# -r  set framerat.   1 = 1 frame per second. 
# and then set the output file with the number replacement

# add -t MM:SS to reduce how much of the video you want to connvert
ffmpeg -t 00:05 -i input.mov -r 15 output_%04d.png

# reduce the file size of the pngs b

Thanks for this! I need to rotoscope (basically trace a video for an animation) a video of myself for an animation class and the software I have to use requires you to import one frame at a time (it's bad software, I wouldn't use it if I didn't have to)

Thanks so much. Same reason as above!
