After you have all the images in a folder, install ffmpeg, in Ubuntu/Debian Linux e.g.
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
In order to make a movie (mp4 quicktime) out of the images you need to issue the following command
ffmpeg -qscale 5 -r 20 -b 9600 -i img%04d.png movie.mp4
The options are
- -qscale 5 … define fixed video quantizer scale (VBR) where 1 is the best and 31 the worst. Since mpeg/jpeg has problems to compress line graphics it’s a good idea to set this variable close to 1. You get a big movie file, but otherwise the movie doesn’t look, well, that good.
- -r … framerate
- -b … video bitrate
- -i input files, %04d says that we have four numbers in the filename where the number is filled with zeros left of it.
- movie.mp4 is the filename, the extension says that it is a quicktime movie. You can also create a Macromedia Flash movie by using the .flv extension.
