How to authenticate video evidence for court?

Authenticating video evidence requires forensic review of metadata, timestamps, frame continuity, and file structure. A qualified video forensic expert can determine whether the recording is original, continuous, and unaltered, then provide court-ready documentation to support admissibility.
