I found this tutorial:

Where it tells me how to extract frames from a video with ffmpegX from the commandline (at least that is what I understood).

I cd in the directory where the .MOV files is I want to extract and ran in the Mac OS Terminal(!):

ffmpeg -i mymov.MOV -r 25 -f image2 images%05d.png

and

ffmpegX -i mymov.MOV -r 25 -f image2 images%05d.png

But on both I get:

-bash: ffmpegX: command not found

All this on a Mac.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong would be great.

Thanks a lot.
