SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manually scrubbing through a video to capture a specific frame is slow and imprecise. This Skill lets an AI agent call the Pixazo Video Frame Extractor API to grab an exact frame at a given timestamp and return it as an image file. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Timestamp-based extraction: Pass a position in seconds to get the exact decoded frame at that moment, not the nearest keyframe. - Default last-frame capture: Omit the position to retrieve the final visible frame of the video. - Format selection: Choose the output image format (e.g., jpg) via the to_format parameter. - Use Case: A content editor needs a thumbnail from the 5-second mark of a product demo video. The agent sends the video URL and position to the API and returns the frame URL instantly. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to extract the frame at 5 seconds from your video URL using the Video Frame Extractor API.

Frequently Asked Questions about video-frame-api

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract a frame from a video at a specific timestamp?▼

Send a POST request to the Pixazo video-extract-frame endpoint with the video URL and a position value in seconds. The API decodes the video and returns the exact frame at that timestamp as an image URL.

What API can capture a still image from a video file?▼

The Pixazo Video Frame Extractor API captures a still frame from a video via a single synchronous POST call. Provide the video URL and optionally a position in seconds and an output format like jpg.

Does frame extraction use the nearest keyframe or the exact timestamp?▼

Seeking is done after decoding, so the returned frame is the exact frame at the requested timestamp rather than the nearest keyframe. This gives precise captures at any position in the video.

What happens if I omit the position parameter when extracting a frame?▼

If the position parameter is omitted, the API returns the last visible frame of the video. This is useful for capturing end screens or final states without knowing the video duration.

Why do I get a 401 error from the Pixazo API?▼

A 401 error means the API key is missing or invalid. Generate a fresh key at the Pixazo API console and pass it in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header of your request.
