When posting a video/film, that is always better to provide a storyboard (thumbnails).

How ? Easy.

Get a nice free player called : MediaPlayerClassic

Play your video, then

and you are done

Nice, I am looking for something able to create storyboards in batches (like for all movies in folder)

- I guess that this is not possible in this player, is it?

Hi,

Not with the MPC, but you may try with another nice media player called TheKMPlayer, it has a batch mode :

Hi flowerspower,
unfortunately, this isn't a good idea. I have installed KMP, removed tons of useless addware installed with KMP :B):

, installed automatization utility, resolved missing components issue.. and found out that KMP is not only slow (and user unfriendly) but also unable to handle lot of videos I have... while e.g. VLC player has no problems with anything

(except creating storyboards

)
So I think I will try to create some script allowing to work MediaPlayerClassic with batches instead.. but I am afraid that my knowledges in this area are not good enough

I have heard about ImageGrabber II too, so I will take a look how this app works.
Thanks for the tip anyway.

Edit: I have just tried Image Grabber II and I don't think I can find anything better. It's free, small, quick (<10 seconds for 1 storyboard on my slow computer) and no problem with batches

Hello frvomac,

I agree with you, KMP comes now with a lot of craps (was not like this in the past, you may look for older versions here :
