I need to know the current frame number. Is that supported ?

[Dan654]

Hello,

The standard player displays the time to the nearest second. I need the frame number. Is there an option to support that ?

For example. I am looking at sports videos. I need to measure the "hang time" accurately to a fraction of a second. I stop the video at the start and finish of the ball flight. I need the frame number for each of these frames.

Thanks Dan

Thank you Mederi. Yes that extension provides the current frame.
The interface unfortunately is unworkable for my needs as too many clicks are needed everytime you want to know the frame.
Ideally the frame number would be displayed continually. ( updated automaticly as the frame number changes )

Maybe a little bit late, but you can use

Code: Select all

ffmpeg

to add the frame number to your video permanently.

Description of how to do it is here:

You could try VLC Extension Time (v3.2) https://addons.videolan.org/p/1154032/
It supports [Efps] tag that is able to calculate the frames value for you (elapsed_time * fps). You just need to manually type in a fps value there, e.g. [E23.976023]. You can compare it with the ffmpeg how accurate the VLC Extension is.
