Video Processing

​

Prerequisites

• FFmpeg installed on your system (required for video processing)
• Sufficient disk space for temporary files
• Supported video format (mp4, avi, mov, etc.)

​

Usage

transfer-learning process-video <video_path> [options]

​

File Size Management

1. Size Check: Verifies if the video size exceeds configured limits
2. Compression: If needed, compresses the video while preserving quality
   • Uses FFmpeg with H.264 codec
   • Intelligent bitrate calculation
   • Progress tracking during compression
   • Quality preservation algorithms
3. Temporary Files: Manages compressed versions in system temp directory
4. Cleanup: Automatically removes temporary files after processing

​

Options

​

Examples

transfer-learning process-video path/to/video.mp4

transfer-learning process-video path/to/video.mp4 \
  --output-dir ./my_output \
  --batch-size 50 \
  --max-size 1000 \
  --frame-interval 60

​

Output Format

output/
├── frames/          # Extracted video frames
├── metadata.json    # Video metadata including compression info
└── processing_log.txt   # Detailed processing log

​

Metadata Format

{
  "video_info": {
    "original_size": "1200MB",
    "compressed_size": "480MB",
    "compression_ratio": 2.5,
    "codec_used": "libx264",
    "duration": "10:30",
    "resolution": "1920x1080",
    "fps": 30
  },

    "frames_extracted": 150,
    "frame_interval": 30,
    "compression_applied": true,
    "processing_time": "5:30"
  }
}

​

Error Handling

• Validates video format before processing
• Checks FFmpeg availability
• Monitors compression progress
• Provides detailed error messages
• Implements fallback options for compression

​

Best Practices

1. Ensure sufficient disk space (2-3x video size)
2. Use recommended video formats (MP4 with H.264)
3. Monitor the processing log for details
4. Keep FFmpeg updated for best performance

​

Next Steps

1. Generate a guide from the processed data
2. Transcribe the audio from the video
3. Analyze the content in more detail
