Transparent about limitations

No image recognition, automatic evidence validation or fabricated source documents.

Build an editorial investigation board

Arrange documents, notes, markers and connecting lines into a manually authored investigation-board animation. Treat the board as an editorial visualization: the tool does not analyze or authenticate evidence.

Example workflow

Start from the fictional sample or a blank board and add only source material you are allowed to use.

Place notes and markers, connect related items and time how each part is revealed.

Preview the complete board and its disclosure label, then export a still, storyboard, silent WebM or project data.

Authored example: Create a fictional classroom exercise about a misplaced item. Add an invented note and source image, connect them with a line and keep the editorial label visible throughout.

Limits and privacy: There is no forensic analysis, evidence authentication, face identification or automatic transcript. The fixed EDITORIAL VISUALIZATION label appears in rendered output; transparent PNG includes a small opaque backing patch behind it. Silent 1280 × 720 WebM records the board and is not an overlay for imported video. SRT uses entered titles and notes; projects embed images, are not autosaved and are limited to 90 seconds.

Common questions

Can the board verify or authenticate evidence?

No. It is a manual editorial visualization workspace. It does not examine evidence, identify people or confirm facts; verify source material independently.

Does transparent PNG or WebM create a clean transparent overlay?

No. Transparent PNG includes an opaque backing patch behind the fixed disclosure label, and WebM records the board rather than compositing over imported video.
