Using ffmpeg to combine photos
cat *.JPG | ffmpeg -framerate 3 -f image2pipe -i - output.MOV
Took a lot of photos this morning of the sunrise. Still learning, any advice or comments welcome:)
to put it all together I used the following command in the terminal:
cat *.JPG | ffmpeg -framerate 3 -f image2pipe -i - output.MOV
cat * .JPG = this command collected all the files I had in the folder that ended with .JPG, so if your files end with a different suffix use that.
then it was piped thru to ffmpeg.
the framerate of 3, I believe stands for 3 frames per second
image2pipe option is for handling all the images collected.
make sure that you put a space between "-" and "output.MOV" because the "-" is supposed to be sitting by itself. it's referring to the input for the video is from the images that have been piped in.
I have made an output.MOV because my other files are .MOV but you can choose what you want.
