Convert Video into an Image Sequence

ffmpeg to the rescue again!!

How to convert a video into a sequence of images? Just type, with your custom parameters:

ffmpeg -i <input_video> -r <images_per_sec> %05d.png
  • <input_video> is, of course, your input video file.
  • <images_per_sec> is the image extraction rate from the video. (Sampling rate from the video, you might say). e.g. 1 would get one image per second.
  • %05d.png means "the image filenames should be five digits long, start at 00001, and have the .png extension (and format).
