  • This video shows how to extract frames from a video file and save the frames into high-resolution images.
    Every video is made up of a succession of still images, each individual image is called a frame. If you want to capture a frame, it's quite easy - simply pause the video and take a screenshot. However, if you want to extract a range of frames or even all frames from a video clip, capturing the images one at a time is incredibly inefficient and time-consuming. For that purpose, you need a program that can automatically capture the frames and export them in high-quality image files.
    We'll use the free and open-source VLC media player for extracting frames from a video.
    VLC Media Player: www.videolan.o...

    A helpful video, but 'high-quality' doesn't mean 'high-resolution' (the term I searched on that brought me here); 1920 x 1080 is a quality HD aspect ratio, but VLC captures frames at only 96 dpi (the 'dpi' is a better gauge of high-res); this is not high enough for artists making enlarged frame prints from their videos (or digital photos); 300 dpi is the standard gallery minimum (for hi-quality/res enlargements). I don't suppose you know how to change the true dpi value to get at least 150 dpi (what a standard printer will do)?

    • @bluedreamchicago9319
      @bluedreamchicago9319 Před 8 měsíci

      thats for printing if dpi is low then itll make print resolution bad.
      i guess paper can take 300dpi but not screens 120dpi all you can see? if your paper is bigger than the screen your dpi and resolution goes up. so higher dpi doesnt mean better resolution.

    • @bluedreamchicago9319
      @bluedreamchicago9319 Před 8 měsíci

      you can have high resolution image thats tiny 1000x1000 150 dpi that still looks good quality depends on the source good lens or digital blur

    • @mr.e695
      @mr.e695 Před 8 měsíci

      From AI - Dots per inch (DPI) is a measurement of spatial printing, video or image scanner dot density, in particular the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of 1 inch.0 It is used to measure the resolution of an image both on screen and in print.13 The higher the DPI, the more detail can be shown in an image.
      From the G-word - DPI stands for Dots per Inch, referring to the number of ink droplets a printer will produce per inch while printing an image. The more dots of ink per inch the picture has, the more detail you will see when printed.
      From Me - DPI is dots per linear inch when printing, most of my print work is 300 DPI no matter the screen resolution. Resolution in printing usually refers to dpi, but for on-screen, resolution is usually referring to 1080p, 2k, 4k, 8k etc. HD and UHD and is the pixels you can cram into a finite space, again the more the better here, because a bigger image just looks that much better when crammed into a smaller space, like an 8k img on a 1080p monitor, but the limitation there is the screen itself really. You can have an 8k image that's only 72dpi and still look the same on screen as an 8k at 300dpi, of course the 300dpi Img has a much larger file size, which is why VLC limits it to 96 dpi. SO fo print, yes you want 300 dpi or more depending on your printer. If you have your images printed, ask them what their suggested dpi is for Hi-Def photos. If you use your own printer, 300 dpi is about you'll be able to do unless you have a serious printer ... then it'll have that info in the specs.
      As far as "quality" goes, that's really a gauge of taste, at least in imaging terms, to the best of my knowledge.
      As I said earlier, in GIMP, you can set a 1920 x 1080 or 1080p resolution image at 96 dpi and change it to 300 dpi, then scale the image to any resolution you'd like ... within the constraints of the original image. You can start with a good 1080p image or a crummy 1080p image, but either way, GIMP will give you a FOSS option to enhance your image that's easily equivalent to PS nowadays. That's the best I have for ya, and the best of my knowledge. GIMP is a FOSS application, so give it a try ... all it will cost you is a little time. I hope this helps!
      Much love!!! ✌
