I recommend php-ffmpeg library.
Extracting image
You can extract a frame at any timecode using the
FFMpeg\Media\Video::framemethod.This code returns a
FFMpeg\Media\Frameinstance corresponding to the second 42. You can pass anyFFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCodeas argument, see dedicated documentation below for more information.
$frame = $video->frame(FFMpeg\Coordinate\TimeCode::fromSeconds(42));
$frame->save('image.jpg');
If you want to extract multiple images from the video, you can use the following filter:
$video
->filters()
->extractMultipleFrames(FFMpeg\Filters\Video\ExtractMultipleFramesFilter::FRAMERATE_EVERY_10SEC, '/path/to/destination/folder/')
->synchronize();
$video
->save(new FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264(), '/path/to/new/file');
By default, this will save the frames as jpg images.
You are able to override this using setFrameFileType to save the frames in another format:
$frameFileType = 'jpg'; // either 'jpg', 'jpeg' or 'png'
$filter = new ExtractMultipleFramesFilter($frameRate, $destinationFolder);
$filter->setFrameFileType($frameFileType);
$video->addFilter($filter);
