Working with two independent video forensics experts, WIRED examined the 21-gigabyte files released by the DOJ. Using a metadata tool, reporters analyzed both Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) and Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data to identify signs of postprocessing.
The “raw” file shows clear signs of having been processed using an Adobe product, most likely Premiere, based on metadata that specifically references file extensions used by the video editing software. According to experts, Adobe software, including Premiere and Photoshop, leaves traces in exported files, often embedding metadata that logs which assets were used and what actions were taken during editing. In this case, the metadata indicates the file was saved at least four times over a 23-minute span on May 23, 2025, by a Windows user account called “MJCOLE~1.” The metadata does not show whether the footage was modified before each time it was saved.
The embedded data suggest the video is not a continuous, unaltered export from a surveillance system, but a composite assembled from at least two separate MP4 files. The metadata includes references to Premiere project files and two specific source clips—2025-05-22 21-12-48.mp4 and 2025-05-22 16-35-21.mp4. These entries appear under a metadata section labeled “Ingredients,” part of Adobe’s internal schema for tracking source material used in edited exports. The metadata does not make clear where in the video the two clips were spliced together.
Further investigation suggests that almost three minutes of the video could be missing though the authors concede that the missing minutes may have been overlap between the two files that were stitched together.
I completely agree. My confusion is with the people who are being critical of the coverup still seem to be missing the point that the video is irrelevant in the first place.
The video may as well have been of Disney world. I don’t know why anyone cares about the edit and I don’t believe all the people talking about the edit are complicit in the coverup.
Wait is there proof of that now?
I’m a couple days late, but yeah, it was pretty clearly edited based on the metadata.

Well there’s and entire minute missing, and the video was released with Adobe Premiere metadata…
I read that wasn’t even epsteins cell
The video shows a totally different cell than the original news pictures yeah.
So what was the point of it? And why does it matter if was edited?
It matters because that missing minute is when he actually died. One minute he’s alive, the next he’s dead.
I mean if it’s not even his cell, what’s the point of the video
The usual: buffoonish attempts at distraction.

They took money meant for emergency infrastructure and checks notes gave it to cops.
