Software that can make vid caps of entire movie? I want to make caps of entire movies. VLC Player will make caps one at a time but not the whole movie. Anyone know of software that will cap out every frame of an entire move? Roberto | |

I don't know the specific software, but it must exist. Because many of the porn sites are now posting good to excellent screen cap galleries that are much improved over the screen cap galleries from years ago. I assume you still need a good video to work from, but the sceen caps give a clear, focused image, and most of the individual photos can be very good quality. I've wondered what the software is for converting the video to a photoset, in several of my site reviews, because some of the screen cap galleries are worth collecting. But the screen cap galleries are not of every frame of a movie, because that would mean hundreds or more individual photos. So I assume that there is an option to choose how often the movie is sampled to create the screen caps. | |

If I'm understanding what you want then VLC will do it. Pretty good description of process here: http://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/10/tuto...shots-video-vlc.html Note that you choose your options in the expansion menu (arrow under tools/preferences/all/video/filters and save) and then enable the creation of thumbnails using those settings by clicking (not expanding) the video/filters option. A bunch of empty boxes will appear on the right side. Check "scene video filter" and save, and the next time you play a video you'll get the thumbs. Be sure to have it pointed at the folder you want, btw. You're going to get lots of images. | |

I used the VLC software to make a screencap gallery from a video. The gallery was created. This was my first attempt at using this process. I followed the instructions at http://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/10/tuto...shots-video-vlc.html I used the default settings for VLC, because I have no idea what are the best settings. Problems: Even though the screencaps are created: -It's difficult to use a software program to play a slide show. The slideshow keeps stopping. -The screencaps created are not crisp, clear images, even though the video I used to create them was OK to good quality. So I need to play around with the VLC software, to see if I can create a usable slide show, that plays smoothly, and gives nice, crisp images. The screen cap images are PNG files, that range in size from 150KB to 325KB, so the file size should not be a problem in playing them in a slide show, and the quality of the images, based on file size, should be OK to good. And I am not getting OK to good quality on the screen caps. But it's true that you get a lot of screen cap photos, from a video. Even at the default setting. | |

Note: I have a lot of old Playboy photos from the Playboy Playmates. I forget what the series are called. These files are not screen caps, but photos made from the original Playboy photo shoots back in the 1970s, 1980s, etc. The file sizes range from about 30 KB to 190 KB, on average. The photos are nice and crisp. These file sizes are about the same file sizes you get from a low-res photo gallery from MetArt (MetArt is one of the premier softcore photo sites on the internet). So the file size is not the reason for the VLC screencaps to lose the clarity/sharpness of the video I was working from. And both the Playboy photos I have, and the MetArt galleries, play smoothly in slide shows on my PC software, unlike the screen caps I made with VLC. Edited on Oct 07, 2016, 01:09pm | |

Creating a gallery using VLC: I changed the default file type from PNG to JPG. Used Windows Photo Viewer program to create a slide show. The screen caps created by VLC play more smoothly than the PNG files did. But you definitely get a degraded image from the screencaps you create with VLC from the visual clarity of the original video file (which was a 720 MOV file with good to excellent clarity). So the VLC program will create free screen cap galleries, of inferior quality (image-wise). And the slide show using the screen cap gallery it creates is much slower than usual. Conclusion: Unless you can make screen caps from the VLC program that have sharper clarity and work better in a slide show, VLC is a poor choice for making screen caps. The main things VLC has going for it: -The program is free. -It's easy to use to create low-quality screen caps. There are much better programs out there for making screen caps from a video, as evidenced by the screen cap galleries at some of the porn pay sites. Note: the Windows Photos program (that comes with Windows 10) will play the slide show from the VLC screencaps faster and more smoothly than the Windows Photo Viewer program (that comes with Windows 10). But you still get images that are degraded from the clarity of the original video file. Edited on Oct 08, 2016, 05:26am | |

ffmpeg might be another option if someone were looking for a 1:1 near-flipbook solution. I think there is a quality selection in that, too. Maybe convert to mjpeg and then find an automated system to pull each individual frame? Perhaps some of these options might work, too: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-free-tool...ls-from-video-files/ EDIT: irfanview has been my go-to photo viewer for years, and is always one of the first things I load on a new PC. | |

I used irfanview for many years until I got a new laptop and didn't download irfanview, because I think the Win 10 Windows Photos program does a pretty good job. But maybe I will download irfanview, to see if it's better than Windows Photos program. Will also try out FFmpeg. I remember when I was a child, I bought some flipbooks. Of comics? Don't really remember what they were about. But they were kinda cool. | |

Duplicate post. PC hung up, then posted the same message twice. | |

ffmpeg You will need to learn the command line. But it is essentially the same on Windows, Mac or Linux. ffmpeg -i INPUTFILENAME OUTPUTFRAME_%06d.png is all you need. The INPUTFILENAME bit you replace with the filename, and the likewise the OUPUTFRAME bit. The %06d bit ffmpeg turns into the frame number, the 0 tells it to zero-pad numbers, and 6 indicates the number of digits to use (so 1 becomes 000001, 124 becomes 000124, and so on), which preserves dictionary ordering of the filenames. If your file is 30fps then there are 108000 frames per hour, which is why the %06d is a sensible default choice here. For example, with a file from Naughty America, ffmpeg -i nrglaylajmac_4k.mp4 -t 1 fr%04d.png will output all frames from the first 1 second (the -t 1 bit) as .png images (so as not to lossy compress yet again). ffmpeg -ss 120 -i nrglaylajmac_4k.mp4 -t 1 fr%04d.png will do the same, but from 120 seconds in (approx). Note that 1 second of 4k came out as 345MB of .png files. So 1h of 4k frames is roughly 1.3TB, so basically you want to extract clips rather than all frames at once. I use ffmpeg a lot for doing stuff like this with porn downloads. | |

There is free software that extracts individual screencaps (VLC, as explained above -problem is, it only extracts the clip as long as it is being played). More usually, software creates a sheet with the screencaps, watermarking each with its time along the clip, so you get a single image file where you can see all that happens in the clip, and the exacy moment when it happens. "Image Grabber II NET" can do both. It's slow, though. "Thumbnail Me" is fast. "Scene Grabber NET" is another option. Many others... Then there is "Auto Movie Thumbnailer", only for the brave. Very configurable, but complex. You can find all those, and all the best free software for videoediting, with helpful comments, and a helpful forum, at Videohelp Another helpful forum would be Doom9 | |

ffmpeg. You want ffmpeg. Provided you have the hard drive space, if you want to capture between, say, 3min15 and 8m18 of MyPornMovie.mp4, use ffmpeg -i MyPornMovie.mp4 -ss 195 -t 303 cap%05d.png or ffmpeg -i MyPornMovie.mp4 -ss 3:15 -to 8:18 cap%04d.png You will then have every frame as a .png file. Warning: this takes a lot of space! The -ss 195 means start 195 seconds in. The -t 303 means capture 303 seconds worth (else it will go to the end of the movie). To convert and entire movie, use ffmpeg -i MyPornMovie.mp4 cap%07d.png The cap%05d.png or cap%07d.png results in files with names like cap00001.png, or cap0000001.png respectively. The % thing comes from the standard UNIX printf function, the %05d bit means take an integer, format it in denary (base 10) 5 digits and leading 0's, so 15 is 00015 and 734 is 00734. (This names the files so that dictionary order is the same as frame number order.) In short, though, ffmpeg is what you want. | |
