Converting a video to a sequence of images

[abrichr]

Hello,

Great project! Does it support converting a video to a sequence of images?

@abrichr Not at the moment, but we can add a feature to support it

Thanks for the quick reply. What sort of timeframe do you expect on that? Can I help? What would be involved?

Also, how much better would the performance be compared to extracting frames using HTML5Video?

Hey

So we actually have an upstream internal repository where do most of our dev works, so I can put it in as a feature to do there. I would say it should be done by the end of the week(could try to rush it a bit more)

I'd have to compare performance but It might actually be slower for smaller videos, that being said HTML5Video supports only mov,mp4,webm so this would be able to extract frames from any other video format too.

The big complication with this feature would be that so far we don't support outputting multiple files, so that would have to be added to support this. Beyond that, it would be fairly straight forward to build on top of the FFmpeg command to do this
