Video analysis for OSINT research
Forensic-grade video analysis for open-source intelligence investigations.
OSINT Workflows
Video is the hardest OSINT asset to verify
Images have reverse search. Text has archives. Video verification still requires specialized tools.
OSINT investigators routinely encounter video evidence that may have been manipulated, re-encoded, cropped, or entirely generated. Determining authenticity is critical for investigations into conflict zones, human rights violations, and information operations.
ClipForensics provides the forensic depth that OSINT workflows demand — compression chain analysis, cross-video fingerprinting, evidence timelines, and multi-dimensional manipulation detection.
OSINT Features
Tools for investigators
Cross-video fingerprinting
48-dimensional perceptual fingerprints match videos across re-encodings, crops, and platform re-compressions.
Evidence timeline
Map forensic findings to specific timestamps. Identify exactly which segments show manipulation indicators.
Compression history
Reconstruct the encoding chain. Determine which platforms and tools a video passed through.
URL analysis
Paste URLs from YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Telegram, and other platforms for direct analysis.
15 forensic modules
Comprehensive analysis across metadata, visual, temporal, and audio dimensions.
Exportable intelligence
Download complete forensic reports as JSON for integration with your investigation tools.
Investigation Workflow
How OSINT researchers use ClipForensics
Step 1 — Collect: Gather video evidence from social media, messaging apps, and web archives. Preserve original URLs and download metadata.
Step 2 — Analyze: Submit videos to ClipForensics for forensic analysis. Review the evidence timeline to identify segments of interest.
Step 3 — Cross-reference: Use fingerprinting to find related videos across platforms. Check compression history to trace the video's journey from origin to current form.
Step 4 — Document: Export forensic reports and integrate findings into your investigation dossier alongside geolocation, chronolocation, and source verification data.
