Create a lot of tasks with videos at the same time

[Dodoooh]

I have about 240 videos which I want to tag.

But to create a single task for each video is very time-consuming. I would like to upload several videos and edit them all together.

@Dodoooh , you can use command line tools to create tasks semi-automatically https://github.com/opencv/cvat/tree/develop/utils/cli. But it makes sense to support uploading multiple videos in the future for "projects" functionality.

Any progress?

I'd be happy to see this feature too :-)

I would also really like this feature given I have 1000+ different videos to label.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this besides using the cli tools?

I'd also like to be able to create one task with all of the videos in a folder. My solution was to convert all of the videos to .jpg files and put them in one folder, then upload these. You can watch them and annotate as if they were movies in cvat.

@ActiveChooN , it looks like a feature for importing a dataset which contains a lot of videos. For each video we can create a separate task.

Will this be available for cloud storage options as well ?

@zanjonke , it will. We are working on the feature right now in the repo: https://github.com/cvat-ai/cvat
