I have a collection of waterfall dfft image files (png format) that cover several months of data. Each image file is complete for the time duration, if you were to stitch them all together, they would amount to a complete waterfall for the months time period.
I would like to use them to create a movie, the ffmpeg command seems ideal, however it only takes complete png file(s) at a time. This makes for a jerky movie as it quickly jumps from image to image. However I want to gradually pan from one png file to the next. Allow me to explain. Imagine that we stitch two png files together into one longer one. Then we gradually pan a camera taking the original width snapshot, starting at the left edge and gradually panning to the right, incrementing evenly. This allows the movie to gradually pan from one image to the next instead of sudden jerks of whole images. What is a good way to do this? It means creating an individual png file for each camera increment, but obviously the original png files have to be torn apart and stitched carefully into new ones. What's a good program for doing this? While I do have the original data that made the png files, each data file is over 600 megs in size so it's somewhat impractical to use them. I do have high resolution png files 10800x7200 pixels in size which are about 30 to 50 megs in size. Can they be used? Thanks for letting me know if good linux image stitching software exists. I appreciate hearing from anyone who has done image --> movie projects like this and what they used?
