Many people in the need to quickly generate 9-square preview maps for MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV and other videos when sorting out course videos, material videos, training videos or short film resources, so as to facilitate content browsing, archive management and external display. Manual screenshots one by one is not only time-consuming, but also error-prone. This article combines office software" HeSoft Doc Batch Tool "The actual interface demonstrates how to import video files in batches, set the number of vertical and horizontal pictures to 3 × 3, and generate a preview of the video. After reading, you can get started quickly and complete the preview work of a large number of video files in less time.
If you have a batch of MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV and other video files in your hand, you need to quickly view the general content of each video, or you need to archive, organize, hand over, upload and display the videos, then generate video preview images in batch it will be much more efficient than taking screenshots one by one manually. Especially need to produce 9 gongge preview map at the same time, manual pause, screenshots and jigsaw puzzles are not only repetitive, but also easy to miss frames and name confusion.
The problem to be solved in this article is very clear: how to use an office software to generate 9-square preview maps for multiple video files in batches. Below HeSoft Doc Batch Tool For example, explain the operation process step by step according to the actual interface, so that you can get started after reading it.
Applicable Scenarios
generate 9-grid preview images for videos in batches, which is common in the following scenarios:
- when sorting out the course video, training video and conference record screen, quickly view the general content of each video;
- when managing material libraries, thumbnail overview is generated for MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV and other files for easy filtering;
- when delivering video resources to customers, colleagues or teams, it is more intuitive to attach previews;
- improve the efficiency of retrieval and judgment when doing video archiving, media asset management and content review;
- reduce duplicate screenshots and puzzle operations when batch processing a large number of files.
From the perspective of office efficiency, this kind of work is very suitable for office software automation, especially when the amount of documents is large, the value of batch processing will be very obvious.
Effect preview (pre-and post-processing)
before treatment: you only have a batch of video files on your computer, such as a list of videos in mp4 format. If you want to know what each video says and how the picture is, you can only open it one by one.
After treatment: the software will extract multiple pictures from each video according to the settings and combine them into a preview of Jiugongge. Take 3 lines × 3 as an example, it is common video 9 Palace grid screenshot effect. In this way, even if you do not open the video, you can quickly browse the general content.
For users with a lot of video data and high sorting frequency, this method is much more efficient than manually cutting 9 pictures and splicing them.
Operation steps
step 1: Enter the "Generate Preview for Video" function
as you can see from the screenshot, the software name is HeSoft Doc Batch Tool . Enter in the left navigation video Tools after that, the main interface will list multiple video-related functions.
You can directly see the function items: generate preview for video. Click this function to enter the processing interface for batch generation of video preview images.
The purpose of this step: enter the correct batch processing module, ready to generate a preview of multiple video files.
Expected results: open the operation page of "Generate preview for video" and enter the processing flow.
Step 2: Batch add video files to be processed
after entering the function page, the interface is currently located in step 1: select records to process. Several obvious buttons can be seen at the top of the page, including:
- add File
- import files from a folder
- empty
- more
if you are only dealing with a small number of videos, you can click add File; If you have a folder with many videos, it is more suitable for use. Import files from a folder, which can be imported in batches at one time.
After the import, information about the video is displayed in the table, for example:
- name
- path
- extension
- creation time
- modification time
nine mp4 files have been imported in the screenshot, indicating that this function supports centralized management of pending records by list.
The purpose of this step: add the video to the task list at one time to generate the preview of Jiugongge.
Expected results: the pending video file appears in the list to verify that the file name, path, and format are correct.
After confirming that it is correct, click at the bottom of the page. Next step.
Step 3: Set 9-box preview parameters
after entering step 2, the interface title is set processing options.
As can be seen from the screenshot, there are three main parameters:
- number of portrait images
- number of horizontal pictures
- small picture size percentage in cell
to generate a standard 9 gongge preview map the most critical setting is:
- set the number of portrait images 3
- set the number of horizontal pictures 3
in this way, the software will output the Jiugongge effect in the form of 3 × 3.
In addition, there is a small picture size percentage in cell slider. This parameter is usually used to control the display scale of the small picture in the cell. In actual use, if you want the picture to be filled more fully, you can adjust it appropriately; if you want the white space to be more balanced, you can also fine-tune it as needed.
The purpose of this step: determines the layout structure and visual presentation of the preview.
Expected results: the software generates a preview of Jiugongge screenshots for each video in 3 rows and 3 columns.
After the settings are complete, click at the bottom of the page. Next step continue with the follow-up process.
Step 4: Set the save location and start processing
as you can see from the process navigation, the software follows:
- step 3: set Save Location
- step 4: start processing
although the screenshot does not fully expand the specific interface of these two steps, it can be reasonably judged from the process name: next, you need to specify the output directory of the preview image before executing the batch processing task.
It is recommended to save the output results to a separate folder for subsequent viewing, sending, archiving and secondary sorting.
The purpose of this step: unified management of batch-generated preview files and formal execution of tasks.
Expected results: the software automatically generates a corresponding 9-square preview for each video in the list according to the set parameters.
Frequently Asked Questions or Precautions
1. Which video formats are suitable for this method?
As can be seen from the list of video tools in the interface, the software is oriented to multiple video formats for processing scenarios. In addition to MP4, video management requirements for AVI, MKV, MOV, FLV, WMV, WebM, MPEG, 3GP, OGV, TS and other formats are usually involved. In actual operation, it is recommended to import the file first to check whether it can be recognized normally.
2. Why is it recommended to use "import files from folders"?
If you have a large number of videos, it will be slower to add files one by one. Importing directly from the folder is more suitable for batch processing in office scenarios and can significantly reduce repeated operations.
3. Does Jiugongge have to be 3 × 3?
If your goal is to preview the standard video 9-square, set the vertical 3 and horizontal 3. If other typesetting methods are needed in actual work, they can also be adjusted according to the row and column parameters in the interface.
4. What needs to be checked before processing?
It is recommended to check whether the video file path is valid, whether the file can be played normally, and whether the task list is mixed with files that do not need to be processed to avoid useless results.
5. What follow-up work is the preview suitable?
It can be used in office processes such as material filtering, video archiving, content delivery, project summary, internal review, resource management, etc. It is especially suitable for teams that need to quickly browse a large amount of video content.
