I'm using this code to create a timelapse from a directory of images. My directory has about 1600 jpgs in it that all start with the date in this format 2020-03-01-time.jpg, 2020-03-02-time-name.jpg, etc. Sorting alphabetically works just fine. It runs, but it seems to only get through a few hundred photos and makes a 3 second long mp4. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I'm not opposed to moving to python or anything else. Eventually I'll need to pass some parameters in here and I'll attempt to automate it and ftp the output to a webserver.
Here is the command:
ffmpeg -r 24 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -s hd1080 -vcodec libx264 timelapse.mp4
Here is the output:

I am following these instructions regarding capturing and converting video from a Wear OS device, and I am running into problems. I get a video and I can tell it is my screen but it seems to be warped. This should be a green check with some white text.
There is a lot of noise when I run this:
ffmpeg -f rawvideo -vcodec rawvideo -s 400x400 -pix_fmt rgb24 -r 10 -i video.raw -an -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p video.mp4

Any ideas?
I'm simply trying to put some images together into a video with specific durations. I'm using the command
ffmpeg -f concat -i concat.txt -r 30 video.mp4
# concat.txt
file capture12.png
duration 1
file capture57.png
duration 3
file capture156.png
duration 7
file capture234.png
duration 5
file capture272.png
duration 3

I can see it clearly saying Duration 00:00:19.00 (as it should be) and then later saying that the final video is 00:00:20.86. How do I get these numbers to match?
When forming a video from a list of images, -r is not reliable.
You'll have to make two changes:
duplicate the last image entry in the concat list,
# concat.txt
file capture12.png
duration 1
file capture57.png
duration 3
file capture156.png
duration 7
file capture234.png
duration 5
file capture272.png
duration 3
file capture272.png
and use the fps filter to change framerate.
ffmpeg -f concat -i concat.txt -vf fps=30 video.mp4
I wanted to create an .mp4 video with a framerate of 1 fps out of 10 images. I followed https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Slideshow and got to (my images are in the folder I am running the command from and are name img000.png, img001.png, etc.)
path_to_ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -framerate 1 -i img%03d.png output.mp4
However only the first image is taken to the video and it only shows one image!
After trying multiple permutations of -framerate and -r options and positions of the options, I did not recieve any better results.
Does anyone know what might have gone wrong even in this simple case? Thanks.

Older versions of VLC couldn't play videos with framerates 5 or lower. Add -r 6 to correct for that. Also, you may want to add -pix_fmt yuv420p for wide playback compatibility.
Version information
fluent-ffmpeg version: 2.1.2
ffmpeg version: 3.4.2
OS: Windows 10
Code to reproduce
ffmpeg('C:/path/to/list.txt').mergeToFile('C:/path/to/out.mp4', 'C:/path/to/temp');
list.txt:
file 'C:/path/to/chunk01.ts'
file 'C:/path/to/chunk02.ts'
file 'C:/path/to/chunk03.ts'
file 'C:/path/to/chunk04.ts'
Note: I've tried both absolute and relative paths, with the same result.
Expected results
A video file at C:/path/to/out.mp4 that matches the 4 files in list.txt, concatenated end-to-end.
Observed results
An empty file at C:/path/to/out.mp4 with 0 duration and only 15kB in size. No errors were thrown.
This is the command that I'm trying to duplicate (it works as expected, with relative paths in list.txt):
C:/path/to> ffmpeg -f concat -i list.txt -c copy out.ts
stdout & stderr
stdout was empty. stderr is copied below (with file names modified to match the ones above):

Add ffconcat version 1.0 to the start of your text file i.e.
ffconcat version 1.0
file 'C:/path/to/chunk01.ts'
file 'C:/path/to/chunk02.ts'
...
Alternatively, this is the modified cmd with the existing text file, but I'm not well-acquainted with fluent-ffmpeg.
ffmpeg('C:/path/to/list.txt').inputFormat('concat').mergeToFile('C:/path/to/out.mp4', 'C:/path/to/temp');

and a output.mp4. When I run this file, it ends immediately without showing any images. I don't see any errors or problems in the code, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Do I need to increase the video framerate or something else?
Some players have troubles with low framerates. Also, the pixel format may not be supported by the player.
Use
ffmpeg -framerate 1/5 -i image-%03d.JPG -r 5 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
