# Select video
*author: Chen Zhang*
## Description
This operator select input list by simply aggregating, sorting and then filtering it.
## Code Example
For two input lists: video urls and scores, aggregate url by reduce_function, then sort aggregated scores, then select top k results.
```python
from towhee.dc2 import pipe, ops, DataCollection
p = (
pipe.input('video_urls', 'scores') \
.map(('video_urls', 'scores'), 'res', ops.video_copy_detection.select_video(top_k=2, reduce_function='mean', reverse=True)) \
.output('video_urls', 'scores', 'res')
)
DataCollection(p(['a', 'a', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'c'], [2, 8, 9.3, 5, 2, 1, 0, -1])).show()
```

)
DataCollection(p(['a', 'a', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'c'], [2, 8, 9.3, 5, 2, 1, 0, -1])).show()
