Keyframe Extraction Methods

Method 1: OpenCV Uniform Sampling

import cv2

def extract_keyframes(video_path, num_frames=10):
    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)
    total_frames = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT))
    interval = total_frames // num_frames
    keyframes = []
    for i in range(num_frames):
        cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, i * interval)
        ret, frame = cap.read()
        if ret:
            keyframes.append(frame)
    return keyframes

Method 2: Scene Change Detection

Detect scene boundaries as keyframes using frame difference.

Practical Cases

Case 1: Movie Clip → Concept Art

Input: Dune trailer clip
Extract: 10 keyframes
Style: Sci-fi concept art with dramatic lighting
Output: 10 concept art images

Case 2: Product Video → Ecommerce Assets

Input: 30-second product video
Extract: 5 best-angle keyframes
Style: Professional product photography
Output: 5 HD product images

Summary

Video keyframe + Z-Image cross-modal workflow:

1. Extract: OpenCV uniform sampling or scene detection
2. Style: Img2Img denoise controls style intensity
3. Apply: Concept design, ecommerce, social media

For content creators, this is a "one source, multiple outputs" asset expansion tool.
