How can I extract frames from an MJPG (Motion JPG) image taken with my smartphone (S23 Utra) using Vegas Pro? (Currently if imported into Vegas Pro they become simple JPGs).
JPEG motion image sequences are individual files, like any other still pictures, grouped and numbered in order.
You can easily import whole JPEG Image Sequences into Vegas using the command. Open->Image Sequence. You can specify the duration of each image on the timeline in Options->Preferences.
Samsung phones do not shoot Motion JPEG Video (MJPEG).
Le sequenze di immagini in movimento JPEG sono file singoli, come qualsiasi altra immagine fissa, raggruppati e numerati in ordine.
I telefoni Samsung non riprendono video Motion JPEG (MJPEG).
Maybe I didn't explain myself well, I know how it works regarding the "sequences" to be imported into Vegas. I am referring exactly to moving images (Motion JPEG) recorded with my smartphone "Samsung S23 Ultra"
Well I'm surprised. I have never seen a motion jpeg video with the .jpg extension, only still image files. I have a friend with the same phone, so I'll ask her to teach me what it does.
Maybe a developer will jump into the discussion and tell you if there are plans to include that particular movie format in a future Vegas release. I don't have 21, so I can't test it for you.
One way to attract their attention is to edit your topic title with the words "Feature Request:"
If you can upload one of those original files to Drive or Dropbox (not Youtube or social media) and post the link here, I'll be glad to test it for you, I have many analysis tools.
As a temporary solution for you, the two converters most likely to give you a file Vegas will recognize are Handbrake or Shutter Encoder, both free. If you like command-line utilities, ffmpeg is another to check out.
For me it extracts a HEVC video, but I am using HEIC picture format, It would make sense it uses HEVC even if you're using jpg to keep file sizes small
>moving images (Motion JPEG) recorded with my smartphone "Samsung S23 Ultra" >never seen a motion jpeg video with the .jpg extension
Samsung doesn't use Motion JPEG for what it calls Motion Photos. It's effectively a proprietary format consisting of a JPEG followed by a marker and then an MP4. And uses the jpg extension. The tool suggested by @Todd-A0 above basically works by splitting the file at the marker.
Another option is to export the video portion directly from the motion photo in the Gallery on the phone (select photo, click the triple dot for more options, and select export).
Per me estrae un video HEVC, ma sto utilizzando il formato immagine HEIC, sarebbe logico che utilizzi HEVC anche se stai utilizzando jpg per mantenere le piccole dimensioni dei file
It's safe? Both Malwarebytes and Microsoft Defender block it for me

@MikeS@Robert Johnston@Former user@mark-y Hi, here's a couple of Motion Photos created with a Samsung S23 Ultra If anyone wants to try them.
Un'altra opzione è esportare la parte video direttamente dalla foto in movimento nella Galleria del telefono (seleziona la foto, fai clic sul triplo punto per ulteriori opzioni e seleziona Esporta).
Yes, you're right, however I need to be able to operate from the computer, also because I have now deleted the original files from the phone

@Tommaso-Greco If you still have the phone you can copy them back onto the phone & export as video.
If you are coder, it is pretty trivial to knock something together for this; as I said earlier, Motion Photos are a proprietary format consisting of a JPEG followed by a marker and then an MP4. So all you need to do is write code to find the marker and then copy all the data after the marker to a new file, giving it an MP4 extension. And the marker is "MotionPhoto_Data"
@MikeS What do you know. I used VEDIT to copy everything following MotionPhoto_Data and saving file with .mp4 extension. Like you said, that would be easy to code. In Windows 11, just double-clicking on the jpg file opens it up in Photo as a motion photo.
