Earns its place for automating a repetitive job. CGMatter built it around exporting image sequences without doing the work by hand each time, and it is offered under a royalty-free license.

What is Video To Image Sequence Converter?

Video To Image Sequence Converter is a Blender addon from CGMatter that converts any video into an image sequence. Once installed, a "Video to Sequence" operator appears in your search bar, and the workflow runs by drag and drop. Output can be exported as .png, .jpg, or .tiff, and the addon handles the export directory for you, placing files in a subdirectory of the original video file.

The addon is built with Blender 4.0 in mind. Under the hood it triggers a conda packaged environment that runs a compatible version of Python. It works on Windows and Mac, and because it works with your operating system, you are not limited to videos already inside Blender. It is compatible with most video formats, including .avi, .mp4, .mov, .mkv, .flv, and .wmv.

An interactive GUI presents a moveable overlay window, and installation follows the same process as any other Blender addon. The addon is distributed under a royalty-free license.
