For some reason more recent versions of VLC do not recognize the scene filter is enabled until you close and re-open the program. Once you are done saving frames the option needs to be turned off again or it will do the same with every video you play.
Follow steps 1 and 3 above then untick the Scene video filter box. The biggest drawback with VLC is that you have to leave the video running while taking the images, for this reason we recommend VLC for shorter clips only unless you plan to watch the video anyway. Open a Command Prompt and change the directory to where vlc. Pathtovideo is the name and path of the video file, --scene-path is the target folder for the images while --scene-ratio is the frame save interval.
An advantage over the GUI method is the ability to use --start-time and --stop-time to start and stop saving frames at specific times in seconds. Leave those switches out if you want to play the whole video. Refer to the complete list of commands at the Videolan website. VLC will run and start the playback but without the screen.
Once finished, it will automatically exit. Extract both zip archives. Run Virtualdub. If you wish to save every frame of a small video file to images, skip to step 5.
The No change option at the top will tell you how many frames per second the current video uses. Click OK. Then click OK and VirtualDub will begin to process the video. An additional option in VirtualDub is setting a specific range inside the video itself so only images between the two points are saved. Before saving at step 5, use the slider and frame controls to set the start range and press the Home key or selection start button in the red box above , move the slider to the end of the range and press the selection end button or the End key.
Now when you save the images, only the selected frames will be saved between the start and end selection points. FFMpeg is a framework for encoding, muxing, transcoding, streaming and playing video files, and is the backbone of a vast array of video converters and players. It runs only from the command line so is better suited to experienced users. FFMpeg should handle just about any video file you throw at it.
The -i is the input video file with path and the jpeg filename simply saves jpegs you can also use png, bmp, tiff etc with the name and 4 place holding numbers, e. The -r command is the frames to capture and the reverse of how you would expect it to work. More advanced usage can add a starting point in the video file with the -ss command before -i, while -t can also be used to add a duration.
Both use an [hours:]minutes:seconds argument. The above command will start at 4 minutes in, then save a. The are hundreds of commands and you really need to read the FFMpeg documentation to understand how it can be fully utilized from the command line and in scripts. Download FFMpeg. Wonderful walk through. I need to save a frame from a video every time there is a sound starting. Any ideas on a tool to do that? The videos are over giga size and could have hundreds of sound events that I would like to extract into images when they happen.
Thank you! I was getting crazy with VLC until I saw your comment about the newer versions and that we have to re-start it after step 4. Worked perfectly. Why is the best method not the first? The strange thing is that when I did this earlier, I got every frame. I have that extract saved so I could compare this.
I suspect this might have something to do with each individual system and how fast it can save frames every second. This could be why you get a different result because the system possibly just tries to save the frames it can and if some are missed, so be it.
First time I write a comment on the internet : thanks a lot for giving us all those tools and advises! What sort of troubles were you having with VLC? In my case, I used VLC just as directed, needing to close it and re-open it to get it to work. It worked on probably a dozen videos before I turned it off for 6 months. The most important part is step 4, turning on the scene filter. At least if you do that, some images should be saved using the VLC defaults.
You could always try the portable version from portableapps. Perhaps you could answer this question, what would you find more helpful. A separate little tool to sort these settings for you without opening VLC or a dedicated video on how to use the settings in VLC itself? Thank you so much. Can I exract image from video with the same properties as video like from which camera the video was taken and focal length etc.
Open the video file and bang your images will appear. The one gotcha I found was it will overwrite the save images with each new video you play. So before I play my next video I rename each image file. Option one saved me lots of work on Premier! Just set the computer working and a couple of days later I had a huge folder of images. Used an astronomy program called PIPP to stitch them all together into a movie for a client.
They loved it. You can use video-photos. No software needs to be downloaded for this. This tool is really useful, super simple and easy to use, no need to install anything and work instantly. Kudos for you.. Thanks for the quick reminder. I had forgotten how I did it years ago. VirtualDub is so simple to use and so quick. You are not quite following the steps correctly.
Where is the default folder where it starts saving the images too? For step 4, is that just hitting save in the same Scene Filters window where you enter the file type, save directory, and ratio? There will be a number of checkboxes on the right, check the Scene video filter box near the top right and press Save. Then re-open VLC and play the video. I also followed the VLC method to a tee and it did not work… It looks like its writing files somewhere because of how slow its going but when I look in the output folder…nothing.
After turning on the scene filter step 4 close VLC and reopen it before playing the video. I had to do that when testing just now or the images were not being saved. First I had to write a bit a code and extract the duration of the video.
I converted that into seconds and divided it by the number of shots I want to get my intervals. I also made a script that takes those intervals and takes the snap shot of the media at a fixed time.
The solution takes a lot longer than video to jpg converter. The information you have provided for VLC must be very, very old. The only option is to simply check the Scene Filter box. Also please be aware that Virtual Dub, which used to be very useful, is now filled with adware and malware. I had to remove it from my computer and it was hard to get rid of all the stuff they had installed without my permission. The information is up to date and I can follow the instructions with the latest VLC without any issue.
