Dealerships often spend hours taking video and photos of all the cars on their lot and then uploading the footage and images for the web. Their work could be cut in half, however, if they utilized new video-to-picture products.

These programs automatically turn a vehicle video into hundreds of still images, eliminating the need for a separate photo shoot. After uploading the footage, the system slices it into still images giving the dealer hundreds of high-quality photos in a matter of seconds.

Dealer Impact recently added a free video-to-picture feature to its Video Generation System (VGS), an Internet marketing system that allows auto dealers to create inventory-specific video advertisements.

Customers using the program now have both video and photos automatically integrated into their websites and distributed to third parties, such as YouTube, Cars.com, and other online classifieds.
