Datasets
What's the difference between image groups, and image sequences?
What's the difference between image groups, and image sequences?
- Image groups can contain images of varying orientations and are best thought of as a collection of images.
- Image sequences can only contain images of the same orientation - which allows them to be treated the same way that videos are in which each input image constitutes a single frame of the resulting image sequence.

If I have duplicate Datasets, how can I find out which one is which?
- Navigate to Datasets on our platform from https://app.encord.com or https://app.us.encord.com.
- Re-name both datasets to make them distinguishable.
- Open up both cases in the editor, and see which one is which (e.g. which one is annotated and which is not).
How do I make sure my videos load quickly?
How do I make sure my videos load quickly?
- An annotator’s download speed from private cloud storage has to be at least 3-4 times the video bitrate.
- Make sure the videos have enough keyframes for smooth frame-by-frame navigation (roughly every 50 frames for high-resolution videos).
How do I re-encode videos?
How do I re-encode videos?
- Customers not using Files can re-encode videos on our platform when uploading the data to a Dataset.
- Customers using Files can re-encode videos in the Files section of the platform by right-clicking the video and selecting Re-encode.

What is causing the error I'm seeing in the Label Editor?
What is causing the error I'm seeing in the Label Editor?
- CORS issues - when rendering an image or video from remote storage solutions (AWS S3, GCP, Azure) it is important to set up a valid Cross-Origin Request Sharing (CORS) Policy and failure to do so will result in errors when trying to load that remote content in the Encord application.
- Connectivity issues - Check that your local connection is fast and performant. We also recommend that, when configuring your remote storage, you choose a location geographically proximate to your annotators to ensure the smoothest loading experience.
- Occasionally, you might notice an error loading from remote storage if the remote storage bucket itself is newly provisioned. This is because the cloud provider sometimes provisions in any region first (to improve provisioning speed) then moves it to the requested region afterwards. If the issue is not resolver after ~1hr, contact Encord support.
