Video Analysis with DeepLabCut

After training and evaluating your model, the next step is to apply it to your videos.

How to Analyze Videos

1. Navigate to the ‘Analyze Videos’ Tab: Begin applying your trained model to video data here.

2. Select Your Video Format and Files:

• Choose Video Format: Pick the format of your video (.mp4, .avi, .mkv, or .mov).

• Select Videos: Click Select Videos to find and open your video file.

3. Start Analysis: Click Analyze. The analysis time depends on video length and resolution. Track progress in the terminal or Anaconda prompt.

Reviewing Analysis Results

• Find Results in Your Project Folder: After analysis, go to your project’s video folder.

• Analysis Files: Look also for a .metapickle, an .h5, and possibly a .csv file for detailed analysis data.

• Review the “plot-poses” subfolder: This contains visual outputs of the video analysis.

Creating a Labeled Video

1. Go to ‘Create Labeled Video’ Tab: The previously analyzed video should be selected.

2. If not already selected, choose your video.

3. Click Create Videos.

Viewing the Labeled Video

• Your labeled video will be in your video folder, named after the original video plus model details and ‘labeled’.

• Watch the video to assess the model’s labeling accuracy.
