What Video Moment Finder is
Video Moment Finder lets you search a video you own using a scene description or an example image, then jump to matching timestamps. It indexes sampled frames with the Qwen3-VL vision-language model for text-to-frame and image-to-frame searches, returning thumbnails with results. Direct upload is recommended; YouTube import is available for videos you own or are authorized to use, but may not always work. The service runs on the web and through an API, with REST, CLI, and a Claude connector using a remote MCP server. The maker describes it as open source under AGPLv3. Audio and multimodal search are available, although precise dialogue recall and subtle visual distinctions may be weaker than transcript search. The pricing page says 90-minute videos, while the FAQ says 30 minutes or less.
