I have just started to do this. It is possible to use ffmpeg to make HD video of still images that will be accepted as such by youtube.

It took me a bit of effort to get the whole thing working.

My starting point was the following reference: http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/ffmpeg/
ffmpeg -r 1 -b 1800 -i DSC_%4d.jpg outputfile.mp4
After getting started the next problem was to handle portrait and panorama images in the same video.
But before getting into that, look at this reference and let me know how it works out.




PS using the *.mp4 format for the video in essential for using the 1 frame per second rate that you would need to turn still images
into a "movie slideshow." Other formats such as mpeg2 just do not support it.

Of course if your stills are just the frames of a normal movie you will have to choose a faster frame rate, but I still advise using the *.mp4 format.

However if you are making a "motion"movie you will have to have more than 9 images,
so numbering them image1.bmp, image10.bmp ---- image1297.bmp (for ex) won't work because they won't all have the same number of characters in the number field.

In this case you will have to number them
image0001.bmp ---image0010.bmp---image1297.bmp and use -i image%4d.bmp

Thanx.
I understood 2 things that I haven't knew:

• nlsa8z6zoz7lyih3ap wrote:

  The 4 in %4d stands for the number of characters in the number field

  
  
• "Images need to have a continuous number in the filename"
  

Now I've done my movie so as:

Glad that you have it working now. The "man ffmpeg" certainly is confusing.

I also have had good results by modifying the command
