Event/Action Tagging

Event/Action Tagging is the process of marking specific segments or moments in a video timeline that correspond to important or noteworthy events. Each tag typically includes:

• The start time of the event.
• The end time (adjustable).
• A name or label describing the event (e.g., “Goran Dragic’s clutch 2-pointer” or “Foul on LeBron”).
• Custom attributes to capture additional details and metadata (e.g., player names, game situation, or action intensity).

This transforms raw video into structured, searchable data that can be accessed instantly.

​

How to Use Labellerr’s Event/Action Tagging Tool

​

Step 1: Create a Video Annotation Project

• Create a video annotation project in Labellerr designed for event tagging.

​

Step 2: Create an Annotation Template

• Create an annotations template configured with the “event” criteria object.

​

Step 3: Select and Adjust Event on the Timeline

• While performing the video annotation, select the event annotation.
• Adjust the start frame and end frame of that specific event directly on the timeline.

​

Step 4: Locate Created Event Annotations

• Once configured, your event annotation will be displayed below the annotation bar.

​

Step 5: Repeat for Other Annotations

• Repeat the process for all other event annotations you want to tag in the video.

Event/Action Tag Attributes

Event tagging in Labellerr supports adding attributes directly to event annotations. With this capability, you can attach additional context, metadata, or specific details to any tagged event (e.g., player names, action intensity, success/failure states, or game quarters).

​

How to Add Attributes to Event/Action Tags

1. Enable Attributes in Annotation Settings: When creating your project annotation guidelines, click Edit on your annotation class and click on Add Attribute.

2. Add Attributes: Configure the various attributes that you want to associate with your annotation class.

3. Fill Attributes During Annotation: While annotating, once you select your event annotation class, an attribute filling box will appear on the screen automatically. Alternatively, you can press E on your keyboard to bring the attribute box onto the screen, and then fill in the attributes.
