Time-lapse from video files with ffmpeg.sh
# Make the images
# (used parallel to speed it up with multiple jobs, but this may not be necessary; haven't tested it)
# fps=1/60 is 1 frame per minute (1/60th frame per second)
parallel 'ffmpeg -i {} -vf fps=1/60 imgs/{.}_%03d.jpg' ::: vidfiles*.avi

ffmpeg -r <fps> -pattern_type glob -i 'vidimages*.jpg' -c:v libx264 timelapse.avi
