Video2Photo

As the name suggests, Video2Photo helps you create image files from video clips. It supports plenty of file types for the input, such as AVI, ASF, MP4 and 3GP, together with JPEG and BMP for the output.

The interface of the application is based on a wizard-like layout where you can get started by specifying the video files from your computer. Alternatively, you can input video capture devices or Windows streaming media.

You can pick individual frames or consecutive ones, in a sequence, as well as apply various effects (e.g. gamma correction, RGB mix, lightness, old photo, mosaic, solarize, sinus wave, color stretch).

In the following step, you can export the project as numbered frames, an HTML web gallery, or slideshow, movie or animation.

As far as configuration settings go, you can select the file type between JPEG and BMP, adjust the JPEG compression level, use separators when naming files, set the rows, cells per rows, cell padding and spacing (in case of a web gallery), as well as adjust the frames per slide and frame rate (in clase of Shockwave Flash or Audio Video Interleave items).

The application runs on a moderate-to-high amount of CPU and system memory, has a good response time and finishes a task quickly. We have not encountered any misfortunes during our testing, since Video2Photo did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. On the other hand, Video2Photo has not been updated for a very long time; this might not please some users, especially the advanced ones.
