Media are grouped into per-movie subfolders (<movie_id>/), where movie_id is the prefix of clip_id. A clip's files are therefore at <split>/video/<movie_id>/<clip_id>.mp4 and <split>/audio/<movie_id>/<clip_id>.wav.

metadata.csv

One row per movie (movie_id 0…1811, ascending). Clip-level info is recoverable from splits/{train,test}.txt and the clip_id prefix (<movie_id>_<clip_idx>_<start>_<end>).

column	description
movie_id	dense movie index, 0…1811 (matches the clip_id prefix)
split	train or test (a movie's clips never cross splits)
n_clips	number of clips from this movie
movie_title, year, genres, imdb_id, imdb_rating, num_votes, runtime_min, release_date, director, title_type, imdb_url, imdb_description	film metadata (IMDb)
youtube_id, youtube_title, youtube_url, youtube_duration, youtube_published, youtube_view_count, youtube_channel, youtube_channel_id, youtube_description, youtube_thumbnail	source YouTube video
imdb_list_position, imdb_list_created, imdb_list_modified	IMDb-list bookkeeping (provenance)
