Hi,

I am excited for the updates especially as I work with video and captions.

So, my question is, can I use this for captioning videos? and segmenting videos to captions? I see the audio example. But could someone point me to how I could go about using this for video captioning.

Thanks

Nik

Hi! The new `audio` and `audio_manual` UIs support both audio and video files – so whether you use audio or video just depends on the loader you use for the data. If you're using the `audio.transcribe` recipe with `--loader video`, you'll be able to load in a directory of video files: [https://prodi.gy/docs/recipes#audio-transcribe](https://prodi.gy/docs/recipes#audio-transcribe)

If you're working with longer video files, you might want to split them into smaller chunks, or even pre-select the segments that contain content you want to transcribe. You can do that in Python and then stream in tasks with a key `"video"`, mapped to the base64-encoded dat (which you can easily convert from bytes).
