Another year has come to a close, and what a year it was! Between tradeshows, training classes and software releases this year was very busy! As you all know, our main goal as StarWitness is to help you catch criminals with video. This year was better than ever to help that happen.
One of the tools we were proud to offer to the law enforcement community during 2008 was our Recovery and Analysis of Video Evidence training class. We held the class twice in 2008 with great success. The training class is a combined effort from us here at StarWitness and Dorothy Stout of Resolution Video. The week long training class provides everything you need to know to catch bad guys with video.

Wednesday night is typically dinner out together. We aim to make the training a memorable and educational experience for all! With two successful classes this past year we are looking forward to 2009 with two more classes. The first class will be held in Phoenix, Arizona in February and the second in September in Cary, North Carolina. (Please check out our five minute course preview if you want to learn more.)
Another great accomplishment of 2008 was the launch of Video Scene Magazine. Each issue of this magazine offers unique, expert insight and interviews about the latest opinions, gadgets and innovations surrounding forensic video and video surveillance technology. Every article is designed to be both informative and objective as we discuss the most critical issues in our field today. It's a must read for anyone committed to catching criminals with video. Set up your own free subscription and get a look at the first issue at videoscenemagazine.com.
Another way that we love to get out and stay involved in the law enforcement community is through tradeshows and conferences. We participated in many shows this year. One that stands out is the National Technical Innvestigators' Association Annual Training Conference and Technology Exhibition. Last year NATIA was hosted in San Jose, CA and proved to be a great opportunity for us. Not only did we connect with our customers but we were also able to educate those who have not heard about what is going on in the world of video evidence.
Any chance we get to educate people about the usefulness of video evidence is an automatic win. And if we have to organize a Nerf dart gun shoot off to help do that, we will! You heard us correctly. Every year at NATIA we use reception time to organize a fun game with t-shirt giveaways for everyone who participates. This year the big game was a Nerf gun shooting contest. Though there is no photographic proof of the great success, you'll have to take our word that the line wrapped around the aisles and the free t-shirts were a huge hit!
It is always a thrill to get face to face with the community at shows, but we have also been keeping busy making sure customers get the most out of our software. With the introduction of Field Agent, our new on-the-go video collection and analysis kit, we also released an updated version of Freezeframe. Freezeframe version 1.5 added the ability to work from an external hard drive in order to provide more case storage space as well as including important bug fixes. We also released an update for Video Pro which added a new spotlight/blotout filter as well as new sample graphs showcasing the filter. Since we believe in constantly improving our software to make it easier to use and to add new capabilities you can look forward to more releases in 2009!
And there you have it! It was a great year for StarWitness, but we couldn't have done it without the support of the community! So thanks to everyone who helped make 2008 such a great success.
