  • -d/--directory - a modifier for all video_annotator config command options that specifies the directory where all annotator JSON config files are located (if missing the default is mephisto/generators/video_annotator/data directory)
  • -c/--copy-config-files - a modifier for all form_composer config command options that allows to copy all data files from specified in --directory to the generator's data directory. It can be useful, when you have a bunch of different data directories
  • -v/--verify - if truthy, validates all JSON configs currently present in the annotator builder config directory
  • -p/--permutate-sepatate-tokens - if truthy, generates token sets values as all possible combinations of values of individual tokens
  • -f/--update-file-location-values S3_FOLDER_URL - generates token values based on file names found within the specified S3 folder (see a separate section about this mode of running VideoAnnotator)
  • -e/--extrapolate-token-sets - if truthy, generates Task data config based on provided annotator config and token sets values
  • -u/--use-presigned-urls - a modifier for --update-file-location-values command that converts S3 URLs into short-lived rtemporary ones (for more detailes see "Presigned URLs" section)
