Multiple Video Thumbnails

Hello,

I need to create multiple thumbnails at different points in a video. I've looked at the FFMpeg Thumbnail step in the DAM Asset Upload workflow. It seams I can only specify a starting point but can't add a interval. Any way to do this?

Thanks

yea.. thats a good usecase. As @Scott mentioned

you can refer https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/creating-interactive-video.html and see how to get the inputs for multiple intervals and the action to be called at that interval.

For the action you can call the service to create the thumbnails as per https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/damhandler.html

Hope the combination of these two examples would help in your usecase

This is a unique use case. Creating thumbnails when an asset is uploaded is a typical way people create thumbnails for assets.

Read this community article - it talks about a DAM media handler that shows you how you can dynamically create thumbnails.

Maybe you can look at extending the video component. Take a look at this example:

This shows how to display information at specific time intervals in the video. Maybe instead of showing information (as shown in this example), the component can invoke a back-end service that creates thumbnails at specific time intervals.
