What It Does
MoviePrint generates screenshot grids (contact sheets) from entire movies or specific sections. Instead of manually scrubbing through footage to grab reference frames, you can scan a movie and export a single image showing dozens or hundreds of frames at once. Useful for creating visual references, storyboards, or quick thumbnails of long footage.
Key Features
Customizable grid layouts. Set custom column counts, margins, and file data overlays. Optimize layouts automatically when working with very high or wide aspect ratios.
Shot detection. Scan movies with built-in detection algorithms to generate grids based on scene cuts rather than fixed intervals. Includes both standard and histogram-based detection methods. Switch between grid view and timeline view, where each thumbnail width represents shot duration.
Face-based MoviePrints. Scan for faces in footage and create grids filtered by face count, size, gender, age, or occurrence. Build a grid showing all instances of a specific face across an entire movie.
Player view. Scrub through footage in a horizontal multi-frame view with HTML5 video overlay. Select specific frames for individual thumbnails, cut or merge shots, and navigate between scenes.
Batch creation. Automatically generate MoviePrints from multiple movies at once.
In/Out points and cropping. Define custom ranges to export only specific sections. Transform movies with rotation, cropping, and aspect ratio adjustments before export.
Export options. Save as JPG or PNG with adjustable quality settings. Export individual thumbnails or all frames at once. Embed MoviePrint data into PNGs to restore and re-edit later.
Multiple MoviePrints per file. Create, duplicate, and manage multiple grids for the same movie. Switch between them without duplicating footage.
Zoom and navigation. Zoom in/out of grid view with keyboard shortcuts. Navigate shots or intervals with jump controls.
Who It’s For
Useful for editors and motion designers who need visual references from long footage, anyone building storyboards from existing films, or teams that need quick contact sheets for client review. Also helpful for archiving or cataloging video libraries.
Pricing
MoviePrint uses pay-what-you-want pricing with a suggested minimum of $29.99. Individual users can pay any amount. Businesses and teams must pay the suggested price for a valid license.
Note: Recent versions may not work on macOS Catalina or Apple Silicon machines. Requires a CPU with AVX support (for face detection).
