Video analysis in the GUI#

DLC LIVE!

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

Analyzing videos with your trained model#

Step-by-step#

  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.

Generating labeled videos#

Create 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.

View the labeled video#

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

  • Use it in your results, or perform downstream analyses with it!
