Video forensics training should go beyond showing which buttons to click.
Amped Software’s image and video forensics training courses pair hands-on workflows with the scientific principles behind every analysis. You will learn not only how to use the tools effectively, but also why each step is forensically sound and defensible.
Training Built Around Your Casework
Amped’s training courses are built to bridge core theory directly to real-world forensic practice, covering everything from workflow design and validation to reporting and courtroom-ready output. Participants return to their lab with processes they can apply immediately.
Daniel Payne of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) summarized the impact succinctly:
“The training really put me in a good spot to use the software … Would recommend [the] class overall.”

Advanced Amped FIVE Training Modules: Target the Skills You Need Next
Once you’ve mastered core workflows, your next requirement is often specific. You may find yourself asking:
- How do I safely convert an unusual CCTV export?
- How do I correct footage to support accurate scene interpretation in a traffic collision or incident?
- How do I measure distances or estimate vehicle speed from video, and explain uncertainty?
- How do I present video evidence clearly to non-technical audiences in court?
- How do I stay current as tools and filters evolve?
Amped FIVE’s advanced modules are designed to meet these needs: focused and in-depth, they let you invest your time in the capabilities that will most directly improve your casework.
