===Convert image sequence to mp4 at *20 CRF quality===


  ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i //**export**//_v02.%04d.jpg -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -**crf** 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p [export]//_v02.mp4

**__ Constant Rate Factor: __**

//The range of the CRF scale is 0–51, where 0 is lossless, 23 is the default, and 51 is worst quality possible. A lower value generally leads to higher quality, and a subjectively sane range is 17–28. Consider 17 or 18 to be visually lossless or nearly so; it should look the same or nearly the same as the input but it isn't technically lossless.

The range is exponential, so increasing the CRF value +6 results in roughly half the bitrate / file size, while -6 leads to roughly twice the bitrate.

Choose the highest CRF value that still provides an acceptable quality. If the output looks good, then try a higher value. If it looks bad, choose a lower value.//
