Convert from a series of png files to a mp4 movie

This details the steps to do that.

From png to jpg

First convert to jpg. Maybe you need to strip down a transparent background, then use something like:

mogrify -format jpg -background white -flatten *.png

Order files

You can use our Natural order module for that.

Convert from jpg to mp4

Use (fps is the "frame per second" rate):

mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf fps=10 -ovc lavc -o movie.mp4
