I used to use FFMPEG to extract Frames.
I used to use FFMPEG to extract Frames. And one of the big issues I had was no matter what arguments I put in like image quality/compression and scaled-down setting I used, the image file size would be like 2.6MB per one or even more. I generally had to extract at least 2000 frames, but ffmpeg didn't have a setting to set how many frames I needed so I usually ended up with way more. (oh and if you set it at the wrong fps on ffmpeg, at times the images turn out even worse! and Topaz can't even fix it enough) Because of that, I would at times end up using 30GB of data of images from a single short video, at 2 times it ended up getting to 60GB! Not to mention the worst of it was even though the image file size was huge there was still terrible image quality even when having it in PNG format. So after looking up alternatives, not through Google, I hated their results, I used Copilot and it led me to this amazing program. I don't need to use PNG to get better quality than ffmpeg when you set deinterlacing, high-quality engine, and autocopy all on, and it still barely takes up any space, even if I do PNG it's still much smaller than ffmpeg. This works very well! and I'm super happy to find this Thank you for making this!! Also, I love the other features you guys have in it as well so as an AI creator I recognized some of the features in this and the models used.
