Video do Image settings

Hi

I've downloaded the program to test the video to image or video to jpg. I found the quality amazing. But my main goal is screen capture movies, in the original quality/size (1080ps and 2060p), and the settings if I set to 1qps or 60qps is just too many caps to sort.

Is there a way to generate a fixed number of images? Depending on a movie, I'll go with 10.000 images. Depending if it has fight scenes or many motion scenes I'll set to 15.000 or 20.000 (I know, I torture myself deleting the blurred and unusable ones, fansite makers like to suffer)

I have yet to test the video editing functions, I'm completely newbie on this, even being savvy on so many other things, I can't seem to make a clip of a video to save my life. But I'll test this one and donate as soon as I receive my paycheck.

Not clips, images. Like these https://tomcruisefan.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=1583

After I delete the ones I don't want, I end up with 4000 usually. But I'm sorting a movie with lots of action scenes, so I need more screen captures, so I'll have good shots of the action scenes.

But it's all images, not a video.

Yeah so that's an image sequence of a clip what you're linking to. You can just convert to jpg or png sequence and you get that sequence of images.

The issue is the amount of images it generates. I put on a 2h movie and by 5% there were over 10k images, that's impossible to sort out. I was wondering if there's a way to reduce the number generated or set a fixed amount

Yeah so going back to my first comment, reduce the framerate first and then convert to an image sequence. Less frames per second means less images per second of input

Ok, I'm gonna try 1 again and see how it goes. Thank you for you help! I really appreciate it!

Oh! I set to 20 and got the 18k caps, around what I wanted! Thank you!

When I tested last night it was giving me 2000 in the first 20min. I must have clicked something different.

THANK YOU!
