| May 31 at 23:23 | comment | added | Ken Pino | Right, thanks a lot for the help. I'll make sure to include the OS next time to make it understandable. And I did answer what I tried. | |
| May 31 at 7:52 | comment | added | Kissaki | I was posting the two links because they are useful to solving your task. @RomeoNinov asked what you tried so far, which would help. See also the guidance on asking (good, answerable) questions. | |
| May 31 at 7:49 | comment | added | Kissaki | @KenPino The two links I commented are two parts of what you need. For the file handling I don't think it's possible with ffmpeg alone, you didn't even specify an OS or otherwise how you would want to handle files. I would use Nushell, but that's not natively available on Windows nor Linux. There are too many options available, the field is too broad, which is why I did not post an answer. It wasn't even clear whether command line would be fine for you. If it is, and you declared the OS in your question, it would at least be obvious which shells were available by default. | |
| May 30 at 8:48 | comment | added | Ken Pino | Oh, I am a bit familiar with ffmeg. I use it for very simple things such as reducing file size and generating thumbnails from videos, but that as far as I go. I figured ffmpeg would have the ability to do what I need but could not find the way. | |
| May 30 at 8:42 | comment | added | Ken Pino | @RomeoNinov Given the fact that I have zero knowledge on the matter, all I could do was research and try to find answers online as well as go over the ffmpeg documentation. I wasn't able to find what I need, hence the reason I am here. | |
| May 30 at 8:42 | comment | added | Ken Pino | Thank you @Kissaki for referring these posts to me. "add text question" is close to what I want to do but not quite, unless I missed something. They explain how to add text, but it is manually typed in the command line and I need somehow to grab each file name dynamically for each corresponding screenshot and I don't see any mention on how to achieve that. The first article you shared explains how to get a frame from a specific time only. | |
