Videoframe

Previously, getting a single frame from a video meant generating thumbnails through an asynchronous video processing job. Now you can extract a still image at an exact timestamp on the fly with Videoframe:

https://:subdomain.ucarecd.net/:uuid/videoframe/00:00:05/
  • The timestamp is set as HH:MM:SS[.mmm] or in seconds, such as 30s.
  • The frame is returned as a PNG at the video’s native resolution.
  • Any image operations can be appended to resize, crop, or convert the frame, including -/json/.
