How to extract an image of a the last_keyframe in the case above 864?

ffmpeg -i input -vf select=eq(pict_type\,I)*gt(n\,864) -update 1 -vsync 0 last.png
  • select filter keeps only the key(I) frames and(*) frames above #864
  • -update 1 discards/overwrites the previous frame, so the final frame is saved
  • -vsync 0 keeps encoder from unnecessarily making copies of the key frames to fill the time

How to get the timestamp of the last_keyframe in the case above 864?

I don't know if there is a way to do this in FFmpeg, but with FFprobe you can run the following to get all the keyframe timestamps:

ffprobe -skip_frame nokey -select_streams v:0 -show_entries frame=pts_time
