# Video Pipeline Customization Tutorials

> Advanced tutorials for customizing NeMo Curator video pipelines including adding custom code, models, stages, and environments

Use the tutorials in this section to learn how to customize video pipelines using NeMo Curator.

You can customize the **environments**, **code**, **models**, and **stages** used in NeMo Curator pipelines.

## Before You Start

Before you begin customizing NeMo Curator pipelines, make sure that you have:

* Reviewed the [pipeline concepts and diagrams](/about/concepts/video).
* A working NeMo Curator development environment.
* Reviewed the [container environments](/reference/infra/container-environments) reference.
