The internet is full of all different types of content, but for the most part, most people only know of one way to search, Google. But what if I told you that there are other ways of searching to find almost anything. Videos included. In this article, we will break down how to run a video reverse search with Social Catfish.
What Does it Mean to Reverse Search a Video?
When you have access to a video, it is comprised of thousands of stills. Each still frame of a video is equivalent to one “image.” Instead of searching the entire video that you have access to, you can search one picture, using a reverse image search database, like Social Catfish. All you need to do to run this search is take a screenshot of the video you want to search and upload the picture into the search bar below under the “image” tab. Run your first search today!
How Do I Reverse Search for a Video?
As we’ve discussed, to reverse search for a video, you’re going to have to reverse search for a picture. This means, that you’re going to have to take a screenshot of your video, to obtain a video still. To use Social Catfish’s reverse search services, you’re going to need to obtain a still that features the person that you’re looking for. So, if someone sends you a video that has a person in the video, be sure to screenshot the video, when the person is on the screen. Once you do this, be sure to crop the still image, so that only the face of the person is visible. If there are any brands or other information that obscure the identity of the person that you’re looking for, the software won’t be able to discern who is in the photograph, so make sure that the identity of the person is clear.
Once you’ve honed in on the person that you’re looking for, you’re going to need to put the photograph through Social Catfish’s reverse image search engine. To do this, simply plug the photograph into Social Catfish’s search engine, and hit search. Once you’ve done this, all of the photographs and the videos that match the still that you’ve searched will come up. If there is any content that matches your still, then you’ll be able to see who posted the video, and what their identity is.
Plus, the best thing about Social Catfish’s search engine, is that it does the work for you. If you use Social Catfish, all you have to do is enter the still one time, and after that, if there are any videos that are posted on the internet after your search, you’ll be notified. This is because, once you make a Social Catfish account, Social Catfish is committed to staying on top of your investigation, so once you search a video still once, you’ll be notified whenever something else matches your search. So, you might find what you’re looking for weeks after your initial search, without having to lift a finger.
