Description
🖼️ Tool Name:
Video Seal
✏️ What does this tool offer?
Invisible Watermarking: Embeds a 256-bit (or higher in 2025 versions) digital signature that is imperceptible to the human eye but easily detectable by AI scanners.
Temporal Watermark Propagation: A state-of-the-art technique that applies the watermark across the entire video timeline without needing to process every single frame individually. This makes it 10x to 100x faster than previous methods.
Resilience to Manipulation: The "seal" is designed to survive common video edits, including cropping, blurring, compression (for social media sharing), and even flipping.
Hidden Messages: Allows creators to include metadata or hidden 6-character strings to trace the specific source or version of a video.
Open Source Framework: Released under the MIT license, allowing platforms, news organizations, and developers to integrate the verification logic directly into their own apps.
⭐️ What does the tool actually offer? (User Experiences)
Trust for Journalists: Newsrooms use it to "seal" their raw footage, ensuring that if a video is later manipulated, the missing or broken seal will immediately signal a lack of authenticity.
Deepfake Combat: Social media platforms use the detection side of the tool to automatically flag or verify AI-generated content.
Creator Ownership: Independent filmmakers use it as a "digital fingerprint" to prove ownership in copyright disputes.
🤖 Does the tool have automation features?
Yes, it is built for Automated Content Protection:
Automatic Embedding: Can be integrated into video export pipelines to "seal" every video automatically upon rendering.
Real-time Detection: Automated scanners can check thousands of videos per second for the presence of a valid Video Seal.
💵 Pricing (2025 Updates)
Unlike commercial editing tools, Video Seal is an open-source project, meaning the core technology is free, though commercial implementations may vary.
🎁 Is the free version a trial or completely free?
It is completely free and open-source. As a Meta FAIR project, it is intended to be a global standard for AI transparency rather than a profit-making product.
💳 What does the free (Open Source) version offer?
Access to the full model architecture and pre-trained weights on GitHub.
Ability to embed and detect watermarks on unlimited videos.
Support for a wide range of video resolutions and formats.
💳 What do commercial "Seal" services offer?
Companies built on top of Video Seal often provide Dashboards & Analytics to track where your videos are appearing online.
Priority support and cloud-based API endpoints for high-volume processing.
