Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro.
may further fuel conspiracy theories… LOL
There is already a substantial part of the world that believes the wild conspiracy theory that Epstein killed himself.deleted by creator
Meanwhile in other “No S—t! News” yada yada yada.

I can excuse Feds falsifying evidence to cover for their owners in the billionaire pedophile class, but I draw the line at using Adobe software
This needs more upvotes
I’ll neither forget nor forgive what they did to Macromedia.
What program should they have used?
ffmpeg
Free and open source is the only ethical choice to use while serving the oligarchy.
Unironically, if all they did was just cut out parts they didn’t want, using open source ffmpeg to rencode and strip metadata would have been the best way to do it.
Using Adobe is just fucking sloppy. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure Adobe own any content that got uploaded to their servers during the edit. They likely have at least frames of it sitting on their servers if not the whole video.
Iranian hackers have the opportunity to do something hilarious
Or chinese, russian, honestly anybody. Anybody has this chance.
MS Paint, how is this even a question?
Could even use your phone to record the screen and use your hand to censor out what you want hidden
I use Kdenlive BTW.
They literally said they color corrected and enhanced parts of it for visibility. So yes, the footage was modified.
But why? News agencies can do that if they wish, for the viewers, but why would a government agency releasing video evidence touch it up in any way? That’s just asking for questions.
I would assume it’s to make the metadata seem more reasonable, so people pay less attention to the cut. ‘The “perfectly innocent” act of “touching it up” is the reason the metadata says what it does, not because we removed part of it. Don’t look any closer!’
Yeah I agree. Pretty sure the whole trust part goes out the window when you aren’t releasing the actual raw footage to the press.
The footage with the murderer is buried somewhere deep in Adobe secret database. I don’t want to live in a world where Adobe can blackmail the goverment.

Oh they’re 1000% already doing that, have you seen their goddamn prices?

I’m not surprised, and I’d still say it’s not an unlikely grand conspiracy if some rich guy paid a couple guards to kill him.

If that were the case then they wouldn’t have the fucking government covering it up. It literally is a conspiracy
Well, I don’t see the government covering it up, and I don’t believe in conspiracy theories.
Saying “I don’t believe X conspiracy theory” is understandable. But saying you don’t believe in any “conspiracy theory”. Like, you think that the government just always tells the truth and doesn’t cover up anything?
I believe in conspiracies as a general concept, like the two guards, and I believe governments have classified programs. When it gets to a certain point where vast numbers of people are involved in covering up something huge perfectly, you run into the problem of everything being possible and nothing being falsifiable, though.
In practice, people don’t believe in conspiracy theories because they honestly assess it’s the neatest way to explain the world, it’s because they get emotional satisfaction out of the community and the feeling that they know something which other people don’t. There’s psychology literature about it and everything.
What I said is my goto answer when I suspect I’m about to be arguing about melting steel beams or whatever, because that’s just a waste of time.
There is an additional psychological mechanism at play here to be aware of, which is that some criminal actions taken by the government in order to protect ruling class interests would destroy the legitimacy of their claim to power if admitted to. The importance of controlling the narrative around so-called State Crimes Against Democracy therefore becomes existential.
Marxists are more aware of this dynamic because they understand the nature of power structures. It’s also to be the same reason their theories are viciously attacked by the ruling class.
But they’re not covering it up perfectly, as this post shows. They’re trying to, make they’ve made mistakes.
You’re literally on a thread about evidence of tampering with the video. There’s a section if the video that’s missing. If that isn’t evidence of them covering something up I don’t know what is. Do you not see it because you don’t want to or do you actually not think that shows there’s something going on?

okay then you’re either blind or a moron
Americans talk about conspiracy as if its something that only happens in literature. Of all places
Americans tend to overuse conspiracy to mythologize so they can support theirvmasdive cognitive dissonance and/or feel like there’s a daddy in control of everything up to and apparentlybincluding the weather. Except tor the handful who are fucking sick if that shit and so used to dismissingbit out of hand.
A bad thing in my country is the amount of Tesla’s we buy. In America it’s ICE, fascism and the government protecting the rich, powerful pedophiles from being exposed.
Jack Ruby did it
This isn’t a problem, as it is well known that Adobe Premiere is not designed to modify video.
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not, so I’ll leave this here just in case.
Video editing that’s always a cut above.
Edit and trim video. Add effects. Mix audio. Animate titles. Magically add new frames to clips. Supercharge your workflow with AI.
Stop spreading lies, Jesse Waters already independently confirmed that this is not the case and Weirdfish is correct.
You guys are flying too high right now, they can’t keep up with the humor!
I take such downvotes with pride - it means the joke works as intended and some people are confused:)
Can people really not tell this is a joke? Come on…
Poe’s law
it’s literally video editing software, the fuck are you smoking
Its a joke that adobe sucks i think.
probably, if it wasn’t from .world i would assume so, but i’ve seen too many of them say complete brainwormed shit to give them the benefit of the doubt
