  ## AVA Atomic Visual Actions Task

  Your goal is to annotate atomic human actions in video clips from movies.

  ### Step 1: Track People
  - Draw bounding boxes around each person visible in the frame
  - Track the same person across frames with consistent IDs
  - Only annotate people who are at least partially visible

  ### Step 2: Label Actions (for each person)
  For each tracked person, select ALL actions they are performing:

  **Pose Actions:** Body position/movement
  - stand, sit, lie, walk, run, jump, dance, etc.

  **Person-Object Interactions:** Actions with objects
  - eating, drinking, using phone, driving, etc.

  **Person-Person Interactions:** Actions with other people
  - talking, hugging, fighting, shaking hands, etc.

  ### Important Notes:
  - Actions are annotated per 1-second intervals
  - One person can have MULTIPLE actions simultaneously
    (e.g., "sit" + "talk to" + "use phone")
  - Focus on the KEYFRAME (middle frame of the 1-second clip)
  - Only annotate clearly visible actions

  ### Action Definitions:
  - **Atomic**: Simple, basic actions (not complex activities)
  - **Visual**: Action must be visually apparent in the frame
  - **Current**: Action happening at this moment, not before/after
