<s>[INST] How to split a video into images using ffmpeg? [/INST] You can split a video into individual images using the following ffmpeg command:

```
ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -vf fps=1/60 frame%d.jpg

```

Explanation:

-   `-i input_video.mp4` specifies the input video file. Replace "input\_video.mp4" with the actual name of your video file.
-   `-vf fps=1/60` specifies the frame rate to be 1 frame per 60 seconds. You can adjust the value to suit your needs.
-   `frame%d.jpg` specifies the pattern for the output image files. In this example, each image will be named "frame1.jpg", "frame2.jpg", and so on. </s><s>[INST] it's not working [/INST] Apologies. Assuming you got the error "Output file is empty, nothing was encoded", the correct command is as follows:

```
ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 frame%d.jpg
```

The [fps video filter](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#fps) (`-vf fps=1/60`) is not necessary in this case. It's used to omit or duplicate frames from the input file to match the target frame rate. For the use-case of exporting all frames of a video as separate images, it can be omitted to let ffmpeg infer the frame rate from the input video.

The reason for the error was a miscalculation of the "1/60". It resulted in a frame rate of 1 frame per 60 seconds, which would result in an empty output for input videos shorter than a minute. </s>
