Pages

Frames from every scene, with their timestamps

A 20-second clip with seven shots gave these 24 frames on one A4 page. Every cut is found, every scene gets at least two shots in its own colour, and the opening is shown second by second.

You get the frames as a ZIP and this overview as one image. Only need the overview? The video contact sheet generator makes just the sheet.

Contact sheet of a 20-second documentary clip about building the Great Pyramid: 24 frames across 7 scenes on an A4 page, each labelled with its timestamp and scene number, with cut marks on the first frame of each new scene.
Made with this tool from a 20-second ClipTalk documentary sample.
