I would like to extract a single screenshot from every video file in a folder with the file name embedded in the screenshot, in Windows. Like this:
File: Coherence.mkv
Screenshot:
Result:
How can I do this for multiple files?

2What did you try so far?– Romeo NinovCommented May 30 at 5:40

1You can use ffmpeg to extract the screenshot and add a text caption - see answered ffmpeg extract screenshot question, add text question– KissakiCommented May 30 at 7:37

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.– Ken PinoCommented May 30 at 8:42

@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.– Ken PinoCommented May 30 at 8:42

1I 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.– KissakiCommented May 31 at 7:52

I found a tool that does exactly what you need: Movie Print.

2It might be very useful to include how this tool solves your problem, how to use it, and a link in your answer, rather than just a name, so the next person with the same problem can look at it and decide if this solves their problem– Journeyman Geek ♦Commented May 31 at 23:39

Please read How do I recommend software for some tips as to how you should go about recommending software. You should provide some additional information about the software itself, and how it can be used to solve the problem in the question.– DavidPostill ♦Commented Jun 11 at 16:49
