Hi,

I would like to share a script that I wrote inspired by this tutorial: http://www.ctrlpaint.com/home/2012/5/10/film-studies-capturing-stills.html

The script generates an Artbook PDF capturing stills from a video file. Very useful to study composition…

Here is a PDF generated with the script:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6YOSJrQ5WkfZWNVVHV3aDJ5TEU

The command to generate the example PDF was:

$ ./artbook.sh big_buck_bunny_720p_h264.mov “The Art Of
Big Buck Bunny”

You can download the script here: http://pastebin.com/10BFheLT

The script is for linux. Porting to Windows or MacOs must be easy.

Regards.

EDIT: Some fixes for errors with more that 10 pages. Pastebin URL updated with new version.
