(EDIT: sorted this out, thanks everyone, ffmpeg can do everything)

I'm thinking of writing a rust script to create an anki deck given a video file and a subtitle track.

One thing I'm not sure I should do, is how do I get a snapshot from a video file?

Does anyone know a good way to do this?

The script will go through all the timestamps in the provided subtitle file and take screenshots.

@sashin Potentially mpv could do this?

#ffmpeg!!

Maybe a combo of these two options?

#ffmpeg extract frames: ffmpeg -i file.mpg -r 1/1 frames%03d.png #ffmpeg trim a video ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -to 00:02:00 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4
