Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI video detection including SORA and Veo 3

ℹ️ General Questions

What is AI video detection?

AI video detection is the process of identifying synthetic or AI-generated video content created using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques. This includes detecting videos generated by tools like OpenAI's SORA, Google Veo 3, deepfakes, face-swapped content, and other forms of synthetic media.

AI-generated videos we can detect include:

  • SORA-generated videos - OpenAI's text-to-video AI model that creates realistic videos from text prompts
  • Veo 3-generated videos - Google DeepMind's text-to-video AI model with synchronized audio
  • Deepfakes - Face-swapped videos and manipulated content using deep learning
  • Synthetic media - Entirely AI-generated scenes, people, and environments
  • Face reenactment - Videos where facial expressions and movements are manipulated
  • Audio-driven synthesis - Videos where AI makes people appear to say things they never said
  • GAN-generated content - Videos created using Generative Adversarial Networks

As AI video generation tools like SORA and Veo 3 become more accessible, detecting AI-generated content has become crucial for verifying video authenticity.

How does AI video detection work?

Our AI video detection system uses advanced machine learning to analyze videos for signs of AI generation, including SORA-generated content, Veo 3 videos, deepfakes, and other synthetic media:

  • Frame Analysis: We extract 16 frames from your video and analyze each one for AI-generated artifacts
  • Deep Learning: An EfficientNet-B0 neural network trained on SORA, Veo 3, deepfake, and synthetic video datasets examines visual features
  • Temporal Attention: We check for temporal inconsistencies typical of AI-generated videos, including SORA and Veo 3 content
  • Pattern Recognition: The AI looks for generation artifacts from SORA, Veo 3, GANs, diffusion models, and deepfake techniques
  • Confidence Scoring: You receive a probability score (0-100%) indicating likelihood of AI generation or manipulation

Our system is specifically trained to detect modern AI video generators like SORA and Veo 3, while also maintaining high accuracy on traditional deepfake detection.

  • Up to 5-10 minutes of HD video
  • Up to 20-30 minutes of standard definition video

If you need to analyze larger files, consider compressing them first or contact us for enterprise solutions.

🎯 Accuracy & Reliability

How accurate is your AI video detector?

Our AI video detection model achieves 94%+ accuracy on benchmark datasets including FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF, DFDC, and synthetic video datasets containing SORA and Veo 3 style AI-generated content.

Accuracy varies by AI generation and manipulation type:

  • SORA & Veo 3 Generated Videos: 95% accuracy on text-to-video AI content
  • GAN-Generated Content: 97% accuracy on synthetic media
  • Face Swap Deepfakes: 96% accuracy
  • Face Reenactment: 93% accuracy
  • Audio-Driven Synthesis: 91% accuracy
  • Diffusion Model Videos: 94% accuracy

Important: No AI video detection system is 100% accurate. Results should be interpreted as probability scores, not absolute truth. As AI video generation technology like SORA and Veo 3 continues to evolve, we continuously update our models.

Can AI video detectors be fooled?

Yes, AI video detection systems can be challenged by:

  • Very high-quality AI-generated videos from advanced models like SORA and Veo 3
  • Novel AI video generation techniques not seen in training data
  • Hybrid content mixing real footage with AI-generated elements
  • Videos intentionally crafted to evade detection
  • Post-processing that removes or hides AI generation artifacts
  • Emerging AI video generators using new architectures

This is why we provide probability scores rather than binary "AI-generated/real" labels. We continuously update our models to stay ahead of new AI video generation techniques, including the latest versions of SORA, Veo 3, and other synthetic media tools.

What if I get an "Uncertain" result?

An "Uncertain" result (typically 40-60% confidence) means our AI cannot confidently classify the video as AI-generated or authentic. This can happen when:

  • The video quality is very poor or heavily compressed
  • The AI-generated content (SORA, Veo 3, deepfake, etc.) is highly sophisticated
  • The video contains a mix of real and AI-generated elements
  • The content uses cutting-edge generation techniques we haven't fully trained on
  • The video is ambiguous or borderline between real and synthetic

Recommendation: For uncertain results when detecting SORA, Veo 3, or other AI-generated videos, we suggest:

  • Manually reviewing the video using our comprehensive guide
  • Checking the source, metadata, and context of the video
  • Looking for telltale signs of AI generation (unnatural motion, temporal inconsistencies, artifacts)
  • Consulting forensic experts for critical decisions
Can I use your results as legal evidence?

No. Our service is provided for informational purposes only and should not be used as sole evidence in legal proceedings.

For legal matters, you should:

  • Consult with certified forensic experts
  • Use multiple independent verification methods
  • Obtain court-admissible digital forensic analysis
  • Follow proper chain-of-custody procedures

Our results can serve as an initial screening tool but require professional verification for legal use.

🔒 Privacy & Security
