How to create a video from images on Ubuntu 18.04?

You can create a video from multiple images on Ubuntu with ffmpeg:

  • -start_number is the number of the first image
  • -framerate is the frame rate of the video (number of images per second)
  • -i (input) is the filename (In the above example, the first image is DSC_0009.JPG) ;
