Why a deletion request? EPF (talk) 20:09, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Is it because of File:Episode 15 Yachiyo2 9.png? If so, that new file is actually inferior: it has additional re-compression and blur not present in the screenshot I uploaded. See below. Upper are the original images, lower had their brightness raised so compression is more visible. What was the process you used to get those screenshots? Why do they have extra compression? Additionally, TheresaFrog, add categories to your uploads, for love's sake. Category:Magia Record Anime Episode 15 Screenshots should go onto all files you've uploaded today.

Sorry, I assumed that since my screenshot was taken later than the one youre using, mine was gonna be higher quality (the images in the old gallery page were lower quality). I got the screenshots by literally screenshoting so that's probably why they got compressed and i didn't really care for the category cause I thought the gallery itself works like the category (It brings all the specific images together). I'm still fixing some of the files so i'll add the category to all of them.--TheresaFrog421 (talk) 20:38, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Well, I suppose that's a fair assumption to make. Files on this wiki are in a horrible terrible state in general, so it's a fair assumption usually. If you have a video file, you might wanna consider running that through FFMPEG. It's a command-line tool, which, well, sucks, but the command for this specific result is really simple:

ffmpeg -i <input_file> -ss <start_time> -vframes <number_of_frames> <name_of_your_output_folder>/%04d.png

Alternatively, if the video file is long, and you want frames from a section late into the file, this is better:

ffmpeg -ss <start_time> -i <input_file> -vframes <number_of_frames> <output_folder>/%04d.png

This ensures pretty much the highest quality possible for the file. Just keep in mind two things: A) CLI tools really don't like spaces in filenames and they often don't like non-ascii characters either, so make sure the folders and filename are ASCII B) if you're on Windows, run FFMPEG through PowerShell by RightMouseButton+LeftShift clicking in the blank space of a folder and clicking the PowerShell option. It's pretty neat. EPF (talk) 20:59, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
