v2f

Convert video to 16mm-sized strips of frames. For transferring to acetate and other experimental needs.

Use the distributed binary

./v2f ./path_to_video.mov ./path_to_output_directory

or from source

node v2f.js ./path_to_video.mov ./path_to_output_directory

This will turn "pathtovideo.mov" into strips of film frames that will printing at 300dpi. They are broken up into 8.5x11in pages.
