Creating Moments and Stories

A Story is the video you drop into a presentation. Anyone with Moments access can nominate a clip. Only a user with PIO Stories + Moments can approve it, build the Story, publish it, and download the file.

Set that permission first: Creating a PIO user.

1. Nominate a Moment

Nominating Moments

  1. Open BWC Review and select the call.
  2. Play to the part you want, then click Create Moment on the video player.
  3. Drag the time slider to set the clip. It must be between 5 seconds and 2 minutes. The editor opens on a 30-second range around the playhead.
  4. Enter a Moment Name. Use a name you can search for later. Matching it to the Story title makes it easier to find.
  5. Click Create.

The Moment shows in the Moments tab on the timeline, and on the officer's workflow. Leave transcript spelling for the PIO. You can nominate a Moment on any video you can open, including Pending, below-standard, and use-of-force calls.

2. Approve the Moment

Approving Moments

This requires PIO Moment Approval or PIO Stories + Moments, set in Account Settings → User Management.

  1. Open BWC Review and select the call from the list on the left.
  2. Open the Moments tab and click the nominated Moment in the timeline.
  3. Adjust the time range and name if needed. Leave extra time here. You can trim it in the Story editor, but you cannot add time back later.
  4. Click Update if you changed anything.
  5. Turn on Approved.

Approval starts captions and redaction detection. An approved Moment can no longer be edited by the person who nominated it.

3. Create the Story

Creating a Story

This requires PIO Stories + Moments.

  1. Open Stories from the header.
  2. Click Add a new story.
  3. Enter a title and click Create.
  4. In the Story editor, click Add Moment.
  5. Select the approved Moment. If it is missing, it is not approved yet. Go back to the call, open the Moment, and check the Approved switch.
  6. To add more clips, click Add Moment again between the intro and outro cards.

4. Edit before you publish


In the editor you can:

  • Change the Story title.
  • Edit the Intro and Outro title cards. Each card is 5 seconds. You can add a department badge and title text.
  • Trim each Moment with the time slider, then click Update and play it back.
  • Edit subtitles from the transcript.
  • Add or remove audio and video redactions. TRULEO runs auto-redaction. The PIO can change those marks.

Click Preview Story and play the whole piece. Go back to the editor for any fixes. Click Save and Exit to keep it as a draft. Drafts are visible only to the PIO.

5. Publish

  1. Open the Story.
  2. Click Publish Story at the top right.
  3. Wait. The screen says Publishing Story. This may take a few minutes.

If you edit a Story that is already published, it shows as Published (Changes Pending). Click View Last Published to see the live version, or Re-Publish Story to replace it.

Publishing makes the Story available to department users inside TRULEO. Anyone in the department can open Stories and watch it. Published Stories are deleted automatically after 60 days. To take one down sooner, see Unpublish and/or Delete Stories.

6. Download it for a presentation

Publishing and Sharing Stories

  1. Open Stories.
  2. Find the published Story.
  3. Click the three-dot menu and choose Download. Download stays disabled until the publish build has finished.

The file is a video. Insert that video into PowerPoint, Google Slides, or whatever you present from. TRULEO does not build the slide deck from the Moment.
