# Detecting Custom Labels in videos
<a name="ex-video-extraction"></a>

The following example shows how you can use `DetectCustomLabels` with frames extracted from a video. The code has been tested with video files in *mov* and *mp4* format.

**Using `DetectCustomLabels` with captured frames**

1. If you haven't already done so, install and configure the AWS CLI and the AWS SDKs. For more information, see [Step 4: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs](su-awscli-sdk.md).

1. Make sure you have `rekognition:DetectCustomLabels` and `AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess` permissions. For more information, see [Step 4: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs](su-awscli-sdk.md).

1. Use the following example code. Change the value of `videoFile` to the name of a video file. Change the value of `projectVersionArn` to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of your Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels model.
