We do not provide support for scripts here.

1. Option placement location matters: options generally get applied to
the following input or output.

2. "-framerate" is an image demuxer option (among others), not a libx264
private option or general encoding option.

If you want 60 frames per second move "-framerate 60" before "-i
folder.jpg". However, I'm not sure why you need 60 fps for a video of a
still image.

The "-f image2" is superfluous here.

Screenshots should be avoided: the console output should be copied and
pasted instead.
