# * The preview image is now generated next to the movie (use OUT=here $0 ... to have the original behavior)

# I know, that `awk` and `sed` parts look crazy but it has to be like this because ffmpeg can
# `-nostats` By default, `ffmpeg` prints progress information but that would be immediately caught by `grep`
# because it would contain word `frame` and therefore output of this entire command would be totally
# random. `-nostats` forces `ffmpeg` to print just the final result.
# `-i "$MOVIE"` Input file
# `-vcodec copy -f rawvideo` We don't want to do any reformating. Force `ffmpeg` to read and write the video as is.
# `-y /dev/null` Dump read video data. We just want it to count frames we don't care about the data.
# `awk ...` The line we're interested in has format might look like `frame= 42` or `frame=325`. Because of that
# extra space we can't just use `awk` to print the first column and we have to cut everything from the
# beggining of the line to the term `fps` (eg. `frame= 152`).
# `sed ...` Grab everything after `=` and ignore any spaces

# `-loglevel panic` We don’t want to see any output. You can remove this option if you’re having any problem to see what went wrong
# `-i "$MOVIE"` Input file
# `-y` Override any existing output file
# `-frames 1` Tell `ffmpeg` that output from this command is just a single image (one frame).
# `-q:v 3` Output quality where `0` is the best.
# `-vf \"select=` That's where all the magic happens. Selector function for [video filter](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/FilteringGuide).
# # `not(mod(n\,58))` Select one frame every `58` frames [see the documentation](https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Examples-34).
# # `scale=-1:120` Resize to fit `120px` height, width is adjusted automatically to keep correct aspect ration.
# # `tile=${COLS}x${ROWS}` Layout captured frames into this grid
# print enire command for debugging purposes
