--scale     SCALE    Minimum count of images per row on the mapped image. Default is 100 (Might be automatically scaled up)
--size      SIZE     Resolution of the output image. Default is 1 (Resolution = size^2 * Input-Image-Resolution)
--crop      CROP     Crop images. Default is True
--orig      ORIG     Should target image appear in smaller images. Default is False
--wmark     WMARK    Should watermark be added. Default is False

Examples could look like this:

--midx      MIDX     Select x value of the center point. Default is the middle of the width
--midy      MIDY     Select y value of the center point. Default is the middle of the height

Important: resx & resy should be in the same format as the source image

Examples could look like this:

python conzooming_generate_mp4_from_mosaic.py --img "C:\Users\peter\Desktop\images\mosaicimage.jpg" --resx 720 --resy 720
python conzooming_generate_mp4_from_mosaic.py --img "C:\Users\peter\Desktop\images\mosaicimage.jpg" --resx 1000 --resy 1000 --zoom 20 --zrev True --ztime 10  --prev True
