Although I'm late but,.

Use a library called - FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever

Add this line in your build.graddle under module app:

compile 'com.github.wseemann:FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever:1.0.14'

Rebuild your project.

Use the FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever class to extract frames,. follow the steps:

FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever med = new FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever();


med.setDataSource("your data source");

and in your loop you can grab frame using:

 Bitmap bmp = med.getFrameAtTime(i*1000000,FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever.OPTION_CLOSEST);

Try to use

Bitmap bitmap = ThumbnailUtils.createVideoThumbnail(videoFile, 0);

and also please visit two sites How to show image and video as thumbnail in grid view?

  • hi balban... thanx alot for your reply... i see that the second link(java code) doesn't seem to be compatible for android. What all i need to do is get the RGB values of each frame from a video file. So for that i am trying to extract all the frames in the video. – srikanth Jul 29 '11 at 06:50
