AI Timestamp Finder
Describe any moment. Get the exact timestamp, instantly.
Vidective is an AI-powered timestamp detection tool for video. Instead of scrubbing through a long recording by hand, describe the event, action, or topic you're looking for in plain English. Vidective finds the exact timestamp of every matching moment in a YouTube video or an uploaded file, based purely on your prompt.
Prompt-based event detection
Type what you're looking for, such as a person, an action, a topic, or a line of dialogue. Vidective returns every timestamp where it occurs, along with a confidence score for each match.
Works on YouTube and uploads
Paste any YouTube link or upload a video file directly. Both paths return the same precise, clickable timestamp results.
Click a timestamp to jump there
Every result is clickable. The video player jumps straight to that exact second, so there's no manual scrubbing, ever.
Built for podcasts, lectures, VODs & more
Find when a topic came up in a podcast, when a decision was made in a meeting recording, or when a specific play happened in a gameplay VOD.
