Hints

1. The model could handle different input lengths (no more than 243 frames). No need to explicitly specify the input length elsewhere.
2. The model uses 17 body keypoints (H36M format). If you are using other formats, please convert them before feeding to MotionBERT.
3. Please refer to model_action.py and model_mesh.py for examples of (easily) adapting MotionBERT to different downstream tasks.
4. For RGB videos, you need to extract 2D poses (inference.md), convert the keypoint format (dataset_wild.py), and then feed to MotionBERT (infer_wild.py).

In most use cases (especially with finetuning), MotionBERT-Lite gives a similar performance with lower computation overhead.
