It accepts a numbered sequence such as image_001.png, image_002.png, etc: ffmpeg -framerate 3 -i image_%03d.png -plays 0 output.apng The most common method is to use the image demuxer. See What are all codecs and formats supported by FFmpeg? for more examples.Īnother private option for APNG is -final_delay to force delay after the last frame. You can see private options for a specific muxer with ffmpeg -h muxer=apng. plays is an option specific (aka a private option) for the APNG muxer. 0 is infinite, 1 is no loop, 2 will play twice, etc. You can set looping with the -plays output option. Sorry, I am a relative novice with ffmpeg. I am also curious to know if it is possible to specify a sequence of images directly in ffmpeg as input without using ImageMagick.

This gives errors about delay and/or loop: magick lena.jpg mandril3.jpg monet2.jpg zelda1.jpg PNG:- | ffmpeg -i -delay 1000 -loop -1 x.apng magick lena.jpg mandril3.jpg monet2.jpg zelda1.jpg PNG:- | ffmpeg -i - x.apng

This works, but does not loop, and runs very fast. I can do the following, but it will not accept -delay nor -loop. Is it possible to set these parameters using ffmpeg when creating an APNG from a sequence of images? If so, can someone provide the proper syntax and/or show an example command? I have searched the ffmpeg documentation and cannot seem to find relevant syntax. But I cannot seem to get the correct syntax to control the frame delay and loop control (to loop forever). They are all the same dimensions (256x256). I have a (random selection) of JPG images that I want to use to make into an APNG animation using ffmpeg (to test the process).
