Create tiled video thumbnail images with metadata
2022-01-19 10:29:21 +01:00
## About
I was looking for a simple tool to create video thumbnail files, like I created years ago with "Media Player Classic".

In my research I found a few tools for Windows, but only few for macOS and even less (none?) open source.

Instead I found a zsh/bash script from [@zmwangx](https://github.com/zmwangx) and the fork of [@romanwarlock](https://github.com/romanwarlock) which were looking promising.
Since I'm no expert in FFmpeg nor shell scripting I had some trouble adapting the script to my needs initially, but improved eventually.
