    Also, I suspect you're working on distilling security cam footage, a cam which is triggered by a motion sensor apparently at least 15 times per day. Did I win?

Nope. :D

It is actually some small program that accesses a webcam and saves a video after 1000 frames. They are videos of mouse behavior in a kind of place preference test that is modified to test the preference of the animals to temperature.

I wanted to switch to something easier (like micromanager) but because I started all my analysis with that (and trained a neural net to do the analysis for me using these outputs) I am just sticking with it until the project is finished.

I was thinking of using python instead as I know I could just use the natsort package to do the sorting and there is probably some python wrapper for ffmpeg like this one.
