thumbnail_generator

Creates a video with the input video tiled to the users requirements

This program will take in a video file and produce another video file which contains either every frame, every key frame or every X frame and create a tiled screen.

The input configuration is an xml which allows you to either specify a generic row*cols for tiling or you can specify your own tile set
