One convincing frame doesn’t explain a whole clip. Inspect source evidence, follow visual signals across sampled moments, and see what was checked in the soundtrack.
Evidence first, even when the answer is uncertain. Passive visual findings remain Inconclusive during beta. Basic Scan does not classify AI voices or face swaps.

A generated insert can sit between ordinary footage. Sampling across the clip and revisiting selected moments helps put individual findings in context.

The scan checks the container, duration, codec and tracks, then inspects available Content Credentials on the video itself. Export settings give context; only a valid, trusted AI declaration can support a strong source finding.
Visual checks inspect sampled moments in the video. Findings help direct attention to parts of the clip that need review, while the report explains the limits of that coverage.
Time segments help you locate sampled findings in your original clip. Review the surrounding action and its source before drawing a conclusion. A segment is a review window, not an exact boundary around an AI edit.
Sampling is a trade-off. It keeps a short-video scan practical, but fast cuts, subtle edits and moments between samples may be missed. Available timestamps describe the uploaded clip; they do not certify the full recording.
A video combines visual content and a soundtrack. Neither can stand in as proof for the other, so their coverage is reported separately.
Source declarations and sampled frame signals help investigate generation. They do not verify a person’s identity or automatically identify a replaced face.
Track information and available activity checks describe the audio present. Speech activity, silence or a cut is not proof of a cloned or generated voice.
Deep Scan is not publicly available yet. An unavailable or failed check is a coverage gap, not a negative finding.
Choose the file that best preserves the moment you want to investigate. Re-exporting can change both the evidence and the meaning of its timestamps.
Screen recordings, messaging apps and repeated exports may strip credentials and soften frame patterns. Keep the source URL, caption and publication date alongside your file for your own review.
If you need a shorter excerpt, include the action before and after the moment in question. Record where it begins in the original. Cutting tightly around one frame can hide relevant context.
Removing or replacing audio changes the material under review. Preserve the version you received, even if the voice sounds suspicious. Basic audio inspection cannot settle whether a speaker is synthetic.
What frame sampling can tell you, where deepfake detection needs more coverage, and how to handle clips shared online.
Upload a supported video file and run Basic Scan. Read the source evidence, frame coverage and time segments together. During beta, uncalibrated visual signals remain Inconclusive. A trusted credential declaring AI generation may support a stronger finding. Also trace the original publisher and compare the clip with its claimed context.
No. Video analysis uses sampled moments rather than checking every frame. Very short edits and unsampled moments can be missed, and completing a scan does not mean the entire recording has been verified. Read the findings together with the reported coverage and limitations.
Basic Scan does not run a specialized face-swap detector or verify a speaker’s identity. It may find a trusted declaration of AI editing, but sampled whole-frame signals cannot rule out a replaced face. Specialized manipulation checks are reserved for Deep Scan, which is not publicly available yet.
Yes. The picture and soundtrack can have different origins. Basic Scan checks available audio-track information and activity, but does not classify synthetic or cloned speech. AI voice coverage is reported as not tested when that classifier has not run. A visual finding cannot authenticate the soundtrack.
You can submit a supported video regardless of its claimed generator. This beta does not have published, generator-specific accuracy results and cannot promise to identify a particular tool or model version. Vendor watermarks that require an unavailable official verifier are outside the scan’s coverage.
Not currently. Upload a video file from your device that you have permission to inspect. Social-platform downloads, subtitles and re-encoding can change visual signals or remove source credentials. Keep the publication URL for your own source research, and use the original file when it is available.
MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, MKV, AVI, MPEG and 3GP files up to 200 MB and two minutes are accepted. Duration, decodability, frame dimensions and other processing limits are checked after upload; a supported extension does not guarantee that its codec or contents can be processed. Longer videos and live streams are not supported. If you export a shorter clip, retain the original and record the excerpt’s start time.
It points to a sampled moment or group of moments worth reviewing. It does not establish an exact edit boundary, identify the editor or prove that everything outside the segment is genuine. Timestamps refer to the uploaded file, so an excerpt’s times will differ from those in the full recording. Uncalibrated frame scores are not measured AI probabilities.
Original uploads are retained privately for future analysis until you delete them. Reports expire after 45 minutes, independently of the originals. Keep the scan URL and this browser’s access token to use Delete uploads and report, including after expiry. Basic Scan does not require an account, and usage limits may apply.
