Request access to BVD-V-55M
Access to the LAION-BVD subsets is handled through one central access request form: https://forms.gle/5tXPS4gmBwSGYYbV8 — submitting it once covers every gated BVD subset, so there is no need to fill in a separate form per repository. Access is restricted to academic and non-commercial research. Requests are reviewed manually and may take a few days.
Please make sure you have submitted the central access request form (https://forms.gle/5tXPS4gmBwSGYYbV8) before requesting access here. By requesting access, you confirm that you will use this dataset only for non-commercial research and comply with all license terms.

BVD-V-55M
This repository contains 55 million scene-level video clips, extracted via content-aware scene detection from a randomly sampled subset of 2.4M source videos in BVD-RAW. Each clip comes with a caption, its language, and the timestamps locating it in the source video.
The dataset is gated — see Requesting access below.
Requesting access
This dataset is gated. Access to all gated LAION-BVD subsets is granted through a single, central access request — you only need to submit it once:
➡️ LAION-BVD access request form
- Fill in the central form (institutional affiliation, intended use, license agreement).
- Click Request Access on this page using the same Hugging Face account you gave in the form.
- Requests are reviewed manually on a rolling basis; approval usually takes a few days.
Access is restricted to academic and non-commercial research use.
Relation to LAION-BVD
| Release | Description |
|---|---|
| laion/BVD-URLs | 1.3B video URLs extracted from CommonCrawl |
| laion/BVD-RAW-Index | File index of the ~80M downloaded raw videos (media by request) |
| laion/BVD-V-55M (this dataset) / -URLs | 55M scene-level video clips with captions and timestamps |
| laion/BVD-A-10M / -URLs | 10M audio clips randomly sampled from BVD-V-55M |
| laion/BVD-A-1.7M / -URLs | 1.7M audio clips from BVD-V-55M with unique source videos |
| laion/BVD-I-300M / -URLs | 300M keyframes sampled from BVD-RAW |
BVD-RAW itself (the raw pool of 80M videos totalling 10M hours) is not distributed through Hugging Face. The gated subsets and BVD-RAW are available to academic and non-commercial researchers through a single central access request form; the BVD-RAW access guide describes the raw-corpus transfer procedure.
