ClipScout is an AI-powered video discovery tool that helps content creators find relevant B-roll footage. Users paste a video script, and the Service uses artificial intelligence to identify visual moments and search for matching video clips across third-party platforms including YouTube, Pexels, and Pixabay.
ClipScout is a discovery and preview tool only. It does not download, host, store, redistribute, or provide direct access to any video files. All video content displayed within the Service remains hosted on and served by the original third-party platforms. Users are directed to the original source for any actual use of footage.

YouTube API data retrieved through ClipScout is used solely to display search results and enable preview functionality within the Service. We do not store, index, or resell YouTube API data. Data retrieved from the YouTube API is held only transiently in server memory during active requests and is not persisted to any database.
