This is a common misconception. In the past, legal videography was often reserved for only certain types of proceedings, like evidence depositions, as cumbersome equipment and high prices steered many attorneys away from choosing digital solutions. Even today, this remains a popular perception as many big firms still charge exorbitant fees for their video deposition and electronic transcript services. Exhibit 5 is different. We believe that taking advantage of technology is an important factor for success in the modern legal workplace, and thus we strive to keep our services both accessible and affordable. With Exhibit 5, you will receive a FREE video with every proceeding, available 24/7 on our secure and easy to use online repository. We also provide free electronic filing of your videos, transcripts, and exhibits to help keep you organized. Finally, with Exhibit 5, you will never pay more for our transcript services, as we will gladly match the rates of any agency or stenographer you have used in the past.

If you are having difficulty accessing your video, please consult the detailed instructions below or contact our office:

Your free video will be made available on our online repository within 24 hours of the completion of your proceeding. Once the video is online, you will receive an email from a member of our staff indicating that the video is now available for viewing and downloading. To access your video, visit our website, www.exhibit5.com, and log in with the username and password we provided you via email. Once logged in, you will see your proceedings organized by case. Click the appropriate case, and all of the proceedings you have scheduled with us in the case will appear below. Once you find the video you are looking to download, you will see two options below the witness's picture and information: "View WMV Video" and "Save WMV Video." We highly recommend that you choose the "Save WMV Video" option. Selecting this option allows you to save the video to your computer, and thus provides you the convenience of offline access to the file. To download the video, simply click, "Save WMV Video," and the video will immediately start to download. Depending on the length of the video and the strength of your internet connection, download times will vary. Once the download is complete, you will be able to watch the proceeding via your computer's media player. If you are experiencing difficulties, it may be related to the make and model of your computer. For instance, Mac users may need to install an alternate media player in order to view the video. We highly recommend downloading VLC Media Player if you are experiencing difficulty with your computer's default video player. Use the following link to download your free copy of VLC Media Player: http:// www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html. Alternatively, you can opt to watch the video immediately by clicking, "View WMV Video." You may have difficulty streaming the video using this option, as our video streaming is often browser sensitive. If you are having difficulty, try using an alternate web browser. Accessing your video should be a fairly simple process. However, if you continue to have any difficulty, please contact our office, and we will be happy to help you get your video working.

Exhibit 5 Digital Court Reporting eliminates the need for stenography by offering clients a modern and inexpensive electronic alternative to traditional reporting. Our team of experienced legal videographers will arrive at your office a few minutes before the scheduled proceeding to setup their equipment. Once all parties have arrived, your digital reporter, a valid notary public in the State of Illinois, will swear in the witness, and you're ready to begin. Our reporters are happy to accommodate any requests you may have throughout the proceeding and are fully equipped to play back questions and answers at your request. At the end of the day, your reporter will collect all exhibits to be scanned and filed electronically. They will be returned to your office within one week. Immediately following the proceeding, we will begin to upload the video to our secure online repository. The video will be made available for download within 24 hours of the proceeding. If you then choose to order a transcript, our experienced transcript production team will create your transcript straight from the video record.

Transcripts are filed along with the corresponding video and exhibits on our secure online repository. Our standard transcript format is a PDF file. Your transcript order will come with a fully searchable, full-sized PDF transcript, as well as a condensed version. Both include a printable index. E-Transcript also available upon request. If you prefer an alternate format, we will do our best to accommodate you. Our standard delivery time is 7 to 10 days. Expedited delivery options are available at an additional charge.

We accept payment in the form of check or credit. If you prefer to pay by credit card, please log on to our online repository and click the invoices tab. Otherwise, please send a check for the amount owed to Exhibit 5, 2 East Oak Street, Unit 2908, Chicago, Illinois 60610. You also have the option of placing a credit card on file with our office. We recommend this option as it allows us to process your orders immediately after they are received by our office, ensuring the quickest turnaround time.

Please contact our office for a rate sheet. We offer a price match guarantee for our transcript services. If you have used an agency or stenographer in the past with cheaper rates, simply provide us with a rate sheet or invoice, and we will gladly match that price.

Our office is more than happy to provide you with a high resolution online video file or DVD at your request.

Exhibit 5 offers a variety of video editing services for an additional fee. Please contact our office with your specific editing request, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

If you are interested in viewing your free video from a smart phone or tablet, please contact our office.

If your device is not already equipped to view PDF files, check the app store to download a free PDF viewer.

We have a variety of equipment available to integrate with your office's setup to ensure your proceeding goes off without a hitch. Please contact our office for assistance, and we will do our best to accommodate any unique request you may have.
