The single frame capture feature found in video editing software can be useful if you need to save two or three images for your work. If you need to record each frame in a separate file, processing even a short segment of video in this way will be tedious. In this case, you should use the ability to export a sequence of images.
It is necessary
- - VirtualDub program;
- - video.
Instructions
Step 1
The ability to export a sequence of graphic files is present in many video editors and converters. In particular, it is available in the VirtualDub program. In order to use this editor to split the video into separate frames, open the clip in VirtualDub using the Open video file command of the File menu.
Step 2
Set the pointer of the current frame to the beginning of the fragment that you need in the form of separate graphic files. To do this, you can start playback with the Input playback button located in the lower area of the editor window, or move the pointer to the desired place using the mouse.
Step 3
Mark the start of the selection by clicking the Mark in button or using the Set selection start command of the Edit menu. Moving the pointer of the current frame to the end of the processed fragment, mark the end of the selection. To do this, click on the Mark out button or use the Set selection end command. If you need to decompose the entire downloaded file into frames, do not select anything.
Step 4
Use the Image sequence option located in the Export folder of the File menu to open the Image sequence export settings window. If necessary, enter a name for the file in the Filename field. The file name specified in this field will be common to all saved frames.
Step 5
Create a folder on one of the computer disks where the exported frames will be saved. By clicking the button to the right of the Directory to hold field, specify the path to this folder. In the Output format panel, select the format in which the frames will be saved. VirtualDub allows you to save a sequence of images to bmp, tga, jpeg or.
Step 6
Saving a snippet of video as a sequence of bmp or tga files will give you images with no loss in quality, but large size. When choosing.
Step 7
The process of recording frames into a sequence of images will start after clicking the OK button.
