A cool feature would be the ability to make thumbnails/screenshots in transcoding jobs.
With fluent-ffmpeg it's easy as calling the "screenshots" function on the fluent-ffmpeg command, more info in the docs
Suggested input format for configuring screenshots in a transcode job:
{
// the usual transcode job data
"screenshots": [
{
"timestamps": [30.5, "50%", "01:10.123"],
"size": "?x1080" // any input that is good for fluent-ffmpeg, it can be found in the docs
},
{
"timestamps": ["50%"]
// No size means the same size as the input video
},
//other way like with fluent-ffmpeg
{
// Will take screens at 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the video
"count": 4,
"size": "1280x720"
}
]
}This example would generate 8 screenshots with different sizes taken at different times in the video.
Some things to consider:
- It needs a different fluentFfmpeg call because ffmpeg can't make screenshots and videos together while transcoding as far as I understand
- For varying screenshot sizes multiple calls are likely needed
- It won't work with input streams (I don't know if it's a problem, don't think so if the original input is downloaded anyway)
