FFmpeg - can't use -pattern_type option
I'm trying to use FFmpeg to create a video from a series of images, named snapshot-00001.jpg
, snapshot-00002.jpg
, and so on, by using the command ffmpeg -f image2 -r 10 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' output.mp4
. However, I'm faced with the error:
$ ffmpeg -f image2 -r 10 -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' output.mp4

Unrecognized option 'pattern_type'
Failed to set value 'glob' for option 'pattern_type'
I've just made a fresh FFmpeg install from here; I did sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
, followed by sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
, but still get the same error. Use of the option is stated on the manual here, but for some reason I can't use it.
EDIT: included full command line output.
The FFmpeg PPA supplies older versions, which may not have the option. Generally, it's not recommended to install ffmpeg from distribution packages – rather compile it yourself or download a static build from their homepage.
You don't necessarily have to use the glob patterns – an input file like ffmpeg -i 'snapshot-%05d.jpg' output.mp4
should also work.
