YES!!!! (But not with ffmpeg.)
Write a simple script that will find all the files and rename them with
ordinal numbers.
Assuming a pattern of %Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S.jpg (which will predictably sort)
and that you want all the files in that dir-
set oldpwd [pwd]
cd $timelapselocation
set allfilessorted [sort [glob -nocomplain "*.jpg"]]
set ord 0
foreach f $allfilessorted {
file rename $f [format "Sunflower-%5.5d.jpg" $ord]
incr ord
}
cd $oldpwd
(that's off the top of my head, I haven't tested it; it doesn't have any
error checking, etc; does not deal with day/month/year wraparound; ought to
work....)
Then call the ffmpeg constructor.
Then I am able to run something like ffmpeg -r 25
*path_to_the_folder_with_the_snapshots/Sunflower-%5d.jpg* -vcodec h264 -f
mp4 *name_and_path_of_the_output_file.mp4*
Later,
z!
