Thumbnails

[Mike Matthews - Omnis]

Ah, yes there has indeed been somebody.

Oh no there isn’t!

Oh yes there is!

Sorry about that, HappyNew Year to you all, and I hope 2021 sees an upturn in optimism for us all.

The answer for producing thumbnails is to talk to Kelly B, no surprise there.  His magic utility allows you to get a lot of size data from an image, and then resize it to what ever size you want/need.  For OSX and Windows in all version of Studio from v5 upwards I think.  We use it for our document store to create thumbnails of image files.

No responders I guess suggests no one has done this...

I'd wonder what frame of a video to use for a thumbnail, probably the first one is of no use.

I've seen comments on the lines of using image magick, manually, the convert command can grab a frame and turn it into an image file.
ie use the 100th frame:

|convert input.mp4[100] thumbnail.png|


it may just farm out the command to ffmpeg or some other command...

image magick can also reduce image sizes, hence a thumbnail from an image...

hence you can build up your thumbnails, and then use them elsewhere...

Just some thoughts, in case they maybe helpful.

Anyone ever create thumbnails of pictures and videos and then place in an icon array on a Remote Form in Studio?
