Course Objectives

We can see above that this video’s date and time has been manipulated to change the context of the video.

What you can’t see above are the clues in the edited video about:

• The software (and version) used to make the edits
• The date/time the edits were made
• The location of the stored file on the source computer used to make the edits
• Other investigative leads.
