HOW TO DO IT? :o:

[Gunther]

Do you mean the extraction of all frames, or just a frame here and there?

If you only need a couple of frames, then I think most playback programs should have some sort of 'Snapshot' capability that you can trigger at opportune moments. If they don't, then I'm very disappointed in them and they should go to their room.

Imagemagick is also a really awesome program for doing these sorts of things. Supposedly the command is...
convert sample.mpeg[N] frame.jpg
...to extract frame number N from an mpeg file.

I mean the extration of all frames ,or , at least of a lot of frames... i suppose image magick could be a good solution

Try Xtns > Split Video into Frames > Extract Videorange

Ah...GAP, should've thought of that.

Anyway, I got off on a tangent and started playing with ffmpeg, which is a very nifty program to process and convert video and audio streams. I searched all over the net but noone gave me a decent idea of how to extract all the frames, so I came up with a dodgy command that goes something like this in bash...

Quote

ffmpeg -itsoffset -0 -i inputfile.mpg -vcodec png -vframes 1 -an -f rawvideo -s 640x480 outputfile.png

...where itsoffset is the starting point in seconds into the video (negative offset is actually forward into the video, ie: -4 is 00:00:04 into the video). So, running the command over and over making the offset progressively larger will spit out a whole group of frames into the directory where you run it. Excuse me while I go off and learn some basic bash scripting so I can automate this.

I know noone is interested in this but me, but whatever...

no way im ontreated in this and i know nothing about what you just said or the codeing
there if pm me if dont mind giving me an idea of how to do this since i know nothing
about converting all that but i would love to learn .

Coicidentally, I was figuring out how to do this. I'm going to make a tut and put in in the 'User Submitted Tuts' sec.

It's there now.

I can't understund where the output go, i mean how to set a destination folder for the output.
I choose" everything on a multilayered image" but for some reason i ended with a single flat image

i can't figure out where are all the other frames could you give me some more tips?

EDIT it seem here http://www.gimptalk....-Gap.html#58685
there are all the answer to my questions ,i'm going to try again
well i don't want convert in gif but in layers but basics must be the same

I for extract frames from video use Watermark Master

for me - the best soft! :-)

1. Add video files

2. Press F4 - select image output format, for example JPEG

3. Click on Grabber icon (left toolbar)

4. Select "Grab frames at reqular time interval"

5. Set time interval = 1 frm.

and click OK and run via press F5. All

hy welcome and thank for the info
I already solved and without need to buy commercial sw ,(message was of years ago now i don't remember exactly how i solved maybe with virtual dub that is free )

[refastrator]

I think, that can use FFMPEG for get frames from video.

But I for it use VideoCharge Studio.

It is tools no free, but have lot of function useful for me, for example:

1. You can work with any video files, and it is impotant :-)

2. You can work with some files (batch mode) and via command line

3. You can resize, crop, watermark, correct colors for created images.

4. You can select best frame from footage.



5. You can use Wizard for start!

Thanks!

Very good instruction. I download VideoCharge Studio and very happy! :-)
Very good batch mode..
