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.

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

What program should they have used?

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.
