Why Use a Video Finder
ChatGPT cannot search inside uploaded video files or analyze video content. This tool processes your videos and creates searchable transcripts with timestamps, so you can find any moment without rewatching hours of footage.
Upload a file or paste a URL. The service transcribes the audio, indexes the content, and lets you type a question or keyword to jump to the exact timestamp where it appears.
- Search by natural language or keywords
- Timestamped results with direct links
- 95%+ transcription accuracy across 95+ languages
- Supports MP4, AVI, MOV, and WMV
- Processing finishes in minutes
The search understands context, not just exact word matches, and works with any source, not only YouTube. It handles meetings, training videos, webinars, and lectures.
How to Search Inside Video Content
- Upload your file or paste a URL
- The AI transcribes audio and indexes visual elements
- Type a keyword, phrase, or question
- Review timestamped results and click to jump to a moment
- Export clips or share timestamped links
Search by Video Upload
Upload a short clip to locate the full source recording, match partial videos to originals in your library, or find similar moments across multiple files. Audio snippets work too, which is useful when you only have a quote and need the video it came from.

YouTube Video Finder
Paste a YouTube URL and the tool transcribes and indexes the full video, so you can search inside the content instead of just titles and descriptions. Type a keyword or phrase to jump to the moment it was spoken.
This is useful for reviewing long lectures, pulling quotes from interviews, or finding a specific topic inside a multi-hour stream. It works on videos of any length and returns exact timestamps for every match.
Who It’s For
Content creators use it to pull clips and quotes for repurposing. Business teams search meeting recordings for decisions and action items. Educators and students locate topics inside lectures. Researchers comb through interviews and focus groups. Legal professionals search depositions for specific testimony. For meetings specifically, the meeting recorder creates searchable transcripts automatically, and the AI note taker generates structured notes from the same recordings.
Videos upload over HTTPS, transcripts are stored encrypted, and nothing you upload is used to train AI models. You can delete content permanently at any time.
