#164181 — recommendation for software to make mp4 from a few stils (+ audio track)

Could anybody please recommend a piece of free software that can take
a few still images together with an audio track and make an mp4 with
them?

(So i guess it is conceptually something that could produce a timed
slide show, but of course if it offered effects for transition from
one image to the next that would be better.)

Command line or gui would be fine, but i would like something whose
sources were available so that if necessary i could tune it.

Thanks in advance for any clues.

I have received from friends, some very impressive such work, composed in 
OOo Presenter or a similar name.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

there are tons of programs to do so, beginning with probably any video 
linear editor, for example kdenlive

search for "slideshow"

I've seen a few people here speaking well of openshot (open-source and
in the package archive).

Hypertext--or should I say the ideology of hypertext?--is ultrademocratic and
so entirely in harmony with the demagogic appeals to cultural democracy that
accompany (and distract one’s attention from) the ever-tightening grip of plutocratic 
capitalism. - Susan Sontag

You could use Blender, but it might be overkill for a slideshow and the
learning curve might be a bit steep if you haven't used it before.

You could also use ffmpeg from the command line:

Thanks Sven, and Curt, JDD, and Gene.

All these leads look promising, and kdenlive certainly does have
slideshows right on its menu (and there's a youtube video
about how to do it as well).

(My actual investigation was kind of lame: i looked up video editor
in the wikipedia, and saw there were at least 17 in the free world,
and thought somebody on the list would instantly know the
direction to take.  But actually, i suppose i could have just
chosen one at random --- although i would not have heard
about Presenter, which i don't think is on the list.  Anyhow
i appreciate all your help!!)

I recommend OpenShot. It is libre and in the repository.
