    I originally made this because I switched to macOS and realized there wasn't a simple equivalent to MPC-HC's contact sheet generator. Every app I found either cost money, added watermarks, or was way more complicated than it needed to be.

    It's a contact sheet maker. I didn't think that was something people should have to pay for, so I ended up making my own.

    Perfect Grid is a free, open-source desktop app that creates high-quality video contact sheets from local video files. You can customize the layout, metadata, timecodes, export quality, and more, with support for both Windows and macOS.

    Features
    • High-quality PNG contact sheets
    • Customizable layouts and metadata
    • Optional timecode overlays
    • Smart Refine Picks frame selection
    • Batch processing
    • No watermarks
    • No telemetry
    • Works completely offline
    I use ShareMania a lot, so I figured I'd share it here in case it helps anyone else—especially other Mac users who have been looking for something like this.

    Do you got a working link? Mediafire link is down and I can't connect to any of the peers on the torrent.

    Eh. I tried it out, it's alright but @oldtechnology's app is miles better. In fact, Movie Thumbnails Maker is the one that is ugly.

    @oldtechnology, my only complaint would be that your app does not seem to support non-English characters [​IMG]

    Oh, and it would also be nice if you could make the window smaller... I wasn't able to resize the window so half of it was cut off. (It actually seems that the window gets longer every time I change something.)

    2CU.
    Nem a porra de uma thumbnail eu consigo gerar em paz, sem me estressar. Sai tudo feio, tudo ruim, fonte feia, fudida, desfocada, muito fina, muito grossa, muita apertadinha, muito inchada, muito escrota, muita frescura e ??? se eu não entendo o que está escrito, quem vai entender? Todas as fontes são uma merda, o design de tudo é uma merda, nada presta. Cansei. Fico horas testando cores, fontes, etc..

    Thank you so much. Gonna check it out. I really needed a good thumbnails maker for MacOS because most of alternatives suck :)

    Does the app support TS/M2TS formats?
