    SearchByVideo

    paid
    Updated Oct 2026

    SearchByVideo locates moments inside a user’s own uploaded video from a plain-language description. It builds a visual index and returns scene matches with timestamps, contextual explanations, and links to the corresponding moment in the player. The site distinguishes this workflow from reverse video search and emphasizes visual objects, actions, surroundings, and on-screen details rather than relying only on spoken transcripts. Its public demonstration uses a prepared index of three illustrative scenes, not an unrestricted live search across the web. Analyzing uploaded footage requires paid-plan credits; searches within an analyzed video cost no extra credits. The service is designed for revisiting indexed footage, with users checking matched scenes in the player for relevance.
