Video Seal

About Video Seal
Video Seal is an open-source video watermarking tool developed by Meta that embeds imperceptible yet robust watermarks into videos. It uses a novel ‘temporal watermark propagation’ technique to reduce processing time while maintaining effectiveness against various video manipulations such as compression, cropping, or frame rate changes. The tool is designed for content creators, media companies, and organizations concerned with video authenticity and ownership. By embedding watermarks that are difficult to remove or alter, Video Seal helps verify the origin of videos and combat deepfakes. It provides a practical way to track and authenticate video content in an era of increasing digital manipulation and misinformation. The tool is free to use and does not require an API key for basic operations.
