I want to take a video clip, and run a config file on it to generate an output file which jumps to a point in the video and plays about a second, then jumps again and plays about a second...maybe 5 times.
Original video:
---------------------------------------------
Frames I want:
--- --- --- --- ---
I guess a starting point would be to split the movie into multiple FLV segments, and then combine the segments somehow. Or maybe there is a way to extract the frames I want as JPEGs and then turn those into an FLV?
I am using the command line to run a .vcc config file from PHP. So I can use PHP to write a .vcc for each video if I have to. I guess I will generate .vcc files with these Timelines in it and see if that works.
In PHP I roughly estimated the number of frames based on the file size, then I divided that into 6 segments and made my own timelines in XML. It works great.
