You want a constant standard framerate,  if you need the image to change
at specific times, work out the framerate and use multiple copies of the
same image (hard links).  Most video formats only store the changes
between frames so this shouldn't result in massive video files.  When I
made the animation of the slashdotting[1] the video wouldn't play
because the framerate was non-standard.
