So you would set it to grab like once every minute if you want fewer thumbs to deal with.
If you have a lot of videos, you can load them up in the timeline then just space them out by like 10 minutes. Then you can run them all out as one big image dump, then when sorting you just find the blank thumbs and know that is where the next scene starts.
However, I hear there is a way to create a script that will do all that for you, but I don't know how to script so I'm left doing it the 'stupid' way.

Thanks....I've figured out howto do it with a script.....will post it here later
in case anyone can use it. It scans folders for video files (name scheme)
and extract x thumbs from the files that match the criteria.
It can start from start of vid or at any time you specify. Same for end time
interval of extracting thumbs, dimensions, number of thumbs to extract.
