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
--timefor “what is happening around here?”. - Use a
.jpgfor quick share; use.pngfor crisp UI frames.
