Create "video thumbnail collection" with metadata

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. But instead a found the original zsh/bash script from @zmwangx and the fork of @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 finally.

Requirements

• FFMPEG
• Imagemagick

Sources

• Original gist
• Forked project
