  1. Hello, let me thank you for this great article. I finally managed to use these two commands

    ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -y -vf fps=1/24 thumb%04d.jpg
    ffmpeg -framerate 1/0.6 -i thumb%04d.jpg slideshow.mp4

    Is it please possible to batch more than 1 video using those ?

    Thank you
    Vlad
