Publishers and journalists — Anyone who publishes video content to an audience — journalists, content creators, social media managers, and communications teams
The problem
Publishing a manipulated video clip to an audience is one of the most damaging editorial mistakes a publisher can make. The correction cycle is long, the reputational damage is immediate, and the clip continues circulating with your name attached to it long after you've issued a retraction.
The pre-publication verification problem is a workflow problem: there's no established, fast, systematic step between 'we have this clip' and 'we published this clip.' The options are usually either expensive (specialist forensics team) or slow (manual verification against reference footage). Neither fits the speed requirements of most publishing workflows.
The stakes are compounded by the nature of video content. A misleading headline can be updated. A misleading video clip persists — it can be screen-recorded, re-uploaded, and cited out of context indefinitely.
