Search for reference videos

Type your ask straight into the message box — no special format needed:

• "Find me viral coffee-shop reels from this month."
• "Show me top POV-style TikToks about home workouts."
• "Find viral hook examples for fitness reels."

Your Director searches Instagram and TikTok. Want just one of them? Just say so: "search TikTok only" or "Instagram only."

A Live search card appears in the chat and fills in as videos are found — you’ll see the first results within seconds while the rest stream in.

While the search runs, the cards are previews — you can look, but the buttons wake up when the search finishes. When it’s done, the card’s header changes to Inspiration search, and:

• Weaker matches appear faded — hover to bring one forward; they’re still worth a look.
• Each card shows the creator’s handle, follower count, how recent the video is, plus views and likes.

1. Click a result’s thumbnail to watch the original in a new tab.
2. Click Analyze on a result you like. The label changes to Analyzing…, then Analyzed — your Director has watched it and built a full breakdown, the same one described in Learn from any video.
3. Once it says Analyzed, click Insert to drop the video into your message box as a reference for your next request — or click Analyzed to read the breakdown first.

Nothing gets lost: the whole results card is also saved to the Results tab as a Video search tile, so you can come back to it any time. See Save and reuse references.

• Running a search spends half a credit (0.5).
• Analyzing one of the found videos spends 1 credit, like any video breakdown.
• Reading results, opening originals, and inserting references are free.
