I have five *.jpeg image files: m01.jpeg to m05.jpeg.
I'd like to make a video of a sequence of these five images and upload it to Prezi to use in a presentation.
FFMPEG seems to be the tool for the job here. I am generating a video using the following command:
ffmpeg -r 2 -i m%02d.jpeg -pix_fmt yuvj420p myvideo.mp4
This generates a video that I can play fine locally. Unfortunately, when I try to upload the video to Prezi, I always get the following error...
"Technical details: id: 2110 the reason is: Event [Event type="stateChange" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]"
...which isn't particularly informative.
If I upload a sample MP4 from the web to Prezi, it works fine.
My question: Does anybody know what I need to give FFMPEG as parameters here so that it will generate a Prezi-compatible video from these images?
EDIT: As requested, here's the complete console output for FFMPEG. Unfortunately there are no glaring warnings or errors that I can see.

Make sure to use a "standard" frame rate and a compatible chroma subsampling scheme:
ffmpeg -framerate 2 -i m%02d.jpeg -r 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v baseline -movflags +faststart output.mp4
Options:
-framerate 2 Set input frame rate to 2. Note that the image demuxer uses -framerate instead of -r.
-r 25 Set the output frame rate to 25.
-pix_fmt yuv420p Ensures 4:2:0 chroma subsampling.
-profile:v baseline Use Baseline H.264 profile. Possibly not needed for Prezi.
-movflags +faststart For playback via progressive download–allows video to begin playback before file is completely downloaded. Possibly not needed for Prezi, but does not harm anything to include it.
