This application discloses a video classification method performed by a computer device. The method includes: obtaining an image frame sequence corresponding to a to-be-classified video file; obtaining an appearance information feature sequence corresponding to the image frame sequence by using an image classification network model, the appearance information feature sequence including T appearance information features; obtaining a motion information feature sequence corresponding to the appearance information feature sequence by using a motion prediction network model, the motion information feature sequence including T motion information features, and the motion prediction network model being configured to predict the motion information features corresponding to the appearance information features; and determining a video classification result of the to-be-classified video file according to the appearance information feature sequence and the motion information feature sequence. This application further provides a model training method, thereby saving computing time and resources while improving data processing efficiency.
