[SOLVED] How to take screenshots of a video at certain intervals?
by lucmove from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6EHY9)
I want to take screenshots of a video at certain intervals. The best I could find is this:
https://www.vlchelp.com/automated-screenshots-interval/
It uses VLC and it seems it does the job.
However, I don't want to play the video. I want to extract screenshots programatically. I have a 15-hour video and I want to extract screenshots, say, at every five minutes in a single pass so it'll hopefully take seconds, not hours.
Can that be done? I can't even find the word "screenshot" in man ffmpeg.
