LEVA — Globally recognized training and certification in the science of forensic video analysis
Join TodayUpcoming Events and Training
Forensic Audio Fundamentals
Students will learn how to improve audio recording issues with currently available software tools, including an in depth review of the iZotope RX software features and processes. Attendees will also receive information on forensic audio reference resources.
Advanced Forensic Video Interrogations: An In-Depth Examination of Video Analysis Processes
The examination process and workflow learned in this course will provide attendees with advanced examination skills and a greater understanding of the embedded metadata within video evidence files (at the frame level). Using this information to produce accurate observations or calculations based on the file’s header information will result in a more thorough report and/or presentation and is also relevant information that can be provided to other experts who are untrained in video examination yet rely on video evidence in their field of expertise (i.e., accident reconstruction, use-of-force experts, biomechanical experts, etc.).
Image and Video Authentication
The Image and Video Authentication-200 Course is a 2-day intermediate course designed to give forensic video investigators, technicians, and analysts a foundational understanding of image/video authentication and enable them to perform basic authentication examinations of image and video evidence. Students will gain foundational knowledge of signal processing and digital data analysis necessary to effectively analyze images and videos to determine authenticity.
Level 2: Digital Multimedia Evidence Processing
The public expectation today is that if a crime occurs, there will be video/audio of the incident. There is a significant, specific skill set that investigators need to properly handle and process the digital multimedia evidence that gets collected. If the DME is not handled and processed carefully, according to best practices, the video/audio might not be interpreted accurately. This course exposes students to more advanced theory and hands-on techniques that conform to the Best Practices for the Acquisition and Processing of Digital Multimedia Evidence (DME).
Adobe Premiere Pro for Forensic Media – Beginners
A five-day hands-on class where you can learn how to use Premiere Pro, one of the world’s most popular and robust non-linear editing (NLE) systems, in a forensic media environment. Premiere Pro is not only used as a tool in forensic media processing but also for creative case derivatives and demonstrative samples within ongoing investigations or courtroom proceedings.
Level 3: The Principles of Forensic Video/Image Compare and Contrast
“The Principles of Video/Image Compare and Contrast” focuses on scientific methods to compare and contrast characteristics of questioned objects to known objects within CCTV video images. The process of examining class characteristics and individual characteristics found in questioned evidence is examined in detail. Using a variety of scientific procedures in a forensic lab environment, analysts/examiners develop a scientific workflow involving the hands-on analysis, comparison, and evaluation of video evidence, culminating in scientific analytical report writing and court exhibits for courtroom presentation.
