FFmpeg fade effects between frames

I want to create a slideshow of my images with fade in & fade out transitions betw开发者_如何学Pythoneen them and i am using FFmpeg fade filter.

If I use command:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 "fade=in:5:8" output.mp4

To create the output video with fade effect, then it gives output video with first 5 frames black and than images are shown with fade in effect but i want fade:in:out effect between frame change.

How can i do that?

Please tell a solution for Centos server because i am using FFmpeg on this server only

To create a video with fade effect, just break the video into parts and create separate videos for each image. For instance, if you have 5 images then firstly, create 50-60 copies of each image and obtain a video for that:

  $command= "ffmpeg -r 20 -i images/%d.jpg -y -s 320x240 -aspect 4:3 slideshow/frame.mp4";
  exec($command." 2>&1", $output);

This will allow you to create 5 different videos. Then, you need 10-12 different copies of those five images and again create separate videos with fade effects.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 "fade=in:5:8" output.mp4

After this you will have videos like: video for image 1 and its fade effect then for image 2 and its fade effect and so on. Now combine those videos in respective order to get the whole video.

For combining the videos you need:

$command = "cat pass.mpg slideshow/frame.mpg > final.mpg";

This means to join the videos using cat and then you need to convert them to mpg, join them and again reconvert them to mp4 or avi to view them properly. Also the converted mpg videos will not be proper so do not bother. When you convert them to mp4, it will be working fine.

You can make a slideshow with crossfading between the pictures, by using the framerate filter. In the following example 0.25 is the framerate used for reading in the pictures, in this case 4 seconds for each picture. The parameter fps sets the output framerate. The parameters interp_start and interp_end can be used for changing the fading effect: interp_start=128:interp_end=128 means no fading at all. interp_start=0:interp_end=255 means continuous fading. When one picture has faded out and the next picture has fully faded in, the third picture will immediately begin to fade in. There is no pause for showing the second picture. interp_start=64:interp_end=191 means half of the time is pause for showing the pictures and the other half is fading. Unfortunately it won't be a full fading from 0 to 100%, but only from 25% to 75%. That's not exactly what you might want, but better than no fading at all.

ffmpeg -framerate 0.25 -i IMG_%3d.jpg -vf "framerate=fps=30:interp_start=64:interp_end=192:scene=100" test.mp4

You can use gifblender to create the blended, intermediary frames from your images and then convert those to a movie with ffmpeg.
