Cold Case questions
Are the pictures real photos of the case?
No. They're generated pictures in a photographic style, showing what the narration describes. Where a real face, place or document matters, upload a photo you have the rights to use for that scene.
Can I show a timeline of the case?
Yes. Timeline bars, dates, quote cards and document inserts appear on screen, timed to the narration.
