How to find out what AI tool made a video

Read what the creator wrote. The video description, a pinned comment, the end credits and the channel's About page are where creators name the tools they used, and nothing you can infer from the footage is as reliable. If none of them say, the honest answer is that the tool is unconfirmed. On glu.tv, every film page lists the tools its creator named, and says so when the creator named none.

Published and checked 29 October 2026. Counts and examples from glu.tv are a snapshot of that day; the linked pages are rebuilt from the live catalogue.

Check the places creators name their tools

Work through these in order. Most disclosures are in the first two.

• The description. Expand the YouTube description and look for a line such as "made with", "tools" or a list of product names, often near the bottom under the links.
• The pinned comment. Creators often pin a comment that credits the tools, music and voices.
• The credits. Some films end on a credit card that names the models or apps used.
• The channel's About page and other uploads. A making-of video, a community post or a Short on the same channel often says what the creator uses.
• The comments. Viewers ask this question under most AI films, and creators sometimes reply.

Expect more than one tool

A single film often credits several tools, because a film has several jobs: images, motion, voice and music. Breaking Into Black Holes by Neural Viz, for example, credits ElevenLabs, Nano Banana, Runway, Seedance and Suno on its glu.tv page, and Minnesota Nice credits Nano Banana, Runway, Suno and Veo. Each credit comes from the creator's own statement.

Version names matter too. Creators often write "Veo 3" or "Seedance 2.5" rather than just the brand, and glu.tv keeps the version they gave.

Use glu.tv when the film is in the catalogue

Every film on glu.tv has its own page with a "Made with" line listing the tools the creator named, each linked to a tool page that lists every other film crediting that tool. Start from the tools index if you want to go the other way, from a tool such as Runway to films made with it.

When a creator has not said, the film page says that instead of guessing. A blank is not evidence that no AI tool was used, only that nobody has said which.

What not to rely on

A film's look does not identify its tool. Several tools can produce similar footage, and creators combine them and edit afterwards. AI-detector scores are guesses, not verdicts. The wider question of whether a video is AI-generated at all has its own page: how to tell if a video is AI-generated.

If the creator never says

Ask politely in the comments, or contact the channel. If you run a channel and want your tools credited on glu.tv, use the contact page. Credits are added only from what the creator has published.
