Thumbnail Maker is an Arexx script for ArtEffect 4 from Haage & Partner.
It uses ffmpeg to generate a series of frames from a selected video, and
paste them onto a canvas to create a sequence of thumbnails. Data about
the video is printed at the top, along with a user-definable string.
I wrote this script for my own use and have decided to share it with
other users. Feel free to modify the script for your own devices.
This is version 1.04.
*New feature*:
You can optionally burn the timecode into each frame. Thanks to Mick JT
for helping me figure out the syntax of this command. Time is in the format
hh:mm:ss and will appear in the top left hand corner. You can select either
white or black text. Note that the non-altivec version of ffmpeg 6.01 has a
bug and won't work with this feature. If you have this version installed you
won't see the option to apply timecode.
I recommend updating to the latest version of ffmpeg.
*Bug fix*:
The default file extensions have been overhauled, so by default more
video file types are displayed for selection.
*Improvement*:
ffmpeg now does the scaling instead of Art Effect. This makes
assembling the final image much faster.
*Improvement*:
The script now looks for ffmpeg in appdir not c, so you can keep your
ffmpeg executable anywhere.
*Improvement*:
A few minor code polishes...
Requirements
* ArtEffect Version 4. If you have an assign "ArtEffect:" then it
remembers the last location a video is saved from and stores this
in ArtEffects Settings directory.
* FFMpeg. Tested with versions 4.0.2, 4.2.1, 6.1 and 6.1.1 for
AmigaOS 4.x. The script checks for ffmpeg in appdir and will
quit if it isn't present.
* The text printed on the canvas defaults to Verdana 18. The script
checks for this in FONTS: and quits if it isn't present. Verdana is
part of OS4 system fonts so should be present by default.
See also BUGS below.
* Depending upon the size of your video, you may require alot of RAM,
hard disk space, and CPU cycles.
* rexxsupport.library. The script checks for the presence of this and
quits if it isn't present. It should be part of the standard OS4
installation.
* MD5Sum is used to determine if the non-altivec version of ffmpeg
v 6.1 is installed. This should be part of the OS 4 standard install.
* Appdir is used to find the ffmpeg executable. This should be part
of the standard OS4 install.
As ArtEffect is 68k software, and there exists a 68k version of Ffmpeg, this
script *might* work on AmigaOS 3.x, but I have only tested it on my X5000.
The last two requirements above probably preclude the script running on
OS3.x. If you are using OS 3.x, I recommend you keep using version 1.01
and forego the timecode feature.
