Right now this function takes a thumbnail from about halfway through the video it receives. Then we retrieve the length in seconds of our movie. It takes the path to the file we want to grab a thumbnail from. Next in our code, we create a function that will create a thumbnail for us.
Our thumbnail will output to the same folder. First, to make the sample easier to work with, we have the file we want to take a thumbnail from in the folder. Let's dig in a bit to what's going on here. exit ( 1 ) generate_thumbnail ( in_filename, out_filename ) run ( capture_stdout = True, capture_stderr = True ) ) except ffmpeg. probe ( in_filename ) time = float ( probe ) // 2 width = probe try : ( ffmpeg In_filename = "sample-mov-file.mov" out_filename = "THUMBNAIL.jpg" def generate_thumbnail ( in_filename, out_filename ) : probe = ffmpeg. If you're interested in trying it with ffmpeg-python, then here's the code: If you don't want to get into learning FFMPEG, you can also use api.video's endpoint that allows you to pick a time from the video, and have it set as the video thumbnail for you automatically. You can use ffmpeg-python to create a thumbnail and upload it for use with your video. However, if you need help, feel free to contact us in theĬommunity forum. We can't be more specific for Xcode, because there's a lot of ways your installation can differ from another one.
Follow the instructions to install and if you run into problems, there is a lot of documentation online to help you through. Fortunately, you'll be told what's missing so you can install it.
If you don't have Xcode, or the appropriate Xcode components installed, you'll have to install those.

Troubleshooting installation is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but you can post questions in the community forum and we'll help you figure it out. If not you will get an error of some type.
If it's installed, you will get back a bunch of information about your configuration. (Famous last words right?) Test that it works with this: If you've got homebrew installed, all you need to do is this: We're going to use the homebrew method, because it makes installation simple if you already have homebrew installed. Let's go over one simple way you can install FFMPEG so it starts working at the command line for you right away. If you have a Mac, there is an easy answer to this problem.hopefully. You'll see a lot of people online asking why their installation doesn't work. Sometimes an FFMPEG install can get complicated. Homebrew - installation of FFMPEG is much easier with homebrew
