Save frames/ images of a video

Question

Hello,

I need to save pictures/frames from a video. The idea is to create a preview of the film before it starts.

The problem is I’m not being able to implement the examples I found.

First example take a screenshot of the component with Javafx, it works but the video has to be playing.

Code:

...
    // 
    private void saveAsPng(Node n) {
        WritableImage image = n.snapshot(new SnapshotParameters(), null);
        // TODO: probably use a file chooser here
        File file = new File("D:\\movie12.png");

        try {
            ImageIO.write(SwingFXUtils.fromFXImage(image, null), "png", file);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Não foi possível capturar imagem do video");
        }
    }
...

2º Making use of the Javacv or Xuggler Librarias seems to be possible but neither with one nor with the other.

Javacv

import com.googlecode.javacv.FFmpegFrameGrabber;
import com.googlecode.javacv.cpp.opencv_core.IplImage;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class ZzzzzzzSaveImgFromVideo{
    public static void main(String []args) throws IOException, Exception
    {
        FFmpegFrameGrabber frameGrabber = new FFmpegFrameGrabber("D:\\Movie..................mp4");
        frameGrabber.start();
        IplImage i;
        try {

            i = frameGrabber.grab();
            BufferedImage  bi = i.getBufferedImage();
            ImageIO.write(bi,"png", new File("D:/Img.png"));
            frameGrabber.stop();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


    }
}

I’m not wearing Maven:

Libraries added to the project: javacpp javacv

issues:

• Does anyone know which libraries are needed to put the it works the javaCV?
• It is necessary to have already installed on Opencv PC or has nothing to do?
• Some more practical code for what I intend to do?

Example using Xuggle to generate video images and resize them by passing their path and the interval of seconds between frames:

public static final double SECONDS_BETWEEN_FRAMES = 1;
private static final int IMG_WIDTH = 300;
private static final int IMG_HEIGHT = 225;

String fileName = "video_path";

IMediaReader mediaReader = null;
mediaReader = ToolFactory.makeReader(fileName);
mediaReader.setBufferedImageTypeToGenerate(BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
mediaReader.addListener(new ImageSnapListener());
while (mediaReader.readPacket() == null)
   do {} while(false);



/**

 */
private  class ImageSnapListener extends MediaListenerAdapter{
    @Override
    public void onVideoPicture(IVideoPictureEvent event) {
            String outputFilename = dumpImageToFile(event.getImage());
        }
    }
    private String dumpImageToFile(BufferedImage image) {
        try {


            String outputFilename =  "PATH_AND_NAME" + ".png";
            ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File(outputFilename));

            //Redimensiona a imagem 
            BufferedImage originalImage = ImageIO.read(new File(outputFilename));
            int type = originalImage.getType() == 0? BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB : originalImage.getType();

            BufferedImage resizeImagePng = resizeImage(originalImage, type);
            ImageIO.write(resizeImagePng, "png", new File(outputFilename));

            return outputFilename;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
}

private static BufferedImage resizeImage(BufferedImage originalImage, int type){
    BufferedImage resizedImage = new BufferedImage(IMG_WIDTH, IMG_HEIGHT, type);
    Graphics2D g = resizedImage.createGraphics();
    g.drawImage(originalImage, 0, 0, IMG_WIDTH, IMG_HEIGHT, null);
    g.dispose();
    return resizedImage;
 }
