When public media is accessible, the report can include video signals; when access is limited, upload is the most reliable path.\n\nAI video check\n\nPublic 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.\n\nOption 1\n\nBest-effort for supported public social video URLs. If public media is unavailable, upload the original video for deeper analysis.\n\nOption 2\n\nUse upload when you need the strongest available frame, motion, and timeline analysis.\n\nBy clicking **Check video link**, you confirm you have the right to submit this video link for analysis and understand results are likelihood-based, not proof.\n\nEstimated credits depend on video size and duration.

Progress is stage-based and evidence scores are only shown for signals that can be checked.\n\nCheck progress\n\nStep 0 of 6Paste a public video link or upload a video you have the right to analyze.

Then something feels off: the face moves strangely, the hands blur, the audio feels inconsistent with the clip, or the clip appears during a breaking news event with no clear source. AI Video Detector gives you a quick way to slow down.\n\nPaste a social video link first. If the link cannot be checked, you will see a clear reason and a safer next step.\n\nThe report explains suspicious signals, confidence level, and limits, so you are not left with a black-box answer.\n\nThe result helps you decide whether to pause, look for the original source, compare other uploads, or ask for human review.\n\nPrivate, deleted, restricted, or unavailable videos are not silently treated as real or fake. You get a plain explanation.\n\nSupported links\n\nPublic links are checked on a best-effort basis.

AI Video Detector supports public social link checks with platform limits and original video uploads for deeper review.\n\nTry a public social video link or upload the original video file, run the check, and review the evidence report. Link scans depend on public media access; uploads provide the strongest available review.\n\nYes, for supported public links when the video can be safely accessed. Some links return limited public-link signals only; upload the original video for deeper analysis.\n\nYes. Compression, edits, reposts, low quality, short clips, missing audio, and partial AI editing can all affect results. Treat the report as a screening aid.\n\nNo. The report does not prove a video is fake or real. It shows signals and confidence so you can decide whether more review is needed.\n\nYes, when readable audio is available. Free reports include a basic audio technical check for audio presence, duration alignment, silence, clipping, and level stability. Paid reports add bounded audio-motion timing windows. We do not use speech transcription, voice-clone detection, lip-sync verification, or semantic matching in the current lightweight scanner.\n\nSome videos have no readable audio, muted audio, restricted media access, or platform-transcoded audio that cannot be sampled reliably. When audio is unavailable, the report marks the signal as not checked and does not treat it as low risk.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ai-video-detector-check-whether-a-video-may-be-ai-generated", "canonical_source": "https://aivideodetector.video", "published_at": "2026-07-04 10:22:31+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-04 10:50:21.734118+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-tools", "computer-vision"], "entities": ["Evidence Lab for Social Video", "TikTok", "X", "Twitter", "Instagram", "YouTube"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ai-video-detector-check-whether-a-video-may-be-ai-generated", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ai-video-detector-check-whether-a-video-may-be-ai-generated.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ai-video-detector-check-whether-a-video-may-be-ai-generated.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ai-video-detector-check-whether-a-video-may-be-ai-generated.jsonld"}}
