sorting a video on brightness

1. using FFMPEG to make images from video file
2. using Python PIL to convert every image to a 1x1 pixel image, and give it a brightness value
3. sorting the output images by brightness value
4. copying and renaming the images with SHUTIL
5. using FFMPEG to make a video from the images

• inputFilename: input video
• outputFilename: output images (frames)
• exportFilename: export video
