# Use a Fine-Tuned Model

You can use models you have trained or uploaded to Roboflow with the video inference API.

### Use a Fine-Tuned Model with the Video Inference API

First, install the Roboflow Python package:

```bash
pip install roboflow
```

Next, create a new Python file and add the following code:

```python
from roboflow import Roboflow

rf = Roboflow(api_key="API_KEY")
project = rf.workspace().project("PROJECT_NAME")
model = project.version(MODEL_ID).models()[0]

job_id, signed_url, expire_time = model.predict_video(
    "football-video.mp4",
    fps=5,
    prediction_type="batch-video",
)

results = model.poll_until_video_results(job_id)

print(results)
```

Above, replace:

* `API_KEY`: with your Roboflow API key
* `PROJECT_NAME`: with your Roboflow project ID.
* `MODEL_ID`: with your Roboflow model ID.

*Important note: Currently Roboflow's video inference only supports models trained within Roboflow after June 30th, 2023. We are working toward including older models.*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.roboflow.com/deploy/serverless/video-inference/use-a-fine-tuned-model.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
