Is it possible to create a sequence of images from a video

jbeltran

I need to create a sequence of images from a video, I know it is possible to do something similar like transformations, video to gif or video to webp. But I need to store all the images and consume them in an specific way. Will this type of transformations store the images somewhere so I can use them after Cloudinary does its magic?

Sure - you can use the start offset parameter (so in URLs) together with the extension of an image format, e.g:

https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/video/upload/so_1.0/docs/walking_talking.jpg

https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/video/upload/so_2.0/docs/walking_talking.jpg

https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/video/upload/so_3.0/docs/walking_talking.jpg

See https://cloudinary.com/documentation/video_effects_and_enhancements#video_thumbnails.

You can either continue to use them like that (the results are cached), or if you do want to store the result of these transformations as new images, then you can just upload them to your product environment (use the web address option of the upload widget, or just specify the whole URL in an upload call, depending on how you're uploading).

I hope this helps!
