1) Google ffmpeg and install it on your computer.

3) On windows add it to environment path if you want
4) Go back to vs code and npm install ffmpeg ffprobe
5) Then add this line (for windows) - the path should be path where the program is:
ffmpeg.setFfmpegPath('C:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe');
ffmpeg.setFfprobePath('C:/ffmpeg/bin/ffprobe.exe');

const tg = new ThumbnailGenerator({ sourcePath: "sourcePath/", thumbnailPath: 'destinationPath/' }); tg.generateOneByPercentCb(90, (err, result) => { if (err) throw err; console.log(result); // 'test-thumbnail-320x240-0001.png' });
6b) If you're using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg(sourcePath) .screenshots({ timestamps: [0.0], filename: 'thumbnail.png', folder: destinationPath }) .on('end', err => { if (err) throw err; console.log('done'); });
