Below code me to extract individual frame from the video, I just wanted to make a new video file from frame 21 to 24. I wanted to save frames 21 to 24 in an array that I could later convert to a video file.

```auto
    while success:
        success, image = vidobj.read()
        cv2.imwrite("frame%d.jpg"%count, image)

```

what do you want to do, exactly ? do you want to write a video file, stitch a panorama, or make an array of it ? those things are all unrelated to each other.

please try to be as precise as possible, and remove the “garbage words” from your question.
