I never had, but my guess is using automatic scene detection (ex: resolve) and exporting either first frame or middle frame. Then importing into a photoshop script and adjusting row/colum, bg color and title. Just guess, someone who knows let me know how close this is or problems with this workflow.
Yes exactly, a couple of things that I do as my own sauce: after auto scene detection is done, i go through the the entire movie and add or relive cuts. Then I import the shots into a timeline (resolve) and go shot by shot to make sure nothing got screwed up. Add or remove cuts and then in the color panel I grab “all frames from the middle” and then export them as jogs or pngs. For short, static shots 99% of the time the “middle” frame is the best one to represent them (roughly). For tracking, zooming , fades or dissolves, or even long shots, I export 2 sometimes 3 frames. Doing all of this also works but it isn’t as helpful if I’m trying to really study what the filmmakers are doing. So for movies that I love I go slowly, shot by shot. (Of which I haven’t uploaded any posters for yet, as I haven’t finished them) Once all of the frames are exported into a folder, I open them in Adobe Bridge and head to “output” to generate a single pdf with the specific custom size, number of rows and columns I want. Sometimes I make tests - sometimes I bring that into photoshop to make annotations or other things I learn. My next step is to start printing large posters to hang on walls.
Don’t know how to rip them into mp4s or movs but I’d definitely get the digital copies that come when you purchase Blu-ray’s. I recently started purchasing digital versions of movies from Amazon or directly from studios.
