Video Deposition Rates

Video Depositions

$300.00 (minimum) which includes the first two hours.

$125.00 per hour thereafter, billed in quarter hour increments.

Depositions that go over 8 hours in a single day or depositions occurring on weekends and holidays, will be invoiced at 1 ½ times our regular rates for those hours.  Our billing time begins at the deposition's scheduled start time and ends when the videographer goes off the record.  Unlike other videographers, we DO NOT charge a "set-up" fee.

Add a Second Camera package for $150.00 per hour.  A second camera can be used when you want one camera on the witness and another camera on exhibits, or the taking attorney.  Both images can be merged into a single "split-screen" image later in post-production onto a DVD or CD (see Post-Production Editing Services below).

Video Deposition Copies

$35.00 per DVD, VHS or mini-DV tape. We can also provide you with the deposition video synched to the transcript on YesLaw CD's or DVD's!

FAQs for Bay Street Legal Video

FAQs for Bay Street Legal Video

Do you charge a set-up fee?

No. We charge only for our time on-site, from an hour before the deposition start time to a half-hour after. We don’t charge for lunch.

What’s the minimum charge?

The minimum charge is three hours.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Bay Street has no cancellation fee if the deposition is cancelled with more than 24 hours’ notice. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, there’s generally a three-hour minimum cancellation fee, though we may waive this fee under certain circumstances.

Can you do streaming video depositions?

Yes. Live deposition video can be streamed worldwide. Just give us notice so that we can coordinate the necessary arrangements.

Can Bay Street provide a copy of the video deposition on-site?

Yes. Just give us notice when you schedule the deposition and you can leave the deposition with a copy of the video on DVD, playable in any consumer DVD player and on most newer computers.

What’s the difference between a DVD-ROM and a DVD Video?

A DVD Video is just like the videos you rent at the video store: it’s high quality, only for playback. A DVD-ROM uses a DVD disk for data storage, just like you might with a CD-ROM. Because it can hold up to 4.7 GB of data, it can hold an entire day’s testimony on a single disk in MPEG-1 format. These MPEG-1 files have lower video quality, but are easily editable, and can be used in all trial presentation software, as well as in PowerPoint.

Video Sync-to-Transcript Documents

Video Sync-to-Transcript

Getting your video synced to your transcript can be a powerful way to organize, review and present videotaped testimony for trial or arbitration.

What is Video Synchronized-to-Transcript ?

With Sync-to-Transcript, a text version of the transcript is synced up line-by-line to the deposition video, locking the text and image together. When viewed on a computer, you can see both at same time – the video playing, the text scrolling. You can also jump to key moments of video testimony by clicking on that text in the transcript.

What is included?

We’ll deliver MPEG-1 video files of the testimony on disk. We’ll also deliver “sync” files that contain the transcript text and “tags” linking the transcript to the video.

How can it be used?

• With a synchronized video and transcript, you can isolate clips of important moments in the testimony, showing both the video and the transcript at the same time.
• You can also play these clips off your laptop in trial, in arbitration, during mediation or for colleagues. You have total control over what you show or don’t show, and total flexibility to add or remove testimony as your strategy changes.
• It’s also a convenient way to review only the video that you want, without having to fast-forward or skip around – just select any portion of transcript and the accompanying video will play in sync.

What’s required?

Sync-to-transcript video can be used with any trial presentation software, including LiveNote, Sanction, Trial Director and Summation. You can also benefit from all of the key features of synched video by using the free Synchronizer™ viewing software that we include with every synched video.
