Usage
To generate thumbnails for video files file1 and file2, simply use
.. code-block::
thumbup file1 file2
The above will create file1.jpg and file2.jpg in the same directory as the video files.
To generate thumbnails for all video files in directory dir, use -r option. thumbup will recursively go through every video in directory dir and generate thumbnails next to them.
.. code-block::
thumbup -r dir
