Ask HN: FFmpeg thumbnailer front-end for X

1 pointsby notyourdayover 1 year ago
HN Brain,<p>Does anyone know of a decent ffmpeg front-end for pulling thumbnails from a video, preferably something with a picker? I googled around and was ultimately unsuccessful.<p>I have previously used mpv&#x27;s screenshot command (S) combined with seeking and per frame movements, but it does not correctly handle the video portrait orientation not to mention the interface itself is fairly clumsy.<p>Ideally I would want to see something that creates a strip a-la Pixel&#x27;s photo frame extractor where one can select a section of the video and make it extract all the frame or every N&#x27;th frame from that section.<p>I could probably spend a weekend and hack some basic monstrosity in a from of a NodeJS wrapper but that would probably be me trying to invent the wheel, making it square in the process.
