2.6: Using ffmpeg to convert a PNG Image Sequence into a MP4 file - 3D Cinema

[@allergictobs9751]

This is what a tut should be like, short and sweet.

[@Melarancida]

Saved me quite some time I would've otherwise spent searching online for these exact settings. Thank you!

[@GermanR1988]

Amazing tut, short and precise!!

[@TheSuccessfulLeader]

Thank you, Kat. Excellent delivery, and thank you for my education.

[@CYBERNORM]

Thx 4 this nice video. Under 2 minutes short and no bullshit intro. ^^

[@playr4]

Beyond helpful even 2 years late. Thank you so much.

[@theboraxbandit9563]

1:25 what are you writing here? for example, if it was to be in 4k mp4 - what might one type? i can't figure this one out using google

[@KatSullivan_Unreal]

if your image sequence is 4k, your video will be 4k

[@theboraxbandit9563]

What about if it was tiff file, say if it was a end roller and there were so many frames, would it be the same process

[@ajaxjaxxy3537]

thanks for the simple explanation, the boys over at stackoverflow could learn a thing or two about talking like a human...

[@adrianbunea2006]

I tried to read the documentation for the tool but it's convoluted to find the commands for this specifically and not some random components I have no idea about. Can anyone point me to the url for the relevant documentation on how to use this command?

[@eastriver9836]

hi thanks but can you make a video how to set various duration for images into a video using ffmpeg. I looked everywhere and nothing work

[@michaelmurray6176]

Hi I have a folder full of these files frame_000001.png, frame_000002.png....... I want to merge them into one file of the same format to use as an overlay one a video. I'm on a Mac what would be the command line to simple merge them as one png, there are a large number of files the folder to merge together. thanks for ay help

[@RideWithAnthony]

Can u do this with tiff files

For some reason, when I use %d.jpg it says there's no such file named %d.jpg I tried using *. jpg instead, but that for some reason replaces all my images with 0001.jpg just with different names. And it creates a video with just a single frame.

[@KatSullivan_Unreal]

Hi! So %d.jpg is saying grab all the images with [some_numer].jpg Look at your images, what are they called? If they are called img0001.jpg, img0002.jpg, etc you'll want to use img%04d.jpg (the 4 because there are 4 digits)

[@phs125]

@@KatSullivan_Unreal I just named them 0001.jpg etc I can't see what the problem is 😶

[@phs125]

Update: I tried again in my laptop, and it works fine there. Device specific issue I guess

[@KatSullivan_Unreal]

@@phs125 If they are all named 0001.jpg and not sequential that would be the issue

[@phs125]

@@KatSullivan_Unreal how can multiple files be named the same?🙄 Anyway, the problem was solved once I tried the exact same thing in my laptop instead. So it's not a problem with the things I was typing. Thanks for the reply tho. For clarification, the issue I was having was, I would have 20 files named 0001.jpg 0002.jpg etc till 0020.jpg After I ran that script, I would end up with all 20 images replaced with 0001.jpg , like they would have the original sequential names. But the actual image would be the same in all 20 of them. Then the video file would have just that one image which lasts for 1 second (because I set the frame rate to 1fps)

[@Zack2805]

Thanks helped a lot

[@IgorCesar625]

Very nice, thank you!

[@ahmedhesham5009]

Thanks for the Tips but what if I want a video with alpha channel ?

[@phs125]

I didn't need it, so I used an online png to jpg converter. It put a white background. Which is exactly what I needed.

[@mesamesamesa1277]

hi, what do I do if my images are named "0004956, 0004957, etc etc" how do I convert it? pls help

[@airbeast5671]

use regex that match your number pattern, from what I see in your comment, it should be so %07d

[@lagocardiel]

Thank you very much for sharing. 👍🇦🇷

Isn't there a more polished version with GUI? Rather than having to fumble with incomprehensible coding

[@decespugliatorenucleare3780]

@@pixelpro1007 I prefer a line of coke instead of coffee but, for everything else: fully agree

[@pinnacleexpress420]

if the videos are just labeled 0000 through 2555 for example if there were 2556 pictures, can i just put in -i %04d.png?

[@KatSullivan_Unreal]

Yes, that should be fine :)

[@lioncrud9096]

probably should've went a little deeper into "gonna set the format", but helpful for getting started.

[@whothou]

Kinda glazed over the format part. I've no idea what that is lol

[@aeuro715]

Hi when i click enter for the final command it says ffmpeg is not recognized as an internal or extrernal command

[@chthonic_f4]

you have to install it

[@SavvyStaks-ph8ee]

how to input audio ??

[@amandahiya8369]

i liked the part where you didnt inform what to do if your files are named 0001 0002 etc and not sequencer. how do i use the %function then

[@Tortellia]

%%[insert however many 0s there are- so if 4, it's 04].png/jpg might have to try with a single % sign too. It seems to be a little wonky that way. Pretty straightforward imo

[@therealeverythingstopmotion]

Thank you!!!

[@lilyfel2118]

"ffmpeg is not recognized as an interal or external command, operable program or batch file" is all I get... =/

[@dominicanfrankster]

p.s, the sequence number must start with 0. 1001 won't work. Thank you

[@AuroraLex]

Thank you so much!

[@jorgecarbajal9003]

Not working with images named "00000001" , "00000002", and so on.

[@mguerra99]

You'd need to change the command to have "08%d.png", or however you are naming your pngs such that the [08%d] part replaces the numbers in your filenames

[@jorgecarbajal9003]

If I copied 1000 pngs... And pasted them back into the same folder with original 1000 pngs, but with an "a" after each number Will that increase the FPS? I ask because I do that all the time using videos I'll copy one video and move it half a frame ahead of the original video And that's how I convert 30fps to 60fps without having to go through the long process of frame interpolation If this worked the same way with the images this could save me a bit of time on VEAI and also open an avenue for more tricks. Would it work?

[@polatiger4765]

Doesn't work.
