[Computer Vision Annotation Course](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0to7Ng4PuuYQT4eXlHb_oIlq_RPeuasN): we introduce our course series designed to help you annotate data faster and better using CVAT. This course is about CVAT deployment and integrations, it includes presentations and covers the following topics:
- **Speeding up your data annotation process: introduction to CVAT and Datumaro**. What problems do CVAT and Datumaro solve, and how they can speed up your model training process. Some resources you can use to learn more about how to use them.
- **Deployment and use CVAT**. Use the app online at [app.cvat.ai](app.cvat.ai). A local deployment. A containerized local deployment with docker-compose (for regular use), and a local cluster deployment with Kubernetes (for enterprise users). A 2-minute tour of the interface, a breakdown of CVATs internals, and a demonstration of how to deploy CVAT using docker-compose.
[Product tour](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0to7Ng4Puua37NJVMIShl_pzqJTigFzg): in this course, we show how to use CVAT, and help to get familiar with CVAT functionality and interfaces. This course does not cover integrations and is dedicated solely to CVAT. It covers the following topics:
- **Pipeline**. In this video, we show how to use [app.cvat.ai](app.cvat.ai): how to sign up, upload your data, annotate it, and download it.
