abarbarian Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I have a load of pictures I would like to turn into a video. Sort of like a running slide show. Show a picture for a few seconds then move on to the next one etc etc. Â Obviously the program would need to run on a linux os. Any ideas folks ? Quote
securitybreach Posted October 17 Posted October 17 Check out Kdenlive app https://kdenlive.org/en/ Quote
Hedon James Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I second Kdenlive. FFMPEG is the tool for this, so anything using that tool on the backend is probably good. Another option is probably Avidemux.  Alternatively, does it have to be a video/movie format? What you're describing lends itself well to a "PowerPoint" presentation, so maybe LibreOffice Impress would work for you....setting the duration of display for each, and the transitions between. FWIW... 2 Quote
raymac46 Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I've done this a couple of times using Impress. It works OK. 2 Quote

It's been a while since I've made a slideshow and burned it to a DVD. Now if I do make a simple vid, I just upload it to YouTube. 2 Quote

I have no KDE stuff on my arch set up at all.  18 hours ago, Hedon James said: Alternatively, does it have to be a video/movie format?  Yup. I want to make a you tube vid.  17 hours ago, wa4chq said: I used Imagination. Pretty good. I also did it from the CLI.  That looks like my sort of program. Only six dependencies and there is a AUR offering, but it has not been updated since 2020.  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/imagination  The AUR ofering of imagination installs and runs. So I will test it out and report back later on.  Thanks folks.  1 Quote

I meant that the AUR offering had not been updated since 2020. I have installed it and it runs but I have not done anything with it yet. 1 Quote
