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

How to Use Labellerr’s Event Tagging Tool

​
Step 1: Upload Your Video

  • Upload your video file in the Labellerr platform’s video annotation section.
  • Play the video to identify key moments you want to tag.

​
Step 2: Set the Timeline Head at the Start of the Event

  • Move the video timeline slider to the exact timestamp where the event begins (e.g., a dunk, foul, or highlight).

​
Step 3: Create an Event Tag

  • Click on the event tagging button/icon.
  • Enter a descriptive name for the event — for example, “Foul on LeBron” or “Clutch 2-pointer by Goran Dragic.”

​
Step 4: Adjust Tag Duration

  • Adjust the length of the tag by dragging its edges on the timeline to cover the entire event duration.
  • The tag can also be moved along the timeline to refine its placement.

​
Step 5: Manage and Organize Tags

  • Repeat the steps to map out additional key moments in your video.
  • The collection of event tags forms a searchable, time-indexed database of important moments.
