How tools work

A tool is a small app you describe in plain words. Try this one here, then keep it on your Fuser canvas and connect it to the rest of your work.

1. Try it here

Add your own file or text and adjust the controls. Live tools run in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

2. Open it in Fuser

Sign up free and the tool opens on your canvas with this example wired in, ready to connect to images, video or text from other nodes.

Ways to use this tool

Create a single image from video frames and shape the composite with three blend modes and adjustable sampling.

Create long-exposure-style stills

01

Use moving footage to make a single stacked image with the feel of a long exposure.

Combine frames with averaging

02

Choose Average to blend sampled video frames into one composite image.

Emphasize brighter details

03

Choose Lighten to build the result from the lighter areas across sampled frames.

Emphasize darker details

04

Choose Darken to build the result from the darker areas across sampled frames.

Compare different composites

05

Run the same video with Average, Lighten, and Darken to compare how each blend mode changes the image.

Prepare a still for another node

06

Create one image from a video, then use that result as part of a larger Fuser workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Add one video in the “Video frames to stack” input. The tool returns one image made from sampled frames in that video.

Sample FPS controls how frequently the tool samples frames from the video, from 1 to 60 FPS. Adjust it to change the frames included in the stacked image.

Average combines the sampled frames by averaging them. Lighten favors lighter areas, while Darken favors darker areas.

No. This Live tool runs in your browser, updates as you change the controls, and is free to try without an account. Downloading more than once or opening it in Fuser asks you to sign up.

Yes. Open the tool in Fuser and combine it with other nodes. Its image result can be used as part of a broader node workflow.
