Run the following command to take a PNG screenshot every second from a WEBM file:
ffmpeg -i input.webm -vf "fps=1" screenshot_%04d.png
Explanation of the command:
- -i input.webm: This specifies the input WEBM file. You can replace input.webm with your own video file, whether it's in MP4, MKV, or another format.
- -vf "fps=1": This sets the frame rate to 1 frame per second. You can adjust the frame rate as needed.
- screenshot_%04d.png: This is the output file pattern. %04d ensures that the screenshots are saved with a four-digit sequence number (e.g., screenshot_0001.png, screenshot_0002.png).
