Download

Unzip the video metadata

First, unzip the metadata and put it under the root directory:

unzip data_list.zip

Unit test

This step downloads a small subset of the dataset to verify the scripts are working on your computer. You can also skip this step if you want to directly download the entire dataset.

bash videos_download_and_crop.sh small

The processed clips should appear in small/cropped_clips.

Download the entire dataset

Please run

bash videos_download_and_crop.sh train

The script will automatically download the YouTube videos, split them into short clips, and then crop and trim them to include only the face regions. The final processed clips should appear in train/cropped_clips.

Evaluation

To download the evaluation set which consists of only 1080p videos, please run

bash videos_download_and_crop.sh val

The processed clips should appear in val/cropped_clips.
