That's completely unfair. Noone knows, so attempting statistics is illogical. This applies to pictures, videos, and witness accounts.
A picture can be a real ufo, at the same time a secret military craft.
It can be a hoax. It can be an accident (smudge), it could be a frisbee or it could be a real freagin flying saucer. Noone knows.
Same applies to videos. So what's the ratio of hoaxes?
I've heard numbers thrown around, like only 1% of reported ufo sightings are hoaxes, but even that is meaningless.
Does that apply to "reported" sightings only? Pictures too?
So, in general my opinion is that yes, most of the pictures/videos are not real space travelling crafts and or their occupants.
We can say this because many of the pictures and videos circulating around are known, for example their creators have admitted to creating them.
But take the now infamous Ray Santilli roswell video. No one knows
for sure but alot of people claim that it is a fraud.
