Video Authenticity Forensic Analysis Needed
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a restaurant security video that captured me falling, and I need to know—conclusively—whether the file has been tampered with in any way. The footage sits on a thumb-drive I received from the venue; I’m worried about altered timestamps, hidden edits in the visual track, or any subtle audio manipulation that could misrepresent what really happened.
Here’s what I expect:
• A thorough forensic review using industry-standard tools (e.g., FFmpeg, Amped FIVE, ExifTool, or your preferred suite) to detect edits, frame drops, or spliced segments.
• Verification that the embedded metadata and timecode match the visual content, with attention to any discontinuities or recoding artifacts.
• Scrutiny of the audio track for splices, noise prints, or mismatch with the video stream.
• A clear, court-ready report summarizing methods, findings, and your confidence level, plus any supporting screenshots or comparison overlays.
• If you find anomalies, I’ll also need an explanation of their likely origin and impact.
I can courier the original thumb-drive or upload an untouched disk image to a secure folder—whichever suits your workflow and maintains evidentiary integrity. Let me know which file hashes you’ll need and any chain-of-custody steps you require so nothing is compromised.
If you’re experienced in digital forensics and comfortable producing documentation that stands up to legal scrutiny, I’d like to hear how you’d approach the task and roughly how long your analysis would take.
