​I'm curious, ​it seem that you're piping the images into the ffmpeg
process, so I'm tempted to say you need to specify the framerate in the
command line. However, on a recent ffmpeg version it simply defaults to 25.
​Obviously setting such high probesize is probably never useful anyway...​

​To begin with, the full command and output log would be useful. Preferably
a minimal working example if you have a really complex filter. The problem
might be on the way you provide the source images to ffmpeg (just a hunch).​
