How is the hydrolysis of amides done in a lab? I have seen this video about the hydrolysis of amides in order to convert them to a carboxylic acid. I understood how it works but I want to know how would someone physically do it in a lab. 

I need to know the temperature needed, the time required for the reaction to happen, the reactants ratio and the process itself.
The answer, as with so much chemistry, is it depends. What substrate are you hydrolysing, is it a primary, secondary or tertiary amide? What else is in the molecule that you want to preserve? 

Both acid and base hydrolysis require concentrated conditions and elevated temperature. There is a lab procedure here that uses sodium hydroxide in water at reflux to hydrolyse benzamide to benzoic acid. The standard cleavage of an acetamide protecting group to give amine plus acetic acid is overnight reflux in 2N HCl or KOH in MeOH at reflux ref here, for a benzamide protecting group it is 48h in 6N HCl or HBr in Acetic Acid  at rt. 

In my own experience a particularly resistant acetamide required 3 equivalents of KOH in refluxing ethylene glycol to hydrolyse.
