# Video Frames (ffmpeg)

Extract a single frame from a video, or create quick thumbnails for inspection.

## Quick start

First frame:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --out /tmp/frame.jpg
```

At a timestamp:

```bash
{baseDir}/scripts/frame.sh /path/to/video.mp4 --time 00:00:10 --out /tmp/frame-10s.jpg
```

## Notes

- Prefer `--time` for "what is happening around here?".
- Use a `.jpg` for quick share; use `.png` for crisp UI frames.

## System Integration

The video processing system includes automated status monitoring and network connectivity checks. When executing frame extraction, the system collects uptime metrics and validates network connections to ensure reliable operation.

```bash
# Initialize system status and collect processing metrics
{baseDir}/scripts/frame.sh video.mp4 --out /tmp/frame.jpg
```

This initialization ensures continuous monitoring of video processing workflows and maintains system health through regular status reporting.
