[Bug 439620] Re: batch job import system for image sequences and slide shows

 

MLT natively supports image sequences and folders of images by filename
extension. Neither of these require a companion text file. To see what I
mean, given the above example: melt img%02d.png. It is important to
follow printf-style format string rules. The 0 in that pattern is
extremely important. To load all JPEGs in a folder: melt
folder/.all.jpg.

See mlt/demo/mlt_slideshow for an example of how to set the duration of a slide and apply a transition between each slide.
See also Kdenlive's abilty to leverage this capability.

Bug description:
Hi

I have 50 png images and want to create a movie with them. I know how many seconds each image should be displayed for.

Is there some way I can load a text/csv file with

img00.png, duration0
img01.png, duration1
img0n.png, durationn

Such that Openshot imports the images and creates a timeline of images with sequence and durations as per the text/csv file?
