I'd do it with avconv
(or ffmpeg
), but you have to do it on the command line.
Install required program
Open the terminal application and install the required programs:
sudo apt-get install libav-tools libavcodec-extra-53 libavdevice-extra-53 libavformat-extra-53 libavutil-extra-51 libpostproc-extra-52 libswscale-extra-2
Go to the directory containing the image sequence:
cd /path/to/images/
Convert:
avconv -i "img%d.png" -r 25 -c:v libx264 -crf 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p img.mov
-i "img%d.png"
uses these files as the input, %d
is a placeholder for the number
-r 25
the desired frame rate, 25 FPS in this case
-c:v libx264
use the h264 codec x264
-crf 20
the video quality, 20 is pretty high, the default is 23
-pix_fmt yuv420p
a compatible pixel format
Note that in contrast to e.g. VLC, older quicktime players are pretty picky about what they play. Be sure to test it in quick time, you may have to adapt the codec options / output format (For example, you could replace img.mov
with img.mkv
to get a Matroska video)
