Video Frames (ffmpeg)
Extract a single frame from a video, or create quick thumbnails for inspection.
Quick start
First frame:
{baseDir}/scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --out /tmp/frame.jpg
At a timestamp:
{baseDir}/scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --time 00:00:10 --out /tmp/frame-10s.jpg
Notes
- Prefer
--time for “what is happening around here?”.
- Use a
.jpg for quick share; use .png for crisp UI frames.
