cat *.jpg | ffmpeg -framerate 1 -f image2pipe -i - -c:v libsvtav1 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p output_video.mp4


# Where:
#
#     in cat:
#         *.jpg             means input file names (only jpg files are read)
#     in ffmpeg:
#         -framerate 1      means used 1 picture per 1 second
#         -f image2pipe     means input images to pipe conversion (pipe is created from images sequence)
#         -i -              means STDIN using as process input (images are provided by cat command)
#         -c:v libsvtav1    means used encoder name
#         -r 30             means video frames per second (so in our case one image will be repeated 30 times per second)
#         -pix_fmt yuv420p  means images encoding using YUV 4:2:0 in video frames (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling)
#         output_video.mp4  means output file name
