How to use it
Count
Sets how many frames are spread across the video. Many frames produce many files and longer processing.
Maximum width
Zero keeps the original resolution. Capping width is useful for light thumbnails.
Format
PNG for graphics and text at full sharpness, JPEG for photos and smaller files.
Examples in practice
Catalogue thumbnails
Twelve frames extracted from a product video become light images for the store gallery.
Storyboard
Twenty frames spread across a clip become the basis for a new version's script.
Frequently asked questions
