The Challenge of Digital Learning

In today's educational landscape, video lectures have become the cornerstone of online learning. However, students often struggle to retain information from hour-long videos, and educators face challenges in creating supplementary materials. That's where intelligent screenshot extraction comes in—transforming dynamic video content into digestible, reviewable study materials.

🎓 For Educators: Enhance Your Teaching Materials

Create Visual Summaries

Extract key slides and diagrams from recorded lectures to create concise visual summaries that students can review before exams.

Build Study Guides

Compile important moments into comprehensive study guides with timestamps, helping students navigate to specific topics quickly.

Highlight Key Concepts

Identify and extract frames showing important formulas, definitions, or diagrams that students should focus on.

Improve Accessibility

💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

Optimize Your Interval Settings

For slide-based presentations, sync your interval with the average time spent on each slide. For whiteboard lectures, use shorter intervals (15-30 seconds) to capture the progression of concepts.

Quality vs. File Size

For text-heavy slides, use higher quality settings to ensure readability. For general overviews, medium quality saves storage space while maintaining clarity.

Batch Processing for Courses

Process an entire semester's worth of lectures at once by selecting the course folder. The tool will organize screenshots by lecture automatically.
