I currently try to make a movie out of images, but i could not find anything helpful .

Here is my code so far:

import time

from PIL import  ImageGrab

x =0

while True:
    try:
        x+= 1
        ImageGrab().grab().save('img{}.png'.format(str(x))
    except:
        movie = #Idontknow
        for _ in range(x):
            movie.save("img{}.png".format(str(_)))

movie.save()

Here is a minimal example using moviepy. For me this was the easiest solution.

import os
import moviepy.video.io.ImageSequenceClip
image_folder='folder_with_images'
fps=1

image_files = [os.path.join(image_folder,img)
               for img in os.listdir(image_folder)
               if img.endswith(".png")]
clip = moviepy.video.io.ImageSequenceClip.ImageSequenceClip(image_files, fps=fps)
clip.write_videofile('my_video.mp4')

I use the ffmpeg-python binding. You can find more information here.

import ffmpeg
(
    ffmpeg
    .input('/path/to/jpegs/*.jpg', pattern_type='glob', framerate=25)
    .output('movie.mp4')
    .run()
)

When using moviepy's ImageSequenceClip it is important that the images are in an ordered sequence.

While the documentation states that the frames can be ordered alphanumerically under the hood, I found this not to be the case.

So, if you are having problems, make sure to manually order the frames first.

@Wei Shan Lee (and others): Sure, my whole code looks like this

import os
import moviepy.video.io.ImageSequenceClip
from PIL import Image, ImageFile
ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES = True

image_files = []

for img_number in range(1,20): 
    image_files.append(path_to_images + 'image_folder/image_' + str(img_number) + '.png') 

fps = 30

clip = moviepy.video.io.ImageSequenceClip.ImageSequenceClip(image_files, fps=fps)
clip.write_videofile(path_to_videos + 'my_new_video.mp4')
