SowVideo
Details

- SowVideo can be used to specify interesting video frames to be "reaped" from an iterative expression evaluation.
- SowVideo[frame,…] returns frame, which can be a single image or graphics, or a list of them.
- In SowVideo[frame,n], n can be given as a scalar specifying the number of frames or a time Quantity object.
- In SowVideo[frame,n], if frame is a list, it gets resampled to n frames.
