re-times.
- Speech recognition finishes the job. Apply, and the app listens again to the stretches you repaired and polishes them to the word. A weak match never overwrites your timing.
- Every volume accounted for. Each transcript shows its page range under the deponent's name, so a missing volume or day of a multi-volume witness is obvious at a glance.
Edit Sync: play, tap Return on each line, apply
Advanced Clip Creation means More time to focus on your case, less time doing tedious tasks
- Mass Add. Paste opposing counsel's whole designation list, compact ranges or the formal wording, or drop their file anywhere in the window, and watch every line validate live. One paste can cover several witnesses, and a range that belongs to another volume routes itself there. Or drop a highlighted PDF and map each color to a party.
- QC Review. Audition every in and out point in seconds each. Verified clips wear a green check that clears itself if the clip is ever touched again. A stale checkmark is impossible.
- Auto QC. A pass that listens to every cut and nudges the in and out points onto the nearest word boundary. It trims to the word, not the second, and ends with a tally: how many it resolved, how many still need a look.
- Revisions in one pass. Amended designations arrive; paste them into Mass Revise. Removals run first, deleting, trimming, or splitting clips, then additions extend or create clips, every change previewed clip by clip before anything is touched.
- Counter-designations. Import their file, see overlaps flagged against your list, decide row by row what comes in.
- Objections, inline. Possible Form and Hearsay problems flagged right on the clip, before the judge finds them for you.
- Exports that fit the courtroom. MP4s with burned-in captions, encoded frame by frame so the files stay a fraction of the usual size, condensed-transcript PDFs, and Sync XML, with one-pick presets for courtroom playback, review, and email.
Mass Add: paste or drop the list, watch every range validate live
Run the designations like a broadcast.
Playback Mode runs the whole clip list the way the jury will see it, from an attorney-side window built to drive it: the queue on the left, the running testimony front and center, and a row of switches deciding exactly what reaches the courtroom.
- Broadcast when you're ready. One button sends the running playback to the jury display, opening the jury window if it isn't up yet. Stop, and the jury goes straight back to whatever it was showing — and Blackout kills the broadcast outright, like it kills everything else.
- Five switches for the courtroom. Captions, page:line stamps, video, audio, and the linked document — each on or off for the jury while your own window keeps showing everything. Chain video and audio together and one click covers an objection.
- Nothing undesignated. Ever. The caption band is clipped to the designation: no line from before the first word or after the last can surface on the jury screen.
- Documents on cue. A clip with a linked exhibit puts the document full-screen and tucks the video into the corner you picked for it.
- Mute, and the captions follow. Mute the audio for an objection and the jury's caption band goes dark with it. Your preview keeps a word cursor so the un-mute lands on the exact word, and nothing spoken while muted ever surfaces on the jury's captions afterward.
- How much longer? The playback bar shows time remaining in the current clip and in the whole list, the question counsel asks mid-playback.
- It knows where you stopped. Close mid-clip tonight; tomorrow's review resumes at the same second.
- Only what should play, plays. Excluded clips, clips without times, and clips whose objection you sustained are left out of the queue entirely.
Impeachment, cued and cited.
- Select. Impeach. Done. Select the testimony, run Impeach: a dedicated player opens with the clip cued and live page:line captions, independent of whatever the jury display is doing until you choose to show it.
- No video? No problem. Impeach with Text Only puts the words themselves on the jury display: a clean card with the quote and a full cite. Works on any transcript, no sync required.
- Brief-ready cites. Right-click any testimony to copy it with its citation, ready to paste: (Smith Dep. 12:5–13:2).
The impeachment player: cued, cited, and private until you send it
“I never saw the maintenance log. Nobody showed it to me.”
SMITH DEP. 12:5–12:8 · VOL. 1 · SHOWN TO THE JURY
Impeach with Text Only: the jury sees the words
Present like the room is yours.
- Annotate live. Highlight, callout magnification, redaction, arrows, measurement, and a laser pointer (classic dot or comet trail), every mark reaching the jury as you draw it.
- Presenter notes and jury preview. Your talking points sit under the staged exhibit and a small mirror of the jury display sits beside it — both private to your screen.
- Evidence Lock. Flip one switch and nothing unadmitted can reach the jury by a mis-click. Court-excluded exhibits get a sterner double-check even with the lock off, because that one can mean a mistrial.
- Displays that heal themselves. Projector drops mid-trial? The jury view re-opens and restores the published exhibit the instant the picture returns.
- Trial Mode. Dock hidden, menu bar gone, ⌘Q asks first. Nobody ends your presentation by accident.
Admission status, one click away
The presenter bar: Blackout · Staged · Live
Two documents. One screen. No fumbling.
One key splits the stage in two. The comparison is locked to your jury display's own proportions and divided exactly down the middle — no draggable divider, no surprises. What you lay out at counsel table is pixel-for-pixel what the courtroom sees.
- One key. Backslash splits the staged exhibit into this page and the next. ⇧N re-spreads whenever the panes drift apart, and Tab moves focus between them.
- Fill either pane, three ways. Click a pane and pick from the sidebar, drag a row straight onto it, or use the pane's own dropdown.
- One toolbar, both pages. Choose Highlight once and draw on either side. A callout dragged across the divider paints over its neighbour instead of clipping at the seam.
- Teal and purple. Each pane keeps its identity color, and the same tint marks that exhibit's row in the sidebar. You always know which document is where.
- Lock the comparison. Freeze both pages so a stray click can't swap one out mid-argument.
- Save it whole. One snapshot captures both exhibits, both pages, and every mark — and restores the entire comparison in a click.
Both hands stay on the keyboard
The stage is a scale model of the jury screen
Ask for it the way you'd say it.
- Space, space. One box searches the whole case: exhibits, document text, transcripts, snapshots, and app actions, so "blackout" is a command, not a scroll through menus. Every result wears a badge saying what matched, and Tab narrows the list to one kind.
- Instant, case-wide. Every PDF's text is indexed the moment it lands, typed documents need no OCR step, and results come back in milliseconds no matter how big the case gets.
- Search by meaning. "The email about delaying the shipment" finds the page even when those words never appear. On-device semantic search over your OCR'd exhibits.
- Jump by cite. Type 45:12 and every deposition offers the jump straight to that page and line.
Quick Search: tap Space twice, anywhere. Every hit says what matched
The paper trail builds itself.
- Admission Board. Offered, admitted, conditional, rejected, excluded, withdrawn, each with the witness it came in through and when. The clerk report exports itself, grouped the way the clerk wants it.
- Exhibits Shown record. The first time each exhibit reaches the jury is stamped permanently. Export exactly what the jury saw, and when.
- QR recall. Every exhibit and clip carries a scannable code. Scan a printed exhibit list with a barcode scanner and the exhibit stages instantly. No typing mid-examination.
- Target Notebook. Turn it on for a hearing and everything published to the jury files itself into a binder. The record keeps itself.
The exhibit sidebar, Bates ranges and all
The features you find the night you need them.
Siri, hands free
"Create a clip of Smith 12 5 to 13 2." The clip cuts itself, range and all, while your hands stay on the transcript.
Redaction assistant
SSNs, emails, phones, birth dates, and account numbers found for you, then burned permanently into flattened exports.
Watched folders
Tonight's production lands in a folder; Evidentiary sees it, holds it in a review tray, and files it on your say-so.
Named snapshots
Save tonight's markups under a name. Restore them in court tomorrow, exactly as drawn.
Murky scans, rescued
Brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, and tint, adjusted live while the exhibit is on the jury display.
Keynote in one click
Any clip list becomes a deck for closing, one slide per clip, captions included.
Ask Evidentiary
The manual answers back. Ask how to do something and the answer arrives with the guide chapter it came from — on-device, nothing sent anywhere. And the ? in the corner opens the guide at whatever you're working on.
Stickers, Bates, batch rename
Court exhibit stickers, Bates prefixes like SMITH- or PEX-, and a renamer that previews every file before it touches one. None of it destructive.
Ready for court?
The Pre-Trial Check audits displays, files, and settings before you walk in. Run it from Quick Search, or just ask Siri.
