Title: Freeze frame filter
Post by: rexdog on February 01, 2013, 09:38:23 PM
Hi

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, I am new to DVD authoring. I what to freeze the last frame in a title sequence for 5 seconds or so. There is no sound so I would be happy with silence. Is it possible to freeze a image in this way? Can Avidemux do it? Perhaps with a filter?

Regards
Al.

In 2.5 it could be possibly done with copy frame and then paste this frame x times the frame rate x times the required seconds.
or perhaps this way: Create video from still image and from audio file (http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=tutorial:create_video_from_still_image_and_from_audio_file) by agent_007
no guarantees these still work.

with mencoder and ffmpeg possibly:
grab the last frame you require (.jpg) and reproduce this for the required frames/frames

ls -1tr | grep -v files.txt > files.txt
mencoder -nosound -noskip -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.avi -mf fps=15 'mf://@files.txt'
ffmpeg -i output.avi -y -s hd1080 -sameq output-final.avi


I'm using above method (not mine, forgot origin of this) for time lapse photography to movie.
