Video Thumbnails Maker

	v5.0 (BIN)

Video Thumbnails Maker is a simple Linux tool to get thumbnails from any video file. The output will be an image collage of video thumbnails taken in various moments. In other words, it's very similar to the Media Player Classic “save thumbnails” feature for Windows.
It has been coded using gambas2 (gambas3 from v4) and it uses mplayer and imagemagick functions.

Installation

Install the dependencies:

gambas3-gb-form, gambas3-gb-image, gambas3-gb-image-effect, gambas3-gb-form-stock, gambas3-gb-gtk, gambas3-gb-qt4, gambas3-runtime, imagemagick, mplayer

Note: gambas3-gb-qt4 is optional, install it only if you need the QT support for KDE.

Download the package containing the binaries (BIN)
Give the execution rights to the binary file:
```
chmod +x VideoThumbnailsMaker.gambas
```
Run the binary file double-clicking on it or typing in a terminal:
```
./VideoThumbnailsMaker.gambas
```
