Grab the knack of ffmpeg

What is ffmpeg

Have you ever thought “I want to cut out an image from a video”, “I want to extract only audio from a video”, “I want to make a video from multiple images”, “I want to convert jpeg to png”, etc.?

Example: “ffmpeg -i input.avi output.mp4” => input.avi is converted to output.mp4 and output

Cut out the image with the highest image quality

“ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -q 1 -qmin 1 %4d.jpg “
You can cut out with the highest image quality by specifying 1 with -q and -qmin.
At% 4d, it doesn’t matter if the image name is determined by the serial number of 4 digits in the number string.
The number of cutouts per second can be specified by adding an option such as -r 30.
