Video Classification

Assign a clip-level label to a video. Same primitive as image classification with the temporal dimension folded in - the model watches the clip and emits one label for the whole thing.

Files

basic.py — single label per clip.
with_confidence.py — adds confidence in the label.

When to use

Content moderation gates on user-uploaded clips.
Pre-tagging stock footage by scene type.
Routing security camera clips by event category.

For typed event/scene extraction with timestamps, use _14_video_extraction/.

Run

bash

python cookbook/data_labeling/_13_video_classification/basic.py
python cookbook/data_labeling/_13_video_classification/with_confidence.py

Requires GOOGLE_API_KEY. Uses Gemini for native video input.

Note on the sample asset: sample_seaview.mp4 is misnamed - the clip is a short lab scene (a scientist examining a sample through a microscope), not a sea view. Expect labels like indoor or people.
