## 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/`.
