Use Case

Video verification for journalists

Verify viral footage before publishing. Don't amplify misinformation — investigate it.

The Problem

Newsrooms face an authenticity crisis

Viral videos spread faster than verification. AI-generated content is increasingly indistinguishable from real footage.

In the race to publish, journalists are forced to make rapid judgments about video authenticity with limited tools. Traditional methods — reverse image search, metadata inspection, source verification — are no longer sufficient against AI-generated and manipulated content.

A single false story amplified by a credible outlet can cause lasting reputational damage. Newsrooms need forensic-grade analysis that works fast enough for breaking news workflows.

The Solution

Forensic analysis for editorial workflows

Fast analysis

Upload or paste a URL and receive a comprehensive forensic report in under 60 seconds — fast enough for breaking news.

Evidence-based reports

Every verdict comes with per-module breakdowns, evidence timelines, and confidence levels. Show your editors the reasoning.

Evidence timeline

Scrub through the video and see exactly which segments triggered forensic findings. Pinpoint the suspicious frames.

Provenance verification

Check for C2PA content credentials and other origin signals that can verify where footage came from.

15 analysis dimensions

Don't rely on a single detection method. 15 independent modules examine metadata, compression, faces, audio, motion, and more.

URL support

Paste a YouTube, TikTok, or Twitter URL. ClipForensics downloads and analyzes the video without requiring manual download.
