The Kinetics Human Action Video Dataset

Huge video collection of human moves — 400 actions in short clips

This work shares a big set of videos that focus on real people doing things.
The collection lists 400 actions, and for each action there are at least 400 short clips, each around 10 seconds.
Every clip comes from a different YouTube video, so the examples look varied and natural.
The clips show simple tasks like playing instruments, or social moments like handshakes, and many other human actions you see in daily life.

People use this to teach cameras and computers to spot what someone is doing, and it gives a lot of different scenes to learn from.
The team also checked whether uneven counts of examples can create bias in how machines guess actions, so they did some basic tests.
It’s meant to be a broad, practical tool for anyone curious about how machines learn to read movement, and for spotting where the data might mislead models.
It feels useful, and there still more to explore.
