# For legal videographers.

The picture is only part of the record. Audio, source files, time references, and a careful handoff all need your attention. Follow the work from the recording brief to delivery.

*Check the sources. Monitor the recording. Review the handoff.*

## From the recording brief to the reviewed file.

Three points in the day where a clear plan and a return to the source help the next person work from the same record.

1. Before the proceeding

   ### Agree on what you need to capture.

   Confirm the recording brief, expected files, and who handles each handoff. Check the picture, microphones, storage, and backup approach for the actual setup before the proceeding begins.

2. At the recording desk

   ### Keep the sources identifiable.

   Monitor the picture and audio during capture. Keep source recordings, time references, and your recording notes together so a later reviewer can identify the file and check the passage against the reporter’s transcript.

3. Before delivery

   ### Check the file. Send the context.

   Check the requested files against the job brief, including playback and any agreed passages. Preserve the source recordings and include the references and exhibit log the receiving team needs.

The reporter certifies.  
The software never does.

You control the recording and review the video handoff. The court reporter makes and certifies the transcript. DepoStack supports those distinct responsibilities.
