Thank you Leo, Michael, Ronnie, your info was very helpful. Michael's link to the crossfading part worked very nicely, and with -loop 1 and -shortest, the result repeats the images until the audio runs out. It seems that -loop takes a boolean, not a duration, at least that's what happened for me, but the loop instruction was also critical to keeping the show going until the audio file ran out.
Much appreciate all your help, thank you, Cheers, Simon On Sat, Feb 19, 2022 at 11:05 AM Michael Koch <astroelectro...@t-online.de> wrote: > Am 19.02.2022 um 18:14 schrieb Simon Roberts: > > Hi all, I would like to create a video sequence built around a number of > > still images.
