### Automatic Video Captioning
|
||||
|
||||
The `scripts/caption_videos.py` script generates captions for videos (with audio) using multimodal models.
|
||||
The `scripts/caption_videos.py` script generates a single, detailed combined audio-visual
|
||||
caption per video as a continuous paragraph of prose. Two backends are available:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`qwen_omni` (default)** — Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Thinking served via a local
|
||||
[vLLM](https://docs.vllm.ai/) HTTP server (~1-3 s/video on H100). Highest quality, runs
|
||||
fully offline once the model is downloaded.
|
||||
- **`gemini_flash`** — Google Gemini (cloud, `gemini-3.5-flash`). No GPU required. Auth is
|
||||
automatic: set `GEMINI_API_KEY` (or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`) for the Developer API, or just have
|
||||
Google Cloud credentials available (`gcloud auth` / an attached service account) and it
|
||||
uses Vertex AI with no extra setup.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1 — launch the captioner server** (`qwen_omni` only, one-time).
|
||||
|
||||
`scripts/serve_captioner.py` runs vLLM in an isolated environment via `uvx`, so vLLM's heavy
|
||||
CUDA dependencies never touch the trainer's venv. It defaults to dynamic FP8 quantization
|
||||
(~31 GiB weights, fits on 40 GB GPUs, same speed as BF16 on H100):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate captions for all videos in a directory (uses Qwen2.5-Omni by default)
|
||||
uv run python scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ --output dataset.json
|
||||
# Terminal 1 - stays running
|
||||
uv run python packages/ltx-trainer/scripts/serve_captioner.py
|
||||
|
||||
# Use 8-bit quantization to reduce VRAM usage
|
||||
uv run python scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ --output dataset.json --use-8bit
|
||||
|
||||
# Use Gemini Flash API instead (requires API key)
|
||||
uv run python scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ --output dataset.json \
|
||||
--captioner-type gemini_flash --api-key YOUR_API_KEY
|
||||
|
||||
# Use Gemini Flash with parallel workers for faster throughput
|
||||
uv run python scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ --output dataset.json \
|
||||
--captioner-type gemini_flash --num-workers 5
|
||||
|
||||
# Caption without audio processing (video-only)
|
||||
uv run python scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ --output dataset.json --no-audio
|
||||
|
||||
# Force re-caption all files
|
||||
uv run python scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ --output dataset.json --override
|
||||
# Useful variants:
|
||||
# --print-cmd show the vLLM command without running it
|
||||
# --quantization bf16 use BF16 instead (needs ~66 GiB free VRAM)
|
||||
# --hf-home /mnt/disk override where the ~65 GB model is downloaded
|
||||
```

|
||||
**Key features:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Audio-visual captioning**: Processes both video and audio content, including speech transcription
|
||||
- **Multiple backends**:
|
||||
- `qwen_omni` (default): Local Qwen2.5-Omni model - processes video + audio locally
|
||||
- `gemini_flash`: Google Gemini Flash API - cloud-based, requires API key
|
||||
- **Parallel captioning** (Gemini Flash only): Use `--num-workers` to run multiple API calls concurrently for faster throughput on large datasets
|
||||
- **Structured output**: Captions include visual description, speech transcription, sounds, and on-screen text
|
||||
- **Memory optimization**: 8-bit quantization option for limited VRAM
|
||||
- **Incremental processing**: Skips already-captioned files by default; progress is saved every 5 videos
|
||||
- **Multiple output formats**: JSON, JSONL, CSV, or TXT
|
||||
|
||||
**Caption format:**
|
||||
|
||||
The captioner produces structured captions with four sections:
|
||||
- `[VISUAL]`: Detailed description of visual content
|
||||
- `[SPEECH]`: Word-for-word transcription of spoken content
|
||||
- `[SOUNDS]`: Description of music, ambient sounds, sound effects
|
||||
- `[TEXT]`: Any on-screen text visible in the video
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallel captioning with Gemini Flash:**
|
||||
|
||||
When using `--captioner-type gemini_flash`, you can speed up large dataset captioning by running multiple API calls at the same time using `--num-workers` (accepts 1–10, default is 1):
|
||||
**Step 2 — caption your videos.**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
|
||||
# Terminal 2 - default backend talks to the server above
|
||||
uv run python packages/ltx-trainer/scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ --output dataset.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Caption a large dataset with 5 workers running concurrently
|
||||
uv run python scripts/caption_videos.py videos_dir/ \
|
||||
--output dataset.json \
|
||||
--captioner-type gemini_flash \
|
||||
--num-workers 5
|
||||
# Remote server: --vllm-url http://other-host:8001/v1
|
||||
# Gemini (gemini-3.5-flash): --captioner-type gemini_flash (uses GEMINI_API_KEY, else gcloud/Vertex)
|
||||
# Gemini, parallel calls: --captioner-type gemini_flash --num-workers 5
|
||||
# Re-caption everything: --override
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> `--num-workers` is only supported with `gemini_flash`. Using it with `qwen_omni` or any other local model will raise an error, because local GPU models are not thread-safe.
|
||||
Captioning is incremental (already-captioned files are skipped, progress saves every 5 videos)
|
||||
and writes JSON, JSONL, CSV, or TXT based on the output extension.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
> Keep `--num-workers` between 3–5 for most use cases. Very high values (8–10) may hit Gemini API rate limits depending on your quota tier.
|
||||
Qwen3-Omni-Thinking can optionally emit a `<think>...</think>` chain-of-thought before the
|
||||
caption (`--enable-thinking`). It is off by default, which is recommended for bulk captioning
|
||||
(thinking is slower as it generates the reasoning trace first).
|
||||
|
||||
**Environment variables (for Gemini Flash):**
|
||||
|
||||
Set one of these to use Gemini Flash without passing `--api-key`:
|
||||
- `GOOGLE_API_KEY`
|
||||
- `GEMINI_API_KEY`
|
||||
For Gemini, keep `--num-workers` at 3-5 (higher values may hit API rate limits).
