How to export video frames as images — ffmpeg fps filter

You want one JPEG per second — for analysis, previews, or building a dataset.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf fps=1 frame_%03d.jpg
# produces frame_001.jpg, frame_002.jpg … ; use fps=1/60 for one frame per minute

Good to know

Use fps=1/60 for one frame per minute instead.
