1 Renaming, resizing, and changing format

1.1 Rename files

file:scripts/batchrename

1.2 Rename, convert and with optional resize or crop command

The folder where the files are has to be named on the commandline and with the –resize option you can say what size the files should have with the –crop option you can crop around the middle of an image. with the –both option, you can resize and crop to create a square. jpg, jpeg and png are automatically recognized. Use –help to see all options. bugs: if another type of file is present, the renaming script skips a file.

2 grayscale all images in a folder 

for i in berg/*.png; do convert $i -type grayscale $i; done

-layers OptimizeTransparency +map animate_opt.gif

7 Create an mpeg4 from jpegs using mencoder or png2yuv 

mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf fps=25 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=5000

8 Create mpeg video from pngs using png2yuv and mpeg2enc 

png2yuv -j file%08d.png -I p -f 25 -b 1 | \
         mpeg2enc -f 3 -q 3 -b 5000 -o out.m2v

9 Create a gstreamer pipe with jpg images, adds effecttv effect 

gst-launch -v multifilesrc location="%03d.jpg" caps="image/jpeg,framerate=\(fraction\)6/1" \
! decodebin ! ffmpegcolorspace ! warptv ! ximagesinko

10 Transcode commands for images to video

-export_asr 3 --import_asr 3 -w 25000 -F3,"--no-constraints --nonvideo-bitrate 384 \
--force-b-b-p --video-buffer 448 --keep-hf --min-gop-size 6 --max-gop-size 6"

10.2 Export png files to raw avi changing fps 

find *png -type f | sort > list
 transcode -x imlist,null --use_rgb -y raw,null -f 10 -i list -g 720x576 \
 -o video.avi -H 0 -z -k --export_fps 25 --export_asr 2 -J fps=10:25

  • Make file list 
    find *png -type f | sort > list

    transcode -x imlist,null --use_rgb -y ffmpeg,null -F mpeg4 -w 1000 -f 14 -i list \
-g 175x140 -Z 360x288 -o video.avi -H 0 -z -k --import_asr 2 --export_fps 25 \
--export_asr 2 -J fps=14:25 --export_par 1

10.4 s.a.b with audio dub

  • Make file list 
    find *png -type f | sort > list

    transcode -x imlist,raw --use_rgb -y ffmpeg -F mpeg4 -w 1000 -f 15 -i list \
-g 175x140 -Z 360x288 -o video.avi -H 0 -z -k --import_asr 2 --export_fps 25 \
--export_asr 2 -J fps=15:25 --export_par 1 -p ~/exhibit/test/Aurora.wav -e 44100 -n 0x1

10.5 Export png to mpeg2

  • Make file list 
    find *png -type f | sort > list
  • Transcode video, 1st pass 
    transcode -x imlist,null --use_rgb -y ffmpeg,null -F mpeg2video -f 15 -i list -g 720x576 \
-o video2 -z -k -H0 --import_asr 2 --export_fps 25 --export_asr 2 -J fps=15:25 --export_par 1 \
--encode_fields p -w 8500 -R 1,ffmpeg.log
  • Transcode video, 2nd pass 
    transcode -x imlist,null --use_rgb -y ffmpeg,null -F mpeg2video -f 15 -i list -g 720x576 -o \
video2 -z -k -H0 --import_asr 2 --export_fps 25 --export_asr 2 -J fps=15:25 --export_par 1 \
--encode_fields p -w 8500 -R 2,ffmpeg.log
  • Transcode audio to mp2 
    transcode -x null,raw -y null,mp2enc -J resample -e 44100 -n 0x1 -p ~/exhibit/test/Aurora.wav \
-E 48000 -m sound.mp2 -N 0x50 -b 192
  • Multiplex audio and video 
    mplex -f 3 -o video.mpeg video2.m2v sound.mp2

create ffmpeg.cfg file with the following content:

[mpeg2video] nr = 20 gray = 0 mbd = 2 mv0 = 1 trell = 1 cbp = 1 cmp = 3 subcmp = 3 vqcomp = 0.7 vqblur = 0.3 vrcminrate=0 vrcmaxrate=9800 vrcbufsize=1792

11 Playing jpgs with mplayer 

mplayer mf://*.jpg -mf fps=18:type=jpg

12 Script to convert seconds to minutes

Required to pass arguments to mplayer sometimes, as it counts time in seconds

file:scripts/seconds2minutes

13 erase every nth file in a folder

file:scripts/nthfileerase
