What is the difference between TrialFusion and other courtroom presentation software?

In criminal trials today, there are usually an overwhelming number of digital crime scene photos. The organization and quick retrieval for publishing of these photos ( and documents) is a must. TrialFusion does this one thing and it does it well. Instead of days spent on organizing photos, TrialFusion does it in minutes. It will allow you to focus on other things.
Sure, other software may do more things but why pay for those bells and whistles when you will never use them.

Why is TrialFusion a better alternative to PowerPoint?

PowerPoint is a great tool in the courtroom but is limited by it's linear style of presentation. It can be adapted out of this linear mode but it takes a lot of time and effort to get exhibits properly oriented for the courtroom. It simply isn’t designed for that operation. TrialFusion is.

Does TrialFusion totally replace PowerPoint?

No. TrialFusion simply organizes photos and documents for the courtroom and uses bar code technology for fast and reliable retrieval. PowerPoint is still a useful tool in creating demonstrative evidence, maps, scenes and other creative exhibits.

3) Cost
4) No overhead lighting issues
5) No orientation of photo problems (crooked, upside down etc)

Do I need a lot of photos/exhibits to use TrialFusion?
No. Whether you have 2 or 2000 photos/exhibits, TrialFusion will prepare your case quicker with the reliability that is essential in the courtroom.

Does TrialFusion alter the exhibits?

No, TrialFusion creates and publishes an exact copy of your photos.

Why do I have to export the file into a folder, why cant I print directly from TrialFusion?

The simple step of saving the exhibits into a folder and then printed was done for a couple of reasons. First, it allows people to use their operating system tools that they are familiar with. Second, it adds flexibility for people to save the file on some external media and print the file at another computer or have it printed commercially.

Can I place an exhibit sticker on my exhibits?

Yes. During the export process, the user may select to place and exhibit sticker on their TrialFusion exhibit. Any color may also be selected. By not making a selection, no sticker will be created.
