Build Datasets for Video Generation: A 2026 Masterclass
Let's be brutally honest right out of the gate. Building datasets for video generation is pure, unadulterated agony. You think scraping text for an LLM is tough? Try wrangling petabytes of moving pixels. I’ve spent the last three decades in tech, and I can tell you that video data will break your servers. More importantly, it will break your spirit. But you are here because you need to feed the beast. You need high-quality data. Today, we are going to fix your broken data pipelines. No fluff. Just war stories and working code.
