We've debated this. The issue with doing it this way is that the FPS metadata is not always written correctly. For example, with the Miniscope software, although the true frame acquisition rate is often 30 FPS (at least that's what we use in the lab), the metadata is written as 20/25 FPS (I can't remember offhand which one). In any event, the user will need to know the frame rate in order to specify which frames they are interested in analyzing so we haven't seen it as a big deal to make them explicitly write it in. I should also note that the video_dict['fps']
parameter only influences video playback speeds.
Hi @ZachPenn @phildong,
I would like to suggest a minor change to make things easier for users. Instead of requesting fps from user, use
capture.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS)
to get fps directly from video capture file and add it tovideo_dict['fps']
. In case user desires to change fps for some reasion this could be also added.Cheers, L.
