README
This is video-gallery. It's a simple bash script to facilitate the generation of those thumbnail
overviews you've probably seen before:
# Why?
I wrote it because I needed a way to preview a video's content without opening the actual video.
# Usage
Couldn't be easier:
```
$ video-gallery VIDEO_FILE
```
It will save the image as a PNG in the same directory as the video, with the same name.
Currently, it only accepts one file at a time, but that's easy to deal with using a for loop:
```
$ for vid in {video1,video2,etc}; do video-gallery "$vid"; done
```
It shouldn't be hard to customise to your liking. I've included most of the major options at the
top of the file.
# Todo
I intend to add support for many different options on the command line, including support for
providing the script with multiple videos.
# Thanks
I must acknowledge the efforts of:

- [Rupert Plumridge](http://www.prupert.co.uk/2011/04/07/a-better-ffmpeg-progress-script/)
...for the bits of their that code I used, which is noted in the script.
