Yes, basically, from a controlling shell. I was thinking of that which
it maps to in Unix terms: SIGSTOP and SIGCONT.

So in your script which handles the images:

$ pkill -STOP ffmpeg
or
$ pkill -19 ffmpeg
(or kill -19 $ffmpeg_pid)
$ pkill -CONT ffmpeg
or
$ pkill -18 ffmpeg

Good luck and let us (or ffmpeg-user) know.
