Generate a 2-fps mp4 from images using FFMPEG

Question

Need to create a video from a series of images. The video needs to have a low frame rate. This is the command I use to create the video.

ffmpeg.exe -r 2 -i image         


        

Answer 1

Some players, like VLC, don't like low framerate videos.

Use

ffmpeg.exe -framerate 2 -i images/%3d.jpg -r 8 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuvj420p output.mp4

Each frame will still last for 0.5 seconds but output rate is 8 which should play in VLC.
