Note: I have a few days ( 3-4 ) of experience with using FFmpeg, and I do
not fully understand the commands I mention here ( most of them are from
stack overflow forums - I do not have those links bookmarked ).

I wanted to generate a 30-second video, with 16:9 aspect ratio, from a set
of images and an audio with blend + zoom and pan effect.

Started this by just generating slide show of images from the video

**Slideshow of images**

    ffmpeg -framerate 1/4 -start_number 1 -i 164470_%d.jpg -c:v libx264 -r
> 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf scale=16:9 out.mp4


Then, tried adding an audio to the video, and this is the command I used.

    ffmpeg -framerate 1/4 -start_number 1 -i 164470_%d.jpg -i audio.wav
> -c:v libx264 -tune stillimage -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:a 192k
> -pix_fmt yuv420p -shortest outWithAudioNew.mp4


With this command, I was able to create the video with zoom and pan
effects. It did not cycle through the images, though.

    ffmpeg \
>     -framerate 1/4 -start_number 1 -i 164470_%d.jpg \
>     -vf "zoompan=z='if(lte(zoom,1.0),1.5,max(1.001,zoom-0.0015))':d=125" \
>     -c:v libx264 -t 30 -s "800x450" outWithZoom.mp4



**To add in a blend effect I used this command:**

    ffmpeg \

>     -loop 1 -t 5 -i 164470_3.jpg \

> if(gte(T,1.5),1,T/1.5)))'[b1v]; \
>     [2:v][1:v]blend=all_expr='A*(if(gte(T,1.5),1,T/1.5))+B*(1-(
> if(gte(T,1.5),1,T/1.5)))'[b2v]; \
>     [3:v][2:v]blend=all_expr='A*(if(gte(T,1.5),1,T/1.5))+B*(1-(
> if(gte(T,1.5),1,T/1.5)))'[b3v]; \
>     [0:v][b1v][1:v][b2v][2:v][b3v][3:v]concat=n=7,format=yuv420p[v]" \
>     -map "[v]" -aspect 16:9 outWithFasterBlend.mp4


This particular post is from where I got the command to create a video with
blend effect.

This command did not work out, I am not sure why. Here is the output:

So now, I want to be able to do all of this in one command. Summarizing
what I need in the video:
1. 30-second video with blend and zoom + pan effect.
2. Audio
3. And each image in the video must get an equal amount of time. If 5
images, then each image must last for about 6 seconds.
4. The aspect ratio of the video should be 16:9.

Not all the images I use have the same resolution, can FFmpeg work with
such images? Or I need to work on those images to have the same resolution
