How to convert a single Image to MP4 Video?

Question

How to convert a single image to mp4 video.

For example, I need to play the same image for 20 seconds (duration will be dynamic)

I know it's possible with ffmpeg. I searched in google & SO but unfortunately, I am not able to find the correct tutorial.

I just want a correct direction.

Any comment or suggestion is welcome.

Is it not suitable just to draw the image on the surface or even literally switch to an imageview temporarily. Do you definitely want to create a video for this? — Nick Cardoso, Aug 17 '18 at 12:09

Basic syntax is

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image -pix_fmt yuv420p -t 20 out.mp4

The -t option sets the time, in seconds.

You can always use any video edit like windows movie maker. Just add the photo to a project change the duration to 20 seconds and export And then you have a 20 second video file of one image
