AI Video Detector
Sora-class video generators are here — and most consumer detectors still stop at text. AI Detector 360 samples frames across your video's timeline, scores each one with the image engines, and shows you a heat timeline of where AI signals concentrate.
MP4, MOV or WebM up to 100 MB / 3 minutes. Processing is queued and takes 15–60 seconds.
Frames are sampled evenly across the timeline — intros and outros included — and scored individually.
Peak-sensitive aggregate score, per-frame chart and PDF report.
A video that's 90% real footage with a 10-second AI-generated segment will fool any tool that averages the whole file. Our aggregation is peak-sensitive: a strongly flagged segment raises the overall verdict even when the rest looks authentic, and the timeline chart shows you exactly where to look.
Each sampled frame runs through the same engines as our image detector — classifier, provenance inspection and deepfake face checks — so video results inherit the full evidence stack.
The EU AI Act's Article 50 transparency rules became applicable in August 2026, requiring AI-generated video and deepfakes to be disclosed. Verification tooling is no longer optional for publishers and platforms operating in Europe — and manual review doesn't scale.
We extract frames evenly across the video timeline, score each frame with AI-image classifiers and provenance checks, then combine them with a peak-sensitive formula. You get an overall score plus a per-frame timeline showing where AI likelihood spikes.
Yes. Frames containing faces receive a dedicated deepfake check that targets swapped or synthetically altered faces — the signature of most malicious video manipulation.
MP4, MOV and WebM up to 100 MB and about 3 minutes. A video scan costs 25 credits. Longer footage? Split it into segments or contact us about higher limits.
Usually 15–60 seconds depending on length. Scans run in a queue — you can leave the page and the result will be waiting in your history.
