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. Some people call this a video moment finder or a moment-finding tool. It's the same thing: describe a moment, get the exact timestamp.
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.
Paste any YouTube link or upload a video file directly. Both paths return the same precise, clickable timestamp results.
Every result is clickable. The video player jumps straight to that exact second, so there's no manual scrubbing, ever.
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.
You describe the event, action, or topic you're looking for in plain English. Vidective's AI scans the full video, analyzing the transcript, audio, and visual frames, and returns the exact timestamp of every matching moment along with a confidence score.
Yes. Paste a YouTube link or upload your own video file. Both are supported, and both return precise, clickable timestamps that jump the video player straight to that moment.
Yes, it has a free tier usable without signing up, with additional daily searches unlocked by creating a free account.
Yes. A timestamp finder and a video moment finder describe the same thing here: you describe a moment, and Vidective finds exactly when it happens in the video.
No. Chapter generators create timestamps for a video's OWN description, based on its structure, meant for the person who uploaded it. Vidective does the opposite: you describe a moment, action, or topic you're looking for, and it finds exactly when that happens in a video, whether or not you uploaded it, so you can jump straight there as a viewer.
Chapters are written by the person who uploaded the video, and many videos have none. A transcript search only finds the exact words that were typed into the captions, so it misses anything that is described differently or only shown.
Vidective searches by meaning. You describe the moment the way you would to a friend, and it finds the matching moments in the speech and in the picture, whether or not you uploaded the video yourself.
Timestamped mode returns a list of the moments that match your description, each with a start and end time you can click. Summarized mode returns a written answer or overview instead. Use Timestamped when you need to know when something happens, and Summarized when you need to know what the video says.
Every result can be checked in one click, because the player jumps to that moment. Accuracy is best when your description names something distinct. It can be looser on very long videos or vague descriptions, so rephrase with a specific detail if a result looks off.
Yes. Vidective analyzes the video's frames as well as its speech, so you can search for something you can see, such as an object, a person, a slide or an action, even if nobody mentions it out loud.
On a free account, Timestamped search covers YouTube videos up to 30 minutes and uploads up to 10 minutes. Pro covers YouTube videos up to about 3 hours and uploads up to about 2 hours 40 minutes.
No. An uploaded video is deleted as soon as the analysis is finished. The privacy page explains what is and is not stored.
