Converter of a movie clip into collage of stop frames

Usage:

./m2c.sh <movie clip> [width height]

where

• <movie clip> is the filename of a video clip to be converted
• width (defaults to 4) is an optional parameter affecting the number of tiles along the horizontal dimension in the resulting collage
• height (defaults to 3) is an optional parameter affecting the number of tiles along the vertical dimension

The resulting collage will be saved into a file named after original clip with .jpg extension.

Configuration

The script has a number of dependencies that have to be installed ahead of time

• bash being the default shell.
• ffmpeg utility needs to be installed and its full installation path has to be set in m2c.sh script.
• awk path needs to be specified in m2c.sh script
• ImageMagick utility has to be installed and installation path to one of its binaries, i.e. montage has to be specified in m2c.sh script

Notes:

1. The paths to binary files have to be explicitly set to allow execution of the script via automation flow, e.g. in Automator Workflow on MacOS.

2. Execution time would be proportional to the video clip length
