Newbie looking for help with RF-DETR nano with videos on Google Colab

Hi everyone,
I don’t understand how to apply my RF-DETR nano on Google Colab to videos. I’d like to process a video file directly in my Colab notebook, but I’m hitting my limits there.
I’ve already tried to solve this by running it locally on my PC using Docker and Roboflow Inference, but my setup is unfortunately too weak for that.
Could someone please help me with a simple guide or a code example on how to perform inference on a video file directly within Google Colab? I’m still a complete beginner.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @giorgio!
Welcome to the Roboflow community!

We have some great blog posts on running video inference with interactive notebooks that you can walk through. Here is our Blog on Detecting NBA 3 Second Violations with AI which includes a Colab Notebook you can walk through to learn the mechanics.

Ultimately, since you are new to CV, I suggest using Cursor instead of Colab to implement your RF-DETR nano for video inference. It is a great resource to help guide you through your first implementation.
