I Spent 6 Months Trying to See Time in Videos. Here's What Finally Worked.

Originally published on Medium . Let me start with a confession: my first attempt at building a video time prediction model was a disaster. I'd spent 3 months reading papers, collecting datasets, and training models. But when I finally deployed it, the results were laughable. I was trying to use a 3D CNN to extract features from video frames, and then feed those features into an LSTM to predict the time. It sounded good on paper, but in practice, it was a mess. The model was overfitting, underfi
