Hello, I'm new to ImageMagick, but i think it's very usefull.

Here is the problem, i have multiple images video_*.png and keyboard_*.png
where * is a 6 digits number (starting from 000000)
Basically i want to put each keyboard_*.png (small image) inside video_*.png at position +107+429
The result would for example be called result_*.png

Here is what i found :
convert C:\...\video_000000.png -page +107+429 C:\...\keybo_000000.png -flatten C:\...\result_000000.png
composite -geometry +107+429 C:\...\keybo_000000.png C:\...\video_000000.png C:\...\result_000000.png
Those two methods works but only for one composition at a time :'(

I tried that :
convert C:\...\video_*.png -page +107+429 C:\...\keybo_*.png -flatten C:\...\result_%06d.png
composite -geometry +107+429 C:\...\keybo_*.png C:\...\video_*.png C:\...\result_%06d.png

The first only do the result for the last image, for some reason.
The second only copy the keyboard image, once.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks !

UP,
I still have the problem :'(
Nobody knows, really ?

Ok, i made a batch file, here is for people that might have the same problem, I use :

mkdir result
for %%f in (*.png) do P:\ImageMagick-6.3.6-Q16\composite -geometry +107+429 C:\...\keybo\%%f C:\...\%%f C:\...\result\%%f

Enjoy!

As you have the images and video separated into frames. a batch process is probably your best bet.

Some methods of batch processing are listed in

Also another method for animations is at

You can do this without using files from API's but you will need a LOT of memory to hold the whole video if you want to use that technique.
