I am
releasing an early version of video parsing utility I wrote that takes frames from a video and creates an image montage. I developed this utility to help me break down fast-moving video footage into a sequence of images that I could study in greater detail. (In my case, I use it to create image sequences of sports footage.)
At the moment, it is Linux-only, although I am considering porting it to Windows (I'll probably use WPF.)
So far, the utility has the following features:
- Select a video (browse to it)
- Preview the video
- Enter start and end times for extracting frames, along with frames per second
- Selectively delete frames (single and multi-select)
- Zoom in and out. If you zoom all the way in, you can step through frames one by one
- Output the images into a single image montage (tiled image). The width of the tiles is configurable
Here are some screenshots from
a random video:

2. Selectively deleting frames:
3. Create a montage/tiled image of the remaining frames:
4. Final output - one tiled image
