PhotoModeler Premium also supports video frame extraction, which enables extraction of individual frames from a video. This can be used to extract frames into an Image Sequence (for example from a video from an unmoving camera) or used to extract frames into separate photos (for video from a moving camera). To handle a video without extraction also see Video Import.
The Video Extraction dialog shows the video and has tools for extracting individual frames or several frames at once.
The player allows you to navigate through the video using the controls or scroll bar. Press the ">" button to play/pause the video. The ">" button toggles between ">" and "||". The "|<" rewinds the video to the start, ">|" to end, "<<" backs up one frame, ">>" moves forward one frame. The current position is displayed as frame number and time code in seconds when navigating through the video.
Click the Save Frame button to store a single frame and add it to your project.
You can also extract frames based on the desired interval of frames. The Start and End edit boxes allow you to pick the start and end of the extraction in seconds (they default to 0.0 and the length of the video for a full video extraction). The ‘every’ edit box allows you to set the frame interval for extraction (1 would mean every frame). Note that this can create many photos or a long image sequence. A 300 second video at 30 fps extracted every frame would produce 9000 images. Pick the frame interval carefully. Once ready to extract, press the Extract button and you will see it advance through the video extracting the frames.
