rename all picture files in sequence by datetime (if necessary)
resize pictures to video resolution frame (eg 3008x2000 --> 1920x1277[1920x1080])
crop pictures to video resolution (eg 1920x1277 --> 1920x1080)
create list of picture files
build video from files
Methods, tools & commands to make it happen
My camera fills up folders with up to 500 shots, in sequential numbering, reset for each folder.
In order to get them all in a row, I use a 0-based prefix for each folder.
So pictures IMG001.JPG, IMG002.JPG, etc from the first folder become 0IMG001.JPG, 0IMG002.JPG, etc.
YMMV :-)
eg. for file in *.JPG; do mv "${file}" "0${file}"; done
mogrify -verbose -resize 1920x1277 *.JPG
mogrify -verbose -crop 1920x1080+0+0 *.JPG
ls *.JPG > jpegs.txt
