"Contact Sheet" for video files

[André Kringe]

Hi,

we are looking for a software that scans a folder directory (Windows), automatically detects video files and saves screenshots / thumbnails in a kind of contact sheet.
Similar to what you do with photos after a shooting.
Our goal is to have an overview of what footage is available from each project. For example in a PDF.
We would like to document all our shoots, as we frequently have to go back to older footage.


I have seen that there are free programmes for .mp4-files.
But we shoot our material on different cameras. Among them are two RED cameras, an ARRI SXT Plus and a 5D Mark IV.
Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks and kind regards

André

foolcat was created just for this... best is to see for yourself and give the demo version a try ... as it now has a PC version :

(disclaimer : I am the original foolcat programmer, this version is developed as a collab with Hedge.)
