Why we like it

Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter earns its spot in the Blender extensions library by keeping the frames-to-video step inside Blender itself. Version 1.0.3 focused on stability, fixing crashes that could remove installed extensions and adapting to Blender 5.0's API changes.

What is Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter?

Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter turns folders of rendered images into MP4 video files without leaving Blender. Point it at your render output folder, choose your settings, and click Stitch MP4 to export a finished video. It handles PNG, JPG, EXR, TIF, TGA, and BMP sequences.

Encoding runs through Blender's built-in FFmpeg encoder, with control over codecs such as H.264, AV1, and DNxHD, plus quality presets and color management options like AgX, Filmic, and Standard. Resolution can be set from presets including 1080p, 4K, and vertical, or with custom dimensions, and three fit methods — scale to fill, scale to fit, and stretch — control framing. The add-on syncs to your scene frame rate automatically.

It lives in the Image Editor sidebar Video Export tab, the Render Properties Video Stitcher panel, and an Image Editor header button. It requires Blender 5.0 or newer, with FFmpeg bundled by Blender, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

Frequently asked questions

Does Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter work with Blender 5.0?

Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter requires Blender 5.0 or newer. Version 1.0.3 addressed Blender 5.0 API changes, replacing the removed is_rendering attribute with file-based render detection that monitors output file existence and size. It also fixed crashes that could remove installed extensions, adding a modal operator to monitor render completion, timestamped temp scene names, and a cleanup tracker. FFmpeg comes bundled with Blender by default, so no separate installation is needed for encoding.

Does Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter need external video editors?

Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter runs entirely inside Blender using its built-in FFmpeg encoder, so no external video editors or the Video Sequencer are needed. You point it at a folder of rendered frames, set resolution and a fit method, then click Stitch MP4 to export the video automatically. FFmpeg ships with Blender by default, and the add-on gives control over codecs, quality settings, and color management from within the same session.

What image formats can Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter convert?

Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter supports PNG, JPG, EXR, TIF, TGA, and BMP image sequences. Point it at the folder containing your rendered frames, choose a resolution from presets like 1080p, 4K, or vertical, or set custom dimensions, then pick a fit method — scale to fill, scale to fit, or stretch. The add-on also syncs to your scene frame rate automatically, so the exported MP4 matches the timeline settings.

Where do I find Image Sequence to MP4 Video Converter in Blender?
