I take lots of photos on my phone, a daily record of the mundane and notable. These photos sit in folders, mostly unlooked at. Here’s one way to grok what you’ve been taking pictures of: make a video which shows them at a rate of 3 per second.<\/p>\n
Cribbing from this: The thing that makes this slightly more complex is that the photos are different sizes (some are portrait, some are landscape) and I want them to maintain their aspect ratio in the video, which means padding the portrait photos with some black space for the output.<\/p>\n In a terminal define output height and width variables (so, for photos from my phone):<\/p>\n Then<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to get a breakdown of what this is doing via explainshell.com<\/a>. People with longer attention spans may want to reduce the framerate (3 per second is nice if you have lots of photos of the same scene, but a bit quick for single photos).<\/p>\n
