Video Frame Extractor - Thumbnails, Scenes & Contact Sheet
Pricing
from $1.05 / 1,000 frame extracteds
Extract thumbnails and frames from videos: evenly spaced frames, a frame every N seconds, scene changes or keyframes, saved as WebP, JPEG or PNG with exact timestamps, plus a contact sheet per video. Reads MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI from direct file links, your key-value store or uploaded files.
frame-extracted, one per saved frame; decoding beyond 400 MP per frame and the video data read (4 MB per event from links, 16 MB from Apify storage) are counted with the same event and rounded up once per run. Failed videos and the built-in sample are not charged. Stops cleanly at the maximum cost per run; frames are charged in small batches right after they are saved, never twice after a migration.SLOW_DOWNLOAD, which suggests a key-value store or an upload instead). The time limit also ends the waits between retries; the next checked address is tried when a connection fails; IPv4-translated IPv6 addresses (::ffff:0:a.b.c.d) are refused; the same link given twice is downloaded once.OUTPUT.videos[].decodePlan says which.NOT_ENOUGH_TIME (not charged).note; interval mode says which part the frames cover. Interlaced video is deinterlaced. The log shows the expected events of each video.mode field is now source (where the videos came from); the extraction mode is settings.mode. A run where only servers failed says "No video could be used" instead of "Input problem".NOT_ENOUGH_TIME) only above twice the time left (was three times a 3x too pessimistic estimate).Content-Length nor chunks ends when the connection does, so a video cut by the time limit, a stop or the server looked whole, and the frames of the part that had arrived were charged (MP4 with its index in front, WebM, MKV, AVI). Now the time limit and a stop are seen first, and a body like that must reach the end that its own container declares, when it declares one; otherwise it fails with DOWNLOAD_FAILED and is not charged. A file that does not say, such as an AVI written to a pipe or a live MKV, and data after the last box of an MP4 or MOV, are read as before. After a silent address one more address of the host is tried, in the same attempt. Messages about a link or an upload that is not a valid URL no longer repeat that text, because it can hold a password or a token.
