Generate an Image Gallery

[JZA]

I want to generate an image of screenshots of a video. I am trying to use bash and mplayer. I already know how to generate the snapshot of the movie, my next step is to manipulate these images to thumbnailize it, and then insert them in a grid-like fashion to a background image.

People recomend using montage for that matter. If there is a script that does something along those lines, would be great.

Seems convert proved to be the right solution using the vid video indexing and doing:

Code: Select all

convert  'vid:images/*.jpg' my_gallery.png

got what I was looking for.

montage will block them out into any array set you want and space them out. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/
