I have a bunch of pictures I'd like to make into a basic slideshow, as a video (e.g. mpeg/avi). What software is available to do this?
I started using PiTiVi based on recommendation in another question, which seemed nice at first. However, it's very unstable – just crashed my whole system! Regardless, it won't let me do anything over 10 seconds because the timeline keeps jumping back to the start any time I try and move/resize a clip.
All I need is to fade between some images. Anything out there?

You can try imagination from the repository.
Imagination is a lightweight and user-friendly DVD slide show maker with a clean interface and few dependencies. It only requires the ffmpeg encoder to produce a movie to be burned with another application.
It currently features over 50 transition effects. Exporting the slideshow in FLV format is supported as well.
