Hi, for telecine use, I have a need for a program which can, on the click of a mouse, capture a single uncompressed or lossless frame from a specified video input device and give it a sequential filename. It has to be low-latency, and able to capture a couple frames per second. Could be Windows or Linux versions.
There are some older windows utilities that do this, but they are hard to get working in Windows 10 and beyond, and don't work well with HD video sources.
Currently OBS can almost do something like this, if I create a scene with a video input device, and quickly click start/stop recording, i get an mkv with 2-3 frames. The filenames are named after the time, which is close to what I need, but not granular enough. Something like accepting a filename template or printf style pattern such as "mycap_%09d.tiff" would be ideal.
It would seem a simple addition to add something like a new "Capture Frame" button that could behave this way. It has to have a button in the GUI because I have a device that is basically a mouse that issues clicks controlled by an external film projector device.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be of interest to me... thanks!
