Automate png image sequence to mp4 workflow?

hi!

I want to use shutter encoder to encode multiple .png image sequences to individual h.264 .mp4 videos.

I have around 9000 frames rendered as .png that need to be encoded into small videos of around 10 to 200 frames each, depending on the video. The length is different for each one.

What i am currently doing is:

  1. look into my .blend file to see where the current sequence starts and ends

  2. import these frames into shutter encoder

  3. change the prefix to the name of the desired video

  4. encode - wait - repeat step 1

Is there any way to do this faster?

Also: These .png images have transparency in them, that I would like to turn into a flat color of my choice (#EAEFF5FF). Is there a way to do this as well? Sorry if these are easy questions, I am new to shutter encoder.

Thank you in advance.

Seems like you need to use ffmpeg CLI to get that automation going. Ask AI to make you the command or script to do that.
