In addition, you can control the Scaling behavior by using the Default or Stretch to output options. The Resolution (w x h) text fields can be left empty to just use the input video resolution, or they can be set to values to match particular frame capture requirements. Tip: You need to set the Max captures to 2, because MediaConvert always captures the first frame of the video. In this example I’ll choose frame number 88. The second text field is the frame number that I want to capture as my poster frame. The first text field is the video framerate, so I enter 30 here. In this example, I’m using a video clip that is 5 minutes in duration with a framerate of 30 frames per second (FPS). The most important parameters are entered in the Framerate text field. To create frame capture, select No Container in Container dropdown box, and select Frame Capture to JPEG in Video codec dropdown box. Next click Output 1, which leads you to Output settings as shown below. Configure your Custom group name, Destination, Name modifier, and Extension for Outputs. Click Add button under Output groups in the left menu bar, select File group option and click the Select button. To create a poster frame, start by adding a new output group in your AWS Elemental MediaConvert Job settings.

Create a poster frame at a specific frame number Now let’s dive into creating a poster frame and thumbnails. A comprehensive workshop is also available on github for building simple VOD workflows. If you want to get started building a video-on-demand workflow quickly, use the Video on Demand on AWS solution. I’ll also provide some helpful tips about how to use the configuration options available with the service. In this blog post you will learn how to create a poster frame and image thumbnails from video assets using AWS Elemental MediaConvert. Have you ever wondered how to create a poster frame for a specific frame in your video clip? Or how to create a specified number of thumbnails for the video assets in an automated workflow? Wouldn’t it be great if thumbnail captures were spread out evenly within your video, so you have an easy way to promote your videos to your customers? If you develop video applications, you probably need to create poster frames (a highlight image that is representative of a video) and thumbnail images (periodic frame grabs over the duration of the entire video) as a part of your workflow.
