[FFmpeg-user] Converting images to video using ffmpeg. Is external morphing needed?

[Peter Tap]

Folks,

I have to process some static images into an mp4 video. An article on the internet mentions that, before running ffmpeg/avconv, it is better to run "convert" utility from ImageMagick and create morphed images. The next step would be to run the morphed images through ffmpeg.

I am wondering if this step is really necessary. Isn't it the job of the libx264 encoder to do this anyway?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter
