Based on https://github.com/lanpa/tensorboardX/blob/34d1616c035faaa0f3f7c9d19cb8bb4425f19939/tensorboardX/summary.py#L355 I would guess that it is already encoded before added to the tensorboard summary.
Well if we the "video" from TB is not in mp4/gif format than someone will have to encode it.
I was just pointing that for the encoding part we might need additional package
Ohh then we can definitely support it, could you maybe post a toy example for testing? Or even better PR it to the examples/tensorboardX folder?

You mean I should have opencv/ffmpeg available on the clearml-server machine?
adding this to the ever expanding list of "nice to have" features 👍
ReassuredTiger98 I think it is using moviepy for the encoding... No?
pytorch.tensorboard is the same as tensorboardx https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/6d45d7a6c331ddb856ac34a76bcd3613aa05185b/torch/utils/tensorboard/summary.py#L461
ReassuredTiger98 do you know if tensorboard (not tensorboardX) also supports gif there ?
I guess this is the current way to do it: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/issues/39#issuecomment-568917607 so I would say: Yes, it supports gif.
ReassuredTiger98 in theory it should work, do you know what is actually stored ? (I mean reencoding it means you have to have opencv / ffmpeg which might be too much to ask)
