This dataset contains 653 longer video clips (30 seconds each) with audio for foley sound generation tasks. FoleyBench-Long is the extended version of FoleyBench, focusing on longer video segments to better capture complex sound events.

## Dataset Description

- **Total Videos**: 653
- **Video Duration**: 30 seconds each
- **Total Size**: ~3.2 GB
- **Format**: MP4 with embedded audio
- **Resolution**: Various (mostly 640x360)

## Dataset Structure

- **foleybench-long.csv**: Metadata file with video information including captions, duration, and source metadata
- **data/train-0-of-2.parquet**: First batch of video data with embedded video content (videos 1-350)
- **data/train-1-of-2.parquet**: Second batch of video data with embedded video content (videos 351-653)

## Features

Each example in the dataset contains:
- `key`: Unique identifier for the video
- `duration`: Video duration in seconds
- `dataset`: Source dataset name
- `width`: Video width in pixels
- `height`: Video height in pixels
- `caption`: Text description of the video content
- `metadata`: JSON string with source information (YouTube ID, timestamps, etc.)
- `video_data`: Base64-encoded video content

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
import base64

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("FoleyBench/foleybench-long")

# Access video data
first_example = dataset["train"][0]
print(f"Caption: {first_example['caption']}")
print(f"Duration: {first_example['duration']} seconds")

# Decode video
video_b64 = first_example["video_data"]
video_bytes = base64.b64decode(video_b64)

# Save video to file
with open("video.mp4", "wb") as f:
    f.write(video_bytes)
```
