Question

Export video as Image Sequence (1 frame per minute - can it be done?)

I make a preview "roll-over" of videos that I create for the web, and I use .jpg image sequences for them. I've seen all the settings and I can't find a way to export as LESS than one frame per second. I want one frame of jpg per minute. 

 

Anyone know how to do this? (I tried speeding my video up in the timeline to roughly match the framerate of one frame per minute, but they were all blurry.

 

Apple's OS used to do this in quicktime, but they changed it years ago.

The quickets way that I can think to do this is via After Effects.  After importing a video into a project and adding it to a Composition, go to each minute and use Composition > Save Frame As.  On the plus side, it can be set up with keyboard shortcuts fairly quickly (not including dialog box navigatino):  Command I; Option \; Command Option S; Option Shift J, 10000, Enter; Command Option S; Option Shift J, 20000, Enter; Command Option S; and Command S as needed; repeat.

 

I miss QuickTime Player Pro classic.
