Note that the -r 0.25 option goes after the -i input.mov part, because it's controlling the frame rate of the output. So to put it all together, this is how it would look to save one frame of input.mov every four seconds to output_0000.png, output_0001.png etc.: ffmpeg -i input.mov -r 0.25 output_%04d.png 1 frame per second would be -r 1, one frame every four seconds would be -r 0.25, one frame every ten seconds would be -r 0.1 and so on. The trick is to simply change the frame rate of the output to whatever we want using the -r n option where n is the number of frames per second.
#Ffmpeg mp4 with single frame rate how to
Ok so now we know how to export the movie as a sequence of images, but say we don't want to export every single frame?

You can use lots of still image formats, png, jpeg, tga, whatever (see ffmpeg -formats for a full list). The %0xd bit is converted to a zero-padded integer x digits long - the example I gave gets output as To export as an image sequence just use myimage_%04d.png or similar as the output. By playing the output in a player that allows seeking frame-by-frame, you can inspect which frames have been dropped or duplicated.It's very simple with ffmpeg, and it can output one frame every N seconds without extra scripting. This 10 second, 60 fps video called test.mp4 will show the frame count at the bottom, and a second counter in the middle of the frame. In order to verify which frames are duplicated or dropped by a frame rate change, you can first generate a sample video:įfmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=10:size=854x480:rate=60 \ If the input video was 60 fps, ffmpeg would drop every other frame to get 30 fps output. To change the output frame rate to 30 fps, use the following command: In the following we will focus on using the fps filter, as it is more configurable. See the documentation of the fps filter for details. It offers five rounding modes that affect which source frames are dropped or duplicated in order to achieve the target framerate. fps, as a filter, needs to be inserted in a filtergraph, and will always generate a CFR stream.The -r value also acts as an indication to the encoder of how long each frame is, and can affect the ratecontrol decisions made by the encoder.For variable frame rate formats, like Matroska, the -r value acts as a ceiling, so that a lower frame rate input stream will pass through, and a higher frame rate stream, will have frames dropped, in order to match the target rate. For an output format like MP4, which defaults to constant frame rate (CFR), -r will generate a CFR stream.The -r logic depends on the video sync method set ( -vsync).-r takes effect after all filtering, but before encoding of the video stream has taken place.There are differences in implementation of those two: With the -r option used as an output option.
There are two ways to change the output frame rate:
If you are interested in keeping the number of frames, but squeezing / stretching the video, see: How to speed up / slow down a video How to change the frame rate Please look at the respective encoding guides for the codec you've chosen. Without setting appropriate output quality or bit rate, the video quality may be degraded. Note: Changing frame rates requires the video to be re-encoded.
