What is Reverse Video Search?
Reverse Image Search technology, like Tineye, Yandex, or Google reverse video search, enables you to search using a reference footage clip instead of keywords. Search by video, iStock’s reverse video search tool, looks at the content and composition of your uploaded clip and finds similar stock videos or images.
