Opening an Existing Sync File or DVT Bundle

Reopen a finished sync on any machine — load a DVT Bundle (.zip) or a raw sync file into the viewer without re-running the sync.

A finished sync is portable. Whether a teammate handed you a bundle, you moved to a different workstation, or you deleted a job and kept the deliverable, you can open the finished product without redoing any work.

Use Open Sync File

  1. Click Open Sync File in the desktop app's top bar.
  2. Select either a DepoFlow bundle (.zip) — the DVT Bundle you delivered — or a raw sync.json file from a job's folder.
  3. The sync opens directly in the viewer. Nothing is re-transcribed or re-aligned — the existing sync data is used as-is.

When to Reach for It

  • Handoffs — a videographer runs the sync, an attorney opens the bundle on their own machine to review.
  • Second workstation — review at your desk what you synced on a laptop at the deposition.
  • Recovery — reopen the deliverable for a job you have since cleaned out of the app.

No Software for Recipients?

If the person receiving the sync does not have DepoFlow at all, send them the standalone HTML viewer export instead — it plays in any browser with nothing to install.

Sync Your Next Deposition with DepoFlow

Local syncs are free on your own machine. Download the desktop app and see for yourself.
