<p>you have to specify both an input and an output framerate, right now you are only setting the input framerate. Try</p>
<pre><code>find dir/ -iname '*.jpg' | xargs cat | ffmpeg -f image2pipe -r 20 -i - -s 1080x720 -r 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mkv
</code></pre>
<p>hope this works</p>

<p>I have 40 <code>.jpg</code> in my <code>dir</code> folder and want to create a video at 20fps from them. I've tried the following command:</p>
<p><code>find dir/ -iname '*.jpg' | xargs cat | ffmpeg -f image2pipe -framerate 20 -i - -s 1080x720 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mkv</code></p>
<p>I expect to obtain a 2 seconds video (40 images / 20 fps) but I get a 6 seconds video. Here is the output of ffmpeg:</p>

<p>I've tried different strategies with the <code>-r</code> option, but I cannot get my 2 seconds video at 20 fps. Can you see what going on?</p>
<p>Also I would like to keep a <code>image2pipe</code> solution instead of a <code>image2</code> solution.</p>

# How to obtain the correct framerate with ffmpeg image2pipe format?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-09-18)

I have 40 .jpg in my dir folder and want to create a video at 20fps from them. I've tried the following command:

I expect to obtain a 2 seconds video (40 images / 20 fps) but I get a 6 seconds video. Here is the output of ffmpeg:

I've tried different strategies with the -r option, but I cannot get my 2 seconds video at 20 fps. Can you see what going on?
Also I would like to keep a image2pipe solution instead of a image2 solution.

### Answer by username_2 on 2021-10-29. Score: 0

you have to specify both an input and an output framerate, right now you are only setting the input framerate. Try
find dir/ -iname '*.jpg' | xargs cat | ffmpeg -f image2pipe -r 20 -i - -s 1080x720 -r 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mkv

hope this works
