Introduction to Video Analysis

Sightengine's Video API is a fully automated and real-time solution for analyzing Video Content. Beyond content moderation (detecting unwanted content such as nudity, violence or hate), the very same pipeline lets you run other models on your videos, such as AI-generated video detection and deepfake detection. You simply pick the models you need, and the mechanics described here apply identically.

It works out-of-the-box with any video or stream:

• Stored videos, meaning video files such as an MP4 file you might have available somewhere
• Live videos and Video streams, meaning videos that are being consumed from a streaming resource. This could be a live video feed, a video-conferencing stream, or any other feed
