Hello

I annotated a simple video looking over top of a box with a piece of styrofoam in it. I’m modelling the styrofoam. I created a number of regions that identify the styrofoam. When I export, I choose “YOLOv8 OBB with Images”. I get a resultant zip file that has this in it.

[Folder] images  
[Folder] labels  
classes.txt  
notes.json

The images folder contains one file “8e144241-Pressure\_Line\_Upper\_Foam.mp4”  
The labels folder contains one file “8e144241-Pressure\_Line\_Upper\_Foam.txt” that is empty.

The mp4 file is just my uploaded video.

Where are all the image snapshot files and the coordinate text files that I expect for YOLO?

Thanks  
Andy

Label Studio version v1.17.0.  
pip install

Labeling Interface:

```auto
<View>
   <Labels name="videoLabels" toName="video" allowEmpty="true">
   <Label value="UpperFoam" background="#FFA39E"/></Labels>
   <!-- Please specify FPS carefully, it will be used for all project videos -->
   <Video name="video" value="$video" framerate="29.3"/>
   <VideoRectangle name="box" toName="video"/>
</View>
<!--{
 "video": "/static/samples/opossum_snow.mp4"
}-->

```

Hello,

Unfortunately, the yolo export for video is not yet supported.

Thank you! That saves me time trying to figure it out. 🙂

They should limit the app so that you cannot select any YOLO export when working with a video until that functionality works.

Yeh, you are right, it’s an UX bug.

Check this github issue:

> <https://github.com/HumanSignal/label-studio/issues/3405>
>
> \*\*Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.\*\*
> I noticed th…at I can't export labels from a video object tracking task to YOLOv5 format. I think this is because YOLOv5 exports are only possible with Rectangle Annotations.
> 
> \*\*Describe the solution you'd like\*\*
> It seems like it would be feasible to cut the video frames and interpolated rect dimensions up into the format expected by YOLOv5 and this would make the workflow pretty nice for getting a lot of labeled frames. Any plans to integrate this in the future, or perhaps this was an oversight or there's a technical limitation I'm not seeing?
> 
> \*\*Describe alternatives you've considered\*\*
> If there's a way to use label studio converter to convert object tracking JSON to YOLOv5 format, I suppose that would solve the problem as well, while being a little less convenient.
> 
> I suppose there might also be a model other than YOLOv5 I'm not aware of that can readily accept the JSON data format provided by label studio from Video Object tracking and run with it.

It has some solutions.

Excellent!

Do you know what I have to do in Label Studio before I can run the script “labelstudio\_to\_yolo.py”? Do I need to Export something first?

Thanks!

Hi! Are there any plans to include this as a feature soon?
