Ffmpeg generated movie (png -> mp4) has no video - ffmpeg

I have a whole bunch of png's which I would like to convert into a mp4 video.
I am using the following command to stich them together:
ffmpeg -i _2016-04-20_14-51-00-500_%06d.png -pix_fmt yuv420p movie.mp4
I am getting a file, which has a size so it isn't empty. But when I play it in VLC or Quicktime it shows the time going by, but it has no video in it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I also tried:
ffmpeg -framerate 1/5 -i _2016-04-20_14-51-00-500_%06d.png -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
and
ffmpeg -r 45 -f image2 -s 1920x1080 -i _2016-04-20_14-51-00-500_%06d.png -vcodec libx264 -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p test.mp4
But still no video.
This is the commandline output:
>ffmpeg -i _2016-04-20_14-51-00-500_%06d.png -pix_fmt yuv420p movie.mp4

I tried with the following command and it works. The command is
ffmpeg -framerate 1 -f image2 -i img%06d.png -r 25 -vcodec libx264 -crf 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4
-framerate 1: An image have 1s in the resultant video
-r 25: The framerate of the resultant video
-crf 25: quality of the resultant video (if you want it to get better, take a less value - but it is advice not to go under 18)
An ensure that your images are well numbered (img000001.png, ... img000009.png, img000010.png -> img%06d.png)

Bad output from ffmpeg running on raw video from Wear OS device

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?

ffmpeg convert cdg/mp3 to mp4 but cdg track is always sped up by a second

I've tried this:
"C:\Program Files\ffmpeg-4.2.1-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg" -i %1 -i %2 -b:v 1M -y -speed 2 "%~dpn1.mp4"
"C:\Program Files\ffmpeg-4.2.1-win64-static\bin\ffmpeg" -i %1 -i %2 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vcodec libx264 -async 1 -speed 2 "%~dpn1.mp4"
Always same result. The file and quality are great, but obv since its karaoke... the lyrics need to match the timing and the converted files lyrics track is always about a full second or so ahead from when I play the original in a Karaoke program. Any ideas on what settings I could play with to help with this?
Both the original and the converted have the same play length at the end though. so the mp3 track seems to be ok.
EDIT: Added cmd output

Codec AVOption speed () specified for output file #0 (LP_inTheEnd.mp4) has not been used for any stream. The most likely reason is either wrong type (e.g. a video option with no video streams) or that it is a private option of some encoder which was not actually used for any stream.

that's your original command (though without the windows-specific bits) adjusted with a timestamp offset of 1 on the video and zero on the audio, so that the video should delay one second but the audio should not.

FFMPEG 'Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file' error Windows

I am trying to make a short video in FFMPEG, where a word stays on screen for the duration of the video (0.5s). My FFMPEG code looks like this:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=c=white:s=320x240:d=0.5 -vf "drawtext=fontfile= ‘c\:\Windows\fonts\calibri.ttf':fontsize=18: fontcolor=black:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2:text='word'" output.mp4
However, I keep getting the following error (see below for full output):
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
[Parsed_drawtext_0 # 000001c2918cef00] Using "C:/Windows/fonts/mingliub.ttc"
I figured it had something to do with the path to the font file. I also tried copying the font file to my FFMPEG map and map the font path to the FFMPEG directory:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=c=white:s=320x240:d=0.5 -vf
"drawtext=fontfile=‘C:\FFMPEG\bin\calibri.ttf':fontsize=18:
fontcolor=black:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2:text='word'" output.mp4'
This doesn't work either. I do get an output video.mp4 video, but the font is wrong. Here is the full output I get. It is the same for both code examples above:
c:\FFMPEG\bin>ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=c=white:s=320x240:d=0.5 -vf "drawtext=fontfile= ‘c\\:\\\Windows\\\fonts\\\calibri.ttf':fontsize=18: fontcolor=black:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2:text='word'" output.mp4

2019 Windows builds seem to have changed syntax or something again; here's what works for me today:
-vf "drawtext=fontfile=C\\:/Windows/fonts/consola.ttf:fontsize=72:fontcolor='white':timecode='00\:00\:00\:00':rate=25:text='TCR\:':boxcolor=0x000000AA:box=1:x=860-text_w/2:y=960"
In my case, I'm running FFmpeg from PWD not C: so I have to specify font path C:\ with escaped colon and forward-slash for path.
SOLVED! Apparently the problem was that the path to the font cannot contain a semicolon (i.e., "C:/". The code that worked is:
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=c=white:s=320x240:d=0.5 -vf “drawtext=fontfile= /Windows/fonts/calibri.ttf:fontsize=18: fontcolor=black:x=(w-text_w)/2:y=(h-text_h)/2:text=word” output.mp4
If you are trying to get the font using script/program, you should additionally escape backslashes.This path worked for me:
const FONT_FILE = 'C\\\\:/Windows/Fonts/arial.ttf';

ffmpeg video slideshow only takes first image

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.

FFMPEG: create movie from timestamped images

Im trying to make a small movie file from a folder with webcam images.
They are named like this:
00-00-38.jpg
00-05-37.jpg
00-10-37.jpg
00-15-37.jpg
H-M-S.jpg format
Although i tried patterntype glob and simpler commands i cannot get it to work.
This is what i tried:
ffmpeg -r 1 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -scale=720:-1 -c:v libx264 out.mp4
(got only one image)
ffmpeg -r 25 -i *.jpg -vf "scale=720:-1" output.mp4
(same size as a jpg file but no video)
Console output:
ffmpeg -framerate 1 -pattern_type glob -i "*.jpg" -vf scale=720:-1 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4

The video is 364KB without any video.
Try this:
ffmpeg -framerate 1 -pattern_type glob -i "*.jpg" -vf scale=720:-1 -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
If that doesn't work for you, include the exact command you used and the full console output indicating what is wrong.
I've always done something along the lines of:
a=0
for i in *.jpg; do
new=$(printf "/home/Movies/jpgs/%04d.jpg" "$a")
cp -f "$i" "$new"
let a=a+1
done
to get the files in the right order, anything else breaks the encoding as soon as the input numbers are non-monotonic.
