Extract a thumbnail from a specific video frame

ffmpeg

Solution

To get to some specific frame you should use filter select. Command to extract frame 100 out of video should look like this:

 ffmpeg -i in_video.avi -vf "select=gte(n\,100)" -vframes 1 out_img.png

Problem

Given a specific frame I need to extract an image (a thumbnail) from a video using ffmpeg. E.g. I can do: ``` ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -ss 00:01:14.35 -vframes 1 out2.png ``` I can extract an image from a specific time (00:01:14.35), but what I need is to extract an image from a specific frame.
