Video player with "skip on frame" function

[snl]

Is there any video player, which has function "skip on exact frame number", like e.g. in MPC-HC ?
VLC can skip only on time.

Or some application, where I could compare two same frames of two different versions of some movie...

MPlayer and its front end(s) SMPlayer can go frame by frame.

Code: Select all

. Frame step  [<< period]
, Frame back step [<< comma]

Once you get the frame you want you can take a screenshot

Code: Select all

Ctrl+Shift+S Screenshot with subtitles
Ctrl+Alt+S Screenshot without subtitles

If you have two same frame screenshots you can use compare to get a difference:

Code: Select all

compare "$first" "$second" -compose src "$path/$image-diff.png"

That help?

Thanks !

Is there any way to skip on eg. frame number 11535 ?

Edit: Ahh, vidcutter in our test repos allows you to see the frames both by time and number--good for precision in cutting out video clips. That may be what you want.

I'm sure mpv can do it, too, since it seems to do anything, but that really isn't exposed. We have a sort of clone of MPC in the repo called mpc-qt, but a quick look doesn't seem to show that feature, though I could have missed it.

Avidemux, which you can run from the AppImage, allows you to go frame by frame, too, but I don't see any numbering feature--it handles those by timestamps like SMPlayer.
