 |
|
My little nephew and I made a totally rad stop-motion cartoon with a digital camera. Is there a program for Linux that could make a movie in some standard format from a sequence of images?
Making an animated gif worked, but Windows picture viewer has issues with large animated gifs and you can't add a soundtrack to a gif.
Thanks! |

mencoder from the mplayer package can do this. Just look at the examples at the end of the man page.

assuming they are jpegs try something like this:
| Code: |
mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf type=jpeg:fps=30 -ovc lavc -o out.avi
|
I think most of the options are obvious. You may want to change the output codec to something more appropriate for your situation, see
If you are using Windows to view the file, one of my friends says Windows Movie Maker will import clips encoded with -ovc raw but the output file will be huge (uncompressed). I'm pretty sure Windows Media Encoder will also import raw avi, but I don't think Media Player will play them without some work first. When all else fails, as the last poster said, RTFM (mencoder/mplayer's) |

|
|
I had to do this earlier, heres a simple script I used to accomplish it:
| Code: |
for FILE in *.jpg ; do
jpeg2yuv -n 150 -I p -f 29.97 -j "$FILE" | mpeg2enc -f 8 -o "$FILE.mpg"
done
|
Run that script in a directory of properly scaled images and it creates an mpeg movie of all of them. |
