Image and video editing hacks using ffmpeg

Compose a slideshow

This is beginner’s tutorial for starting up with open source ffmpeg library.

In the beginning, it’s shown how we can convert an image gallery to a video slideshow. For example we have a directory called images filled with photos that we want to knit together to obtain a slideshow. A video, however, has an additional time/length attribute besides the attribute that controls which order the images are sawn together in. Along with these, several other features underlie a video composition, some of which will be discussed in this tutorial.
