Plenty of news on the facebook E-M1II group and the GH5 group.

Holger just sent me this:

There is a new app for OS X available in App Store – GExtractor. From now one it is very easy to get the best frames out of a video file. It works with all formats supported by OSX. With High Sierra it is possible to extract from 6K movies out of the GH5. The quality of extracted images is better than all other solutions based on FFMPEG.

GExtractor is a small OSX app to extract frames from video files. It supports all movie codecs which are supported by OSX. Basic features are extract single frames to file or pasteboard as well as batch extraction of selected files. To optimise the workflow most of the actions are performed by keyboard strikes. Supported output format are JPEG in highest quality, TIFF and PNG. Once OSX supports saving in HEIC/HEIF this function will be enabled.
