Creating animation from a png sequence - HOW?

HI Greensockers!

Happy New Year to you all (I know it's a little late but it's heartfelt in these odd days!)

 

I have a sequence of png files that I want to animate into a sprite sheet but I am not sure of the best way to do it.

Does anyone have any codepen examples or suggestions on the best way to achieve the animation?

Is it better to have a series of individual images (currently 120 images/frames) or to have one long spritesheet image containing all frames?

 

I dont have a codepen to show an example as I am not sure on the best method to start creating this spritesheet animation so ALL suggestions are welcomed!

 

Many thanks

If you have 120 PNG images, the file size would probably become quite large. Why don't you create an MP4 video instead?

First, name your images padded with zeros. For example, pic0001.png, pic0002.png, etc. Then, run this ffmpeg command:

 

ffmpeg -r 60 -f image2 -s 1920x1080 -i pic%04d.png -vcodec libx264 -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p test.mp4

 

If you don't have ffmpeg, you can download it here: https://ffmpeg.org

 

Perhaps this is not the solution you're looking for, but since you said ALL suggestions are welcome :)
