Thanks for this! Getting some errors, any ideas?

Getting exact same error, did you manage to work this out?

Figured it out, I'm using windows and the output directory needs to exist for generating frames. I updated this function:

export async function extractFramesFromVideo(inputFilepath, outputFilepath, frameRate) {

  await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

  // Ensure output path exists
    const filePath = dirname(outputFilepath);
    if (!existsSync(filePath)) {
      console.log('Path does not exist');
      mkdirSync(filePath);
    }

    ffmpeg()

      // Specify the filepath to the video
      .input(inputFilepath)

      // Instruct FFmpeg to extract frames at this rate regardless of the video's frame rate
      .fps(frameRate)

      // Save frames to this directory
      .saveToFile(outputFilepath)

      .on('end', () => resolve())
      .on('error', (error) => reject(new Error(error)));
  });
}

Thanks, that works!
