Video creation

[cytg111]

Its really as simple as that.
I need to create some simple video, h264.
A series of "still pictures", say all white, except for like 10x10 pixels that flash black and back to white again for the duration of the video. I'd need to record multiple vids where this 10x10 moves about.
I am sitting here looking at Blender tutorials and thinking that there has got to be a faster A->B than this?
? Maybe? .

You should be looking at ffmpeg tutorials.
Turn the 10x10 pixels as well as the white background into separate videos as long as the video you want to make, or the time you want them to flash in case of the pixels.

Overlay the pixels video to the position you want.

A little code to generate a series of images with a flickering blackbox and

ffmpeg -framerate $FRAMERATE -i "pic%d.png" output.mp4

... I got exactly what I want.

Thanks man.
