  • The 2 types of MoviePrints:
  • Interval based (default)
  • for quickly selecting a couple of nice frames
  • Shot based
  • for a more accurate representation of your movie.
  • Interval based (default):
  • Frames are chosen based on a standard interval
  • The interval is only used initially. After that you are free to add and hide thumbs wherever you like and also rearrange them at will.
  • Shot based:
  • An algorithm detects the shots of the movie (simple shot segmentation through luminance/saturation mean difference)
  • The middle frame of each detected shot is grabbed
  • The number of thumbs represents the number of detected shots
  • When you create a shot based MoviePrint of a movie for the first time, the movie gets scanned. This can take some time. The speed depends both on the length and the resolution of the movie.
  • Use the cut/merge mode in the player view to manually improve the segmentation
  • Use the change thumb mode in the player view to choose a different frame for the thumb

New in MoviePrint 0.2.1 (Apr 12, 2019)

  • Added:

  • Basic smoke test

New in MoviePrint 0.1.17 Alpha (Apr 12, 2019)

  • Added:
  • Export a MoviePrint
  • File path, column count and the selected frame numbers are saved to a JSON file. This lets you restore a MoviePrint at a later time via Import MoviePrint.
  • Embed data when saving a MoviePrint (PNG only)
  • File path, column count and the selected frame numbers are embedded into the PNG file. This lets you restore a MoviePrint at a later time via Import MoviePrint. Embedding the data is activated by default. This can be changed in the settings menu.

  • Clear movie list

New in MoviePrint 0.1.16 Alpha (Apr 12, 2019)

  • Support for editing multiple MoviePrints per movie
  • Adding, duplicating and removing MoviePrints
  • Switching between grid view and timeline view
  • Replacing a movie
  • Adding and removing movies from the list
  • Expand a scene/thumb to dive further into a movie

  • Improved:
  • Handling of thumb images, which should result in a performance improvement
  • Movie list look
  • No more limitation when the settings menu is open
  • Updated npm packages
  • Changed:
  • The application state now gets stored in an sqlite3 database which supports larger sizes. Before, reopening the application could result in loss of data when the state got too large due to lots of shown thumbs for example.
  • The frame scan data gets now also stored in an sqlite3 database which should result in a performance improvement when handling long movies.
  • When adding movies a thumb version is stored which can be limited in size. See settings menu. The default is 640px in width or height. This saves space and should improve performance when handling a large amount of thumbs.
  • When MoviePrints get saved, the images are now captured life. This compensates for only capturing smaller versions in the first place. This should be equally fast.
