add multiple images to a video using aws mediaconvert

Question

I'm trying to add images to a video using mediaconvert. I used mediaconvert graphic overlay/ image inserter to perform this task. However, the image is overriding the given video in the output for the given duration. I want the image to be still at first and then start the video from the beginning if I add an image and similarly for the rest of the images. Can this be done by using aws-mediaconvert?

Answer 1

Overlays are normally used for things like watermarks and logos or simple sports scores/news tickers etc. Images you want to appear over the top of the video.

You could create a clip of blank video to insert into your output, then apply the overlay to just that?

Another option is to convert the image to a video yourself with ffmpeg and insert that into your output?
