Creating video with irregular framerate?

Hi,

I have an animation that has images appearing at irregular time stamps (e.g. Img1 at 0.4s, Img2 0.6, Img3 0.9, Img4 1.0) and I'd like to export a video file from it. Unfortunately writeVideo doesn't let me adjust the framerate with every frame.

Is there any way for me to export such a video file?

Thanks!

No, the usual way is to just keep writing the same frame until the timecode for the next frame.

You could look at a tool such as HandBrake which can handle VFR (Variable Frame Rate). I did not look at it much, but such transcoders frequently include a feature to build videos from files of images.

Note: you would need to test whether your target players will play VFR video.

Oh! that's a great suggestion, thank you!
