Node package for generating preview sprites for videos
Install: $ npm i generate-video-sprites-node
Install python 3.9 and the install requirements.txt, runs as $ python
From project root, run $ node examples/example.js and then check the output folder
####Then:
Test on a new video: drop a new video in the videos folder
Then you can run
~ cd videos
$ ffmpeg -ss 00:00:00 -i newVideo.mp4 -to 00:00:30 -c copy newVideoTrimmed.mp4
You will need to serve the .vtt file from a path that your video player can access. Also, you will need to serve the sprite from a place that will be referenced in the vtt file.
Uses this Python library for generating the sprite from the video: https://github.com/flavioribeiro/video-thumbnail-generator
