From Classroom to Casework: What Students Say
It’s one thing to attend video evidence analysis training in a classroom. It’s another to walk back into your lab and feel ready to handle the messy video you see every day. Amped Software’s image and video forensics training courses are built around your operational reality: real cases, real constraints, and the need to justify every decision in reports and in court.
That real-world focus is exactly what many attendees value most. As Daniel Payne from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) put it:
“The instructor was able to go in depth about real world problems that we were facing, putting into perspective how to use the tools. The training really put me in a good spot to use the software. Melissa was really good and funny. I think focusing on cases we are working on really helps. Would recommend class overall, but I think I got the best experience I could from it.”
(Amped FIVE training class, 2024)
When you step into an Amped forensic video analysis course, you’re not just watching a trainer walk through a dataset. You’re invited to connect the material to your own investigations and ask questions about your specific challenges. You’ll leave with workflows you can apply as soon as you’re back at your workstation.
Which Amped’s Video Evidence Analysis Training Course Is Right for You in 2026?
Not every case, or every role, needs the same depth of forensic video analysis training. Below is a quick guide to the main Amped Software courses, the problems they solve, and the benefits you’ll gain in your day-to-day work.
Amped FIVE Training – Core Forensic Video Analysis Training
You receive poor-quality CCTV, body-worn, in-car, or mobile video and you’re expected to “make it clear” and explain every step. Without a structured approach, it’s easy to waste hours and still feel unsure about the result.
The Amped FIVE training course gives you a complete, end-to-end video evidence analysis training workflow: from decoding and conversion through enhancement, clarification, annotations, and reporting. You learn the underlying image and video science and how to apply it correctly in FIVE, so you can process footage efficiently and defend your methodology in court.

Amped FIVE Additions Training – When Your Cases Become More Complex
You already use Amped FIVE, but now you’re dealing with tougher formats, advanced filters, and more demanding legal scrutiny. You need to go deeper without guessing.
Amped FIVE Additions training builds on your existing skills and focuses on more advanced tools and workflows. You’ll learn to tackle complex formats, validate your processing, and create clearer evidence presentations. It’s the ideal digital forensics (image and video) training course if you want to move from competent user to advanced practitioner.
Amped Authenticate Training – Can You Tell if this Image or Video Is Genuine?
In many cases today, the key question is not “what does this show?” but “has this been edited?”. Without dedicated tools and expertise, it’s difficult to assess authenticity in a defensible way.
The Amped Authenticate training course teaches you how to evaluate integrity and authenticity using scientific, validated methods. You’ll understand compression traces, metadata, device characteristics, and signs of possible manipulation, and how to interpret them in Amped Authenticate. This gives you the confidence to state whether the media is likely genuine or altered, and to explain why.

Investigating Video Evidence Training – For Investigators and First Responders
Are you an investigator or a frontline officer who handles video evidence but doesn’t work in a forensic lab?
You’re first on scene or leading an investigation, and video evidence lands on your desk in unfamiliar formats. You need to view, triage, and use that video correctly, without accidentally damaging its evidential value.
The Investigating Video Evidence training focuses on practical, front-line video evidence analysis training using Amped Replay. You learn how to safely handle proprietary formats, apply basic corrections, redact sensitive content, and prepare clips for investigators, prosecutors, and the court. You get faster answers from video while preserving integrity and the chain of custody.
Which Advanced Video Evidence Training Module Do You Need Next?
Once you’ve mastered the core Amped FIVE workflow, your next challenge is usually very specific:
- “How do I safely convert this strange CCTV file?”
- “How do I correct the footage to ensure scene accuracy whilst investigating traffic collisions and accidents?”
- “How to estimate speed or measure distances from this video?”
- “How do I present video evidence clearly in court?”
- “How do I keep up with all the new filters and features?”
That’s exactly where the Amped FIVE training modules come in. They let you tailor deeper learning to your needs, so you only invest time in the skills that will have the biggest impact on your casework.
Module 1: Video Evidence Presentation Module – From Lab Results to Court-ready Exhibits
Do you need to present video and images clearly in court or briefings? In a way that judges, juries, and attorneys can understand?
If your primary focus is explaining evidence to non-technical audiences, this module helps you turn complex analysis into clear, defensible visuals. You’ll learn how to use Amped FIVE for annotations, redactions, timelines, and multi-camera views while maintaining a sound forensic workflow.
You leave with a structured approach to presenting video evidence in reports, briefings, and court, without cutting corners on methodology.

Module 2: Measurements and Speed Estimation Module – Ideal for Traffic Collision and Scene Analysis Investigators
Do your cases involve traffic collisions or accidents, vehicle movements, or questions like “How fast was that car going?”
This intermediate-to-expert module focuses on measurement filters (Measure 1D, 2D, 3D) and Speed Estimation filter in Amped FIVE. You’ll work through practical scenarios that combine photogrammetry, timing data, and scene geometry so you can measure distances, heights, and estimate vehicle speeds with precision and clearly explain the uncertainty of your results.
