Skreenics is a great idea.
please could you add the following option :
- Decide wether to print frame timing or not
- Choose the time separating each frame
- make a figure with all key frames

many thanks,
Franck

"- Decide wether to print frame timing or not"
Sure, that would be easy

"- Choose the time separating each frame"
Mmmh, why not. For now it's using the number of rows and columns. How would 
you like to handle it if there isn't enough frames ? For example if, on a 
video, getting 
a frame every 10 minutes fives 7 frames... It's missing one to get a nice 
rectangle 
right? :P

"- make a figure with all key frames"
Not sure exactly what you mean? :)

Hi,

sorry for not following-up earlier.

"- Choose the time separating each frame"
Mmmh, why not. For now it's using the number of rows and columns. How would

video, getting

Yes, I would accept to not have a complete rectangle then :-)

"- make a figure with all key frames"

Let me tel you why I think your tool is great for my work. I a doing research i 
cell biology. We do time-lapse 
imaging of living cells. For example, I image a cell every 5 seconds (this can 
be also in the order of every 
minute or every hour). Say I do it for 2 minutes, I get 24 frames. I assemble  
Quicktime  movie that I 
accelerate so that I can study it. For example, I accelerate it 10 times, so 
the movie only last 12 seconds. The 
problem we face is that it is not easy to keep a trace of the movie in your 
notebook, or to make a figure that 
can be published. One has to take each frame, a create a figure. Using your 
soft, I would then be able to make 
a figure in a snap. The best would be to be able to ask for 
- A figure with col x row frames (that you already implemented)
- A figure showing all the frames of the movie, or only half, or one out of 
ten.. etc..
- To set-up the proper timing indicating to the soft what the actual timing 
between each frame is.

I have attached an example of what I did using Skreenics   

Please, do not hesitate to ask more if i was unclear,
thanks for developing Skreenics,
Best,
Franck

PS:thinking more, I think it would be great to be able to do the same starting 
from a folder of Tiff or jpeg 
images instead of a movie.
