The contact sheet task saves one grid image per video in the run's key-value store and lists its key and link in the OUTPUT summary, next to the video's length, frame rate, codec and resolution.
The Video Frame Extractor reads direct links to video files (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI), videos in a key-value store of your Apify account, or files you upload. Use only videos you have the right to use.
The Video Frame Extractor charges $0.0015 per saved frame. Long decoding beyond 400 megapixels per frame and the video data (1 per 64 MB from a link, 1 per 16 MB from Apify storage) count extra events. The built-in sample is free.
