Review creator submissions
Check whether a submitted video shows signs of AI generation before accepting it for publication or collaboration.
AI video detector
AI-generated video detector for review workflows
AI-Generated Video Detector analyzes video frames, motion patterns, and visual signals to flag clips that may have been produced by AI generation tools. It supports Sora, Veo, Runway, Kling, Pika, HeyGen, and similar models — but cannot identify the specific tool used without independent source evidence.
Check whether a video may have been created or heavily edited by AI tools. Upload a file or paste a URL to get a score, confidence label, evidence frames, and reason codes.
Upload Your Video
Upload a clip or paste a URL to analyze the video for AI-generation signals.
MP4, MOV, WebM up to 50MB and 60 seconds on Free. Direct video URLs supported on all plans. Social URL parsing (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) on Pro. Free and Starter videos deleted within 24 hours. Results in 15–60 seconds.
By scanning, you agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy.
Use cases for this check
Screen advertising clips
Flag suspicious advertising clips that may use AI-generated faces, scenes, or product demos.
Catch synthetic media in publishing
Identify AI-generated content in your editorial pipeline before it reaches your audience.
What this check is best for
- Checking whether a video may have been created entirely by AI generation tools
- Screening advertising clips, marketing videos, or product demos for synthetic scenes
- Reviewing creator or influencer submissions before accepting them for publication
- Identifying AI-generated B-roll, stock footage, or background scenes in editorial workflows
What it can detect
- Fully AI-generated scenes — synthetic backgrounds, objects, and environments produced by text-to-video or image-to-video models
- Temporal inconsistencies — unnatural motion, physics violations, or object persistence errors across frames
- Texture and detail anomalies — repeating patterns, unnatural surface rendering, or inconsistent fine detail
- Structural artifacts — distorted hands, fingers, text, or geometric shapes that reveal AI generation
- Lighting inconsistencies — shadows and highlights that do not match across the scene
What it cannot detect
Understanding the limits helps you set realistic expectations and combine this tool with other verification methods.
- Which specific AI tool was used — the detector flags common signals but cannot attribute to Sora, Veo, Runway, or any specific model
- AI-assisted edits on otherwise real footage — partial AI upscaling, color grading, or background replacement may produce ambiguous signals
- Videos shorter than 3 seconds with insufficient frames for temporal analysis
- Content where AI generation was limited to audio, subtitles, or text overlays only
- Very high-quality AI output from the latest models with minimal detectable artifacts
Best input quality
Original files at 720p or higher resolution give the most reliable results. MP4, MOV, and WebM up to 50 MB and 60 seconds on the Free plan. Screen recordings, re-uploads from social platforms, and heavily compressed reposts reduce available signal. Upload the original file when you have access to it.

85
AI Likelihood Score
Verdict: Likely AI · Confidence: High
Signals detected:
- Temporal discontinuity in background scene at 0:05
- Structural inconsistency in hand geometry at 0:09
- Texture anomaly — repeating pattern in foliage at 0:14
Common false positives
These are situations where a real video may be incorrectly flagged as AI-generated.
- Heavy post-production — color grading, film grain overlays, and stylized editing can mimic AI textures
- Animated or motion-graphic content — synthetic by nature, may trigger AI-generation signals
- Video game footage or virtual camera renders — fully synthetic but not AI-generated in the usual sense
- Beauty-filtered or heavily retouched real footage — smooth skin and lighting effects can resemble AI output
Common false negatives
These are situations where an AI-generated video may not be flagged.
- High-quality AI output from recent models with few visible artifacts
- Short clips (under 3 seconds) that do not provide enough temporal data for analysis
- AI-generated content that has been post-processed to remove visible artifacts
- Mixed real-and-AI footage where only a small portion (e.g., background) is AI-generated
Manual verification workflow
The scan is a first-pass signal. For high-stakes content, combine it with these manual steps.
- Review evidence frames at full resolution — look for distorted text, unnatural hands, or inconsistent shadows
- Play the video at reduced speed and check for motion stutters, object pops, or background inconsistencies
- Search for the original creator and compare with their known production style or previous work
- Check metadata (if available) for editing software signatures or creation timestamps inconsistent with claimed origin
- Consider the source context — anonymous uploads or viral clips with no clear origin deserve more scrutiny
How to use this detector

Review the verdict, score, confidence label, evidence frames, and reason codes.
Page-specific questions
Can this tell me which AI tool made a video?
No. The detector flags AI-generation signals common across models. It cannot attribute a video to a specific tool without source records or creator disclosure.
What formats and sizes work best?
MP4, MOV, and WebM up to 50 MB and 60 seconds on the Free plan. For best results, upload the original file rather than a screen recording or compressed repost.
Can AI-assisted edits be detected?
Sometimes. If only part of the video is AI-generated (e.g., background replacement), the detector may flag partial signals. Results are less certain for mixed real-and-AI edits.
Does compression affect the score?
Yes. Heavy compression, platform transcoding, and re-uploading can reduce signal quality and lower confidence. Upload the original file when possible.
