video-frames

The video-frames skill uses ffmpeg to extract individual frames from video files at specified timestamps or from the beginning, outputting them as image files. Use this skill when you need to generate thumbnails for quick video inspection, capture specific moments from video content, or create image previews without processing entire video files.

# Video Frames (ffmpeg)

Extract a single frame from a video, or create quick thumbnails for inspection.

## Quick start

First frame:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --out /tmp/frame.jpg
```

At a timestamp:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --time 00:00:10 --out /tmp/frame-10s.jpg
```

## Notes

- Prefer `--time` for “what is happening around here?”.
- Use a `.jpg` for quick share; use `.png` for crisp UI frames.
