**Metadata**: All video metadata is in a single file `metadata.json`


## Question Types

The dataset includes 8 question types testing global video understanding:

1. **Temporal**: Questions about timing and sequence across the video
2. **Causal**: Cause-effect relationships spanning multiple segments
3. **Plot**: Overall narrative arc from beginning to end
4. **Cross-modality**: Patterns emerging from visual + audio combination
5. **Emotional**: Emotional journeys across the timeline
6. **Time Order**: Sequence of major events
7. **Existence**: Recurring patterns throughout the video
8. **Scene Description**: Scene progression across segments

## Question Variants

Each video has 3 question variants:

1. **Default**: All information is correct (4 choices: A-D)
2. **Audio Misleading**: Subtle errors in sound/speech information (5 choices: A-E, correct answer is E "None of the above")
3. **Visual Misleading**: Subtle errors in visual/action information (5 choices: A-E, correct answer is E "None of the above")

## Metadata Format

The single `metadata.json` file contains all video metadata:

```json
{
  "video_id_1": {
    "video_id": "video_id_1",
    "video_duration": "120s",
    "duration": "1-2min",
    "num_segments": 12,
    "question_type": "temporal",
    "task0": {
      "variant_type": "default",
      "question": "...",
      "answer": "B",
      "candidates": ["A. ...", "B. ...", "C. ...", "D. ..."],
      "reasoning": "..."
    },
    "task1": {
      "variant_type": "audio_misleading",
      "question": "...",
      "answer": "E",
      "candidates": ["A. ...", "B. ...", "C. ...", "D. ...", "E. None of the above"],
      "reasoning": "..."
    },
    "task2": {
      "variant_type": "visual_misleading",
      "question": "...",
      "answer": "E",
      "candidates": ["A. ...", "B. ...", "C. ...", "D. ...", "E. None of the above"],
      "reasoning": "..."
    }
  },
  "video_id_2": {
    ...
  }
}
```

## Usage

```python
import json
import zipfile

# Load metadata for ALL videos
with open('metadata.json', 'r') as f:
    metadata = json.load(f)

# Extract all video zip files
for zip_file in ['videos_part001.zip', 'videos_part002.zip', ...]:
    with zipfile.ZipFile(zip_file, 'r') as zip_ref:
        zip_ref.extractall('videos/')

# Access QA data
for video_id, data in metadata.items():
    print(f"Video: {video_id}")
    print(f"Question: {data['task0']['question']}")
    print(f"Answer: {data['task0']['answer']}")

# Or access specific video
video_data = metadata['specific_video_id']
print(f"Default question: {video_data['task0']['question']}")
print(f"Audio misleading: {video_data['task1']['question']}")
print(f"Visual misleading: {video_data['task2']['question']}")
```
