How to select a specific frame based on timestamp in openCV?

Question

I need to edit a specific frame in a video, but I only have the time in milliseconds in which I should make the edit. How to use this information to get the frame? A python example would be very appreciated!

Answer 1

based on this link, the time related to a given frame can be found in the property CV_CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC where the doc is saying:

CV_CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC Current position of the video file in milliseconds or video capture timestamp.

Update: As mentioned by @Mouldri in the comments below, the value has been changed to CAP_PROP_POS_MSEC in openCV 3.
