I can create a 5 second video from a png as follows: I could create a video for that, but to make it easier to change I’m going to use a single image that displays for a few seconds. Ideally I want a post roll video which links to my site. I now know how to create videos for various sites. Previous posts have covered ffmpeg for helping with video marketing.

For longer videos you will need to use a higher number ( %08d.png).įfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgba64be output_%04d.pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgb24 output_%04d.pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgb48be output_%04d.pngįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgba output_%04d.tiffįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgba64le output_%04d.tiffįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgb24 output_%04d.tiffįfmpeg -i input.mp4 -compression_algo lzw -pix_fmt rgb48le output_%04d.Having created a video, I want a call to action image that plays after the video is complete, and I want this to be standardised for a lot of my videos. Using the above example the output files will be called output_0001.png, output_0002.png, output_0002.png and so on. %04d specifies the position of the characters representing a sequential number in each file name matched by the pattern. Replace input.mp4 with the name of your video and output_ with the name your output image files. Use this command to extract the video to a png image sequence:įfmpeg -i input.mp4 -pix_fmt rgba output_%04d.png.

Open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing the video.FFmpeg provides a convenient command-line solution for converting video to images.
