How AI Video Detection Works
AI video detection looks for signals that may suggest AI generation, deepfake editing, or manipulation. The result is a likelihood-based screening report, not proof.
Important: Reports are likelihood-based screening aids. They are not proof that a video is real or fake.
AI video check
Check a public link or upload the original video
Public TikTok and X/Twitter links are in beta when accessible. Instagram and YouTube links may return limited link scans. Upload the original file for the most reliable frame, motion, and timeline analysis.
YouTubeTikTokInstagramX / TwitterUpload
Option 1
Best-effort for supported public social video URLs. If public media is unavailable, upload the original video for deeper analysis.
Option 2
Use upload when you need the strongest available frame, motion, and timeline analysis.
By clicking Check a video link, you confirm you have the right to submit this video link for analysis and understand results are likelihood-based, not proof.
Estimated credits depend on video size and duration. Detected platform: Unknown.

Signal checks
Evidence signal readiness
During analysis, this panel shows process status only. The formal six signal groups appear in the completed result below.
Visual artifact signals
Numeric scores appear only after visual evidence is actually sampled.
Pending
PendingMotion/temporal consistency
Numeric scores appear only after temporal checks complete.
Pending
PendingCompression/encoding patterns
Numeric scores appear only after compression and encoding checks complete.
Pending
PendingAudio-video consistency
Numeric scores appear only when audio/video evidence is available.

PendingSource detail signals
Source detail checks appear only when media or source metadata is available.

PendingThe 3-step workflow
Link-based scans depend on public media access. TikTok and X/Twitter are beta when accessible, Instagram is best-effort, and YouTube may return limited public-link signals. Upload is the most reliable path for full frame analysis.
- Paste a public video link or upload the original video file.
- Review what can be checked and what may fail.
- Read likelihood, confidence, suspicious signals, unchecked signals, limitations, and next steps.
What signals may be reviewed
- Visual signals: faces, hands, object edges, backgrounds, reflections, and texture clues.
- Motion signals: flicker, warping, repeated movement, and unusual changes between frames.
- Audio-video consistency signals when readable audio is available.
- Source clues from the public page when available.
- Limit signals: video quality, length, compression, edits, and what could not be checked.
Why detectors can be wrong
Social videos are often edited, compressed, cropped, reuploaded, or screen-recorded. A real video can look strange after heavy compression. An AI-edited video can contain real footage. A short clip may not show enough evidence.
That is why AI Video Detector separates likelihood from confidence and explains limitations on every report.
FAQ
Questions this page answers
What happens before a scan starts?
The page checks that the input looks like a supported video link or an uploaded video file and that you confirmed submission rights.
What signals are strongest for uploaded files?
Uploads can provide clearer frame, motion, duration, and timeline signals than a restricted public link.
When should a person review the result?
Use human review whenever the result could affect a person’s reputation, a news claim, safety, or money.
