# extract one frame at the end of a video ffmpeg -sseof -0.1 -i intro_1.mp4 -frames:v 1 -q:v 1 intro_end.jpg
-sseof -0.1: This option tells FFmpeg to seek to 0.1 seconds before the end of the file. This approach is often more reliable for extracting the last frame, especially if the video’s duration isn’t an exact multiple of the frame interval. Super User -frames:v 1: Extracts a single frame. -q:v 1: Sets the quality of the output image; 1 is the highest quality.

🔸 Gaussian Splats: imagine throwing thousands of tiny ellipsoidal paint drops. They overlap, blend, and create a smooth, photorealistic look. Fast, great for visualization, but less structured for measurements.
🔸 Point Clouds: every dot is a measured hit. LiDAR or photogrammetry gives us millions of them forming a constellation of reality. Amazing for accuracy, but they don’t connect the dots out of the box.
🔸 Meshes: take those points, connect them into triangles, and you get very realistic surfaces. Strong for 3D analysis, simulation as continues watertight models.
