// cómo funciona

Cómo funciona

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide the first concrete outcome you want from it, so you can pick the right example, template or mode instead of exploring everything at once.

  2. Get the project

    Clone the repository (or install the published package) and skim its README quick start for the requirements for your platform.

  3. Install and configure

    Run the documented install step and set any required configuration — such as provider keys, data sources or local services — before the first run.

  4. Run your first task

    Execute the smallest documented example end to end, confirm the output is what you expected, then adapt it to your real data or workflow.

// características

Por qué gusta tanto

Graph-driven knowledge indexing

Multi-modal knowledge graphs structure video understanding instead of flat frame sampling.

Extreme long-video support

Process videos up to hundreds of hours with hierarchical context encoding.

Multi-video analysis

Compare and analyse multiple videos simultaneously with cross-video semantic modelling.

Adaptive multi-modal retrieval

Text queries are aligned with visual and audio content to find specific moments precisely.

LongerVideos benchmark

A bundled benchmark of 160+ videos / 134+ hours across lectures, documentaries and entertainment.

Efficient footprint

Designed to handle very long content on a single RTX 3090 (24GB).

Ejecútalo tú mismo

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the source so you can inspect, configure and run it locally.

    git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/VideoRAG.git
    cd VideoRAG
  2. Set up the algorithm package

    Clone the repo and follow the VideoRAG-algorithm setup: conda environment, checkpoints download and dependency installation.

    git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/VideoRAG.git
    cd VideoRAG  # see VideoRAG-algorithm for conda setup and checkpoint downloads
  3. Or use the Vimo app

    Follow the Vimo-desktop instructions in the repo to run the desktop experience from source.

Preguntas frecuentes

Who maintains VideoRAG?

It is maintained by HKUDS on GitHub (HKUDS/VideoRAG), where the source, issues and releases live.

Is it free to use?

No clear licence was identified from the repo metadata or README, so check the repository's licence file before relying on it commercially.

Does it need a paid API key?

The framework is open research code; running it uses vision/LLM models as configured in its setup (local checkpoints or provider APIs), so costs depend on that choice.

How does it compare to frame-sampling video chat demos or generic multimodal RAG?

Compared with frame-sampling video chat demos or generic multimodal RAG, VideoRAG's distinguishing focus is: videoRAG — chat with your videos, even hundreds of hours of them, with graph-driven retrieval. Pick it when that focus matches your need; the alternative may suit you better if its broader or different scope is the priority.

How do I get started?

Clone https://github.com/HKUDS/VideoRAG (or install its published package), follow the README quick start to install and configure it, then run the smallest documented example — the Run section on this page mirrors those steps.
