Video Frames To Layers

Hi guys,

I'm working on a timelapse video project for the company I work for.

The cameras we used didn't have a timelapse function on them, so I recorded video at 1080p/60fps for the duration of the project.

I've got 6TB of video files and I need to condense this down to maybe 5/10 minutes of video footage.

Using the video frames to layer method is working for me - I'm taking every 240th frame out of the video, but i'm having to do this to each 20 minute long video file at the moment.

Is there a way to automate this?

Can i load all the video files into one folder in sequential order and then automate the process?

Probably faster to use ffmpeg and a batch file or script (OS depending) to loop through every file in a folder.

See https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Create%20a%20thumbnail%20image%20every%20X%20seconds%20of%20the%20video
