Video Frame Extractor

Overview

This Python script extracts frames from video files at a specified frame rate (FPS) and saves them in the desired image format (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif). The script can be run interactively or with command-line parameters.

Features

  • Supports multiple video formats (.mp4, .avi, .mov, .mkv).
  • Allows users to specify the desired FPS for frame extraction.
  • Supports multiple output image formats (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif).
  • Provides an interactive prompt if no command-line arguments are given.
  • Uses tqdm for progress tracking.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed: bash pip install opencv-python tqdm

Usage

Run with Interactive Mode

Run the script using Python: bash python Video-Frame-Extractor.py The script will prompt for: - Input directory: The directory containing video files. - Output directory: The directory where extracted frames will be saved. - Desired FPS: The frame rate for extraction. - Output Image Format: Users can choose between .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif.

Run with Command-Line Parameters

Alternatively, users can provide all parameters in one command: bash python Video-Frame-Extractor.py --input_dir path/to/videos --output_dir path/to/output --fps 5 --img_format jpg

Example

  1. Assume the following directory structure before running the script: /videos ├── video1.mp4 ├── video2.avi
  2. Running the script interactively and providing the /videos directory as input and /frames as output: Enter the input directory containing videos: /videos Enter the output directory for extracted frames: /frames Enter the desired frames per second (FPS): 5 Select the output image format: 1: jpg 2: jpeg 3: png 4: tif Enter the format number: 1
  3. The extracted frames will be saved in: /frames ├── video1 │ ├── frame_0000.jpg │ ├── frame_0001.jpg ├── video2 ├── frame_0000.jpg ├── frame_0001.jpg

Code Functionality

  1. Reads video files from the input directory.
  2. Extracts frames at the specified FPS.
  3. Saves frames in the user-specified image format.
  4. Uses tqdm to display a progress bar.
  5. Handles both interactive and command-line executions.
