💖 MKTHUMBS(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for mkThumbs, from the User Manuals section, and it's literally the cutest little script for making thumbnails out of an ogg video. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mkThumbs — a script to create thumbnails from an ogg video file 🎬➡️🖼️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkThumbs file.ogv <number of thumbs> <additional options>

like, that's the whole vibe. a video, a number, and whatever extra little treats you wanna sprinkle on top 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

mkThumbs creates a series of thumbnails over a video file, and it decides where to put them based on the video length. so it's not just grabbing frame one and calling it a day — no ma'am, it spreads them out across the whole thing. main character energy tbh 👑

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

mkThumb myvideo.ogv 10

this one creates 10 thumbnails across the video file. ten little moments. ten little snapshots. iconic.

mkThumb myvideo.ogv 10 -s0x200 -opng

and this one creates 10 thumbnails across the video file with a height of 200 pixel and in PNG format. so you get ten of them, they're 200 pixels tall, and they come out as PNGs instead of whatever the default is. slay 🦋
