How to split a video into images using ffmpeg?
gpt
You can split a video into individual images using the following ffmpeg command:

```
ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -vf fps=1/60 frame%d.jpg

```

Explanation:

-   `-i input_video.mp4` specifies the input video file. Replace "input\_video.mp4" with the actual name of your video file.
-   `-vf fps=1/60` specifies the frame rate to be 1 frame per 60 seconds. You can adjust the value to suit your needs.
-   `frame%d.jpg` specifies the pattern for the output image files. In this example, each image will be named "frame1.jpg", "frame2.jpg", and so on.

it's not working

Apologies. Assuming you got the error "Output file is empty, nothing was encoded", the correct command is as follows:

```
ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 frame%d.jpg
```

The [fps video filter](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#fps) (`-vf fps=1/60`) is not necessary in this case. It's used to omit or duplicate frames from the input file to match the target frame rate. For the use-case of exporting all frames of a video as separate images, it can be omitted to let ffmpeg infer the frame rate from the input video.

The reason for the error was a miscalculation of the "1/60". It resulted in a frame rate of 1 frame per 60 seconds, which would result in an empty output for input videos shorter than a minute.
