Purely curiosity at this point - it was something I wanted for a project a while back that has been retired - does anyone here know of the best way to get a good thumbnail from a video using ffmpeg?

I think back then I was looking to take 5-10 snaps somewhere between the 30-50% mark and then use the largest (I guess in theory more detail - not a blank frame) image

Does anyone have a better way, or even just know how to pull a snapshot at "30%" using ffmpeg? I think at the time I used outside code and ffprobe to figure out where 30% is, there's bound to be a better way than that

Was this supposed to be a link to a specific answer or something?

Stack Overflow would close it as too specific or some other thing if I asked directly. Despite how much as I use it, I hate that damn site.
