ffmpeg -framerate 30 -pattern_type glob -i '*.JPG' -s hd1080 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 30fps_1080p_CRF18.mkv

# -framerate 30 -> 30fps; higher the frame rate ~ faster the action in timelapse

# -pattern_type glob -i '*.JPG' -> set the pattern type of the input file(s) to glob; single quotes in the file pattern
# so as to prevent the shell from expanding the glob pattern BEFORE ffmpeg ever gets it.
# Doing this: -i *.JPG will ruin the project. Doing this: -i '*.JPG' without pattern type set to glob will make ffmpeg
# complain about not finding the file.

# -s hd1080 -> 1080p video; other available ones: hd720, hd480
