AMT - Auto-Movie-Thumbnailer [Updated 2022-Nov-26]

[KaFu]

Thanks for reporting, that is a unique ID I set to the default AuoIt window with AutoItWinSetTitle(), the text is the hwnd of the main GUI.

But I don't know why it shows up at all, it does not for me and it shouldn't 🙄.

Maybe you could provide a screenshot, an erroneous file to test and a copy of the "extended" log display via PM?

Best Regards

 

P.S.: AMT not being able to perform screenshots most likely means that your movie files are corrupt. Please also try the "MPlayer functionality test" at the bottom right of the "Layout" tab.

The movie played fine in MPlayer.

Running the movie, here's the log:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for reporting. The pop-up is related to the "Show Notification when finished" or "When finished - Shutdown" checkboxes.

When either is checked, my custom _msgbox function makes the default AutoIt window visible (what it shouldn't). Fixed in next version to come.

With the movie not thumbnailing, feel free to share a sample movie and I'll take a look. My guess is it's related to the movie, either it's too short with too few keyframes, or it's somehow corrupted so that MPlayer can't play it or seek in it correctly.

v13 > v14

• Fixed tray password set by default

I want to report a problem to you

Forgive me for using Google Translate, I am a non-English user, if the title of the video is very long and has a lot of words. The title of the thumbnail will not automatically wrap, and if I make the font too large, it will not wrap. I hope you can correct this mistake.
In the current epidemic situation, I wish you good health.

Edited January 9, 2023 by Jos

I want it to wrap automatically according to the width of the generated thumbnail

[KaFu]

Hi 15097840527,

I see what you mean, but I'm not yet sure what to do about it.

- Wrapping the text is one possibility, but that will lead to different heights of the pictures instead of different width
- Trimming the text is another
- Or cutting the middle of the string until the length fits again

Generally this is something that will always occur if the font is just too large and the filename just too long. The easiest option is to reduce font size or trim filename length ;).

I'll think about a checkbox to trigger one of the three options above for the next release, but nothing with a quick solution.

Best Regards
Karsten

1. I know that the software you make is mostly used to capture movie thumbnails, and the name of the movie may not be so long. But on YouTube, in order to attract more people to watch many videos, the video creator will use a very long name.
2. For the convenience of viewing thumbnails on mobile phones, I will make 1×N thumbnails, but in that case only the attributes of the files will be displayed, and the names of the files cannot be fully displayed.
3. If I make 2+×n thumbnails, basically the file name will be completely displayed, but in that case, the text in the title is very small on the mobile phone, and the thumbnails cannot be seen clearly.
4. This software Auto-Movie-Thumbnailer. In any case, the thumbnail will be generated according to the width of the file name, but if the video title is very long, the font will be very small because the title does not wrap, and the thumbnail should not be too small. Just try it and you will know.
5. In many cases, it is necessary to enlarge the characters of the video title and make the title wrap. This is indeed a very important requirement. Is your team planning to improve this requirement in the next version?

[15097840527]

Forgive me for copying an email to the author of this software (video thumbnails maker), but I hope you get my point.

[photonbuddy]

I have a suggestion.

I use the Prepare fixed amount option, and would like to be able to either set the thumbnail size for each line, or set the image width, and have AMT automagically scale the thumbnail to fit as many as it can to that width.
