Hello,
I have a lot of family videos that I want to extract stills from. I use VLC to do this manually by using the following command in the terminal. But I get tired of typing in the command every time.
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC /Users/mac/Downloads/1.mp4 --video-filter=scene --scene-prefix=movie --scene-ratio=48 --scene-path=/Users/mac/Desktop/images
I was wondering if there is a way to make an automator application so that I drop my video file on the automator application icon, then it reads the filename (ex "1.mp4") and puts in the terminal command above with the appropriate filename. For example, if I dropped a video named 32.mp4 on there, it would change the "1.mp4" in the line above to "34.mp4" and put that into terminal.
I've only done basic stuff with automator. Can someone show me the way, if this is possible.
