Video Thumbnail Grid (Requires QuickTime)

[CaptainSkol]

This is a great function to create flipbooks of movies, but...

Is there a way to include or add the very first frame of a movie ?

[Jesse Barnum]

Yes, there is another function called Video Thumbnail (not Video Thumbnail Grid) that lets you specify any offset to grab a poster frame from.

[CaptainSkol]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am aware of that function.

But i need one media field with a 3 by 12 grid that starts with frame 1 and ends with the last frame.

I have no clue if the code can be modified that way.

[Jesse Barnum]

OK, I understand now - so you want it to go from the first frame to the last, instead of from some offset to the last?

That change relies on compiled Java code in our QT library. I can make that change in 1.5 hours @ $155/hour = $232.50. If you'd like for me to work on that, let me know.

[CaptainSkol]

Great.

I'll talk to my customer.

This module recently stopped working on two of my Macs (10.8.5 and 10.9). I think it's related to some Java and/or QuickTime update, but perhaps someone knows for sure?

 

The error returned is:

Script:

File file = new File(pathToMovie);
if (file != null) {
	int timeUnit = Integer.parseInt(timeUnit); // convert from a String
	return QTUtils.generateThumbnail(file, timeUnit);
