You could use a single CSV file. For the sake of this example, assume you have a `metadata.csv` file. The expected format is:  
```
<CAPTION_COLUMN>,<PATH_TO_VIDEO_COLUMN>
"""A black and white animated sequence featuring a rabbit, named Rabbity Ribfried, and an anthropomorphic goat in a musical, playful environment, showcasing their evolving interaction.""","""00000.mp4"""
"""A black and white animated sequence on a ship's deck features a bulldog character, named Bully Bulldoger, showcasing exaggerated facial expressions and body language. The character progresses from confident to focused, then to strained and distressed, displaying a range of emotions as it navigates challenges. The ship's interior remains static in the background, with minimalistic details such as a bell and open door. The character's dynamic movements and changing expressions drive the narrative, with no camera movement to distract from its evolving reactions and physical gestures.""","""00001.mp4"""
...
```  
In this case, the `--instance_data_root` should be the location where the videos are stored and `--dataset_name` should be either a path to local folder or a [`~datasets.load_dataset`] compatible dataset hosted on the Hub. Assuming you have videos of Minecraft gameplay at `https://huggingface.co/datasets/my-awesome-username/minecraft-videos`, you would have to specify `my-awesome-username/minecraft-videos`.  
When using this format, the `--caption_column` must be `<CAPTION_COLUMN>` and `--video_column` must be `<PATH_TO_VIDEO_COLUMN>`.  
You are not strictly restricted to the CSV format. Any format works as long as the `load_dataset` method supports the file format to load a basic `<PATH_TO_VIDEO_COLUMN>` and `<CAPTION_COLUMN>`. The reason for going through these dataset organization gymnastics for loading video data is because `load_dataset` does not fully support all kinds of video formats.  
> [!NOTE]
> CogVideoX works best with long and descriptive LLM-augmented prompts for video generation. We recommend pre-processing your videos by first generating a summary using a VLM and then augmenting the prompts with an LLM. To generate the above captions, we use [MiniCPM-V-26](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-V-2_6) and [Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct). A very barebones and no-frills example for this is available [here](https://gist.github.com/a-r-r-o-w/4dee20250e82f4e44690a02351324a4a). The official recommendation for augmenting prompts is [ChatGLM](https://huggingface.co/THUDM?search_models=chatglm) and a length of 50-100 words is considered good.  
>![NOTE]
> It is expected that your dataset is already pre-processed. If not, some basic pre-processing can be done by playing with the following parameters:
> `--height`, `--width`, `--fps`, `--max_num_frames`, `--skip_frames_start` and `--skip_frames_end`.
> Presently, all videos in your dataset should contain the same number of video frames when using a training batch size > 1.  
<!-- TODO: Implement frame packing in future to address above issue. -->
