AMT is THE Batch Movie ScreenCap Creator!
[2] [1]The AMT – Auto-Movie-Thumbnailer is an automation GUI to batch create ScreenCaps, Thumbnail Index Pictures, Preview Pictures or Contact Sheets for any given number of movies. It supports many different input (AVI, MPG, Quicktime, Real-Media, Windows-Media,….) formats, in fact every input format that is supported by MPlayer.
Additionally AMT offers you a huge number of possibilities to customize the design and layout of the ScreenCaps.
AMT works by remotely controlling the MPlayer, some applications of the ImageMagick Suite and a MediaInfo plugin to perform the screenshoting and Picture creation.
Known Problems
Short movies might not have enough key-frames (depending on format) for multiple screenshots. E.g. if you want to have 20 screenshots per movie, but the movie only has 10 Key-frames, will get duplicate screenshots. That’s because the seek function of MPlayer is controlled by simple math. 20 screenshots means start at 2.5%, next shot 7.5%, 12.5%… if now too few key-frames are defined in the movie (during creation process), 7.5% and 12.5% might point to the same key-frame, if for example the movie has a key-frame at 5% and the next at 15%. MPlayer is only capable of seeking key-frames for certain formats.
