Ffmpeg tutorial video to photos

Ffmpeg video to photos

I’ve found that FFmpeg is incredibly useful for handling various video operations. For instance, when I need to extract images from a video I’ve recorded, FFmpeg comes in handy. Sometimes, capturing the perfect photo can be tricky. It’s much easier for me to record a scene and then extract each frame from the video. This way, I can pick the best shots for social media or any other purpose.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Install FFmpeg (if you haven’t already):
- On Windows, you can use Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows.
- Simply open a command prompt and run
choco install ffmpeg
2. Open a terminal or command prompt on your computer.

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).

For more details on installing Chocolatey, you can visit the official installation page https://chocolatey.org/install.

Using this method, I’ve found it much easier to get the perfect photo from a video. I hope you find it helpful too!
