App to make a video from photos?

ffDiaporama Movie Creator seems to be another excellent option for your needs.

From the site:

ffDiaporama is an application for creating video sequences consisting of

  • titles, fixed or animated.
  • images or photos, fixed or animated.
  • movie clips
  • music

These sequences are assembled into a slide show by means of transitions of sequence to produce complete videos

The following options are available:

  • Refocusing of images and photos
  • Cutting of video clips
  • Notes (addition of text) for images, photos, sequences and animations
  • Graphical filters on the images and the videos (conversion into black and white, dust removal, equalization of colors, etc.)
  • Creation of animation by zoom, rotation or Ken Burns Effect on images or photos
  • Correction of the images and the videos during animations (luminosity, contrast, gamma, colors, etc.)
  • Transitions between sequences with definition of the transition type, sequence by sequence.
  • Addition of a background sound (wav, mp3 or ogg) with customizable effects for volume, fade in/out and passage in pause, sequence by
    sequence.
  • Generation of usable videos for most current video equipment (DVD player/smartphone, multimedia box, hard drive, etc.) but also
    publishable on the main video-sharing Websites (YouTube, Dailymotion, etc.)
  • Video formats from QVGA (320×240) to Full HD (1920×1080) by way of the DVD and HD 720 formats.
  • Image geometry (aspect ratio) : 4:3, 16:9 or 2.35:1 (cinema)
  • Possible formats for rendering : avi, mpg, mp4, mkv

Here are a couple of screenshots from my desktop:

enter image description here This is the main GUI with the timeline and all the toolbars shown.

enter image description here This is the "Slide Properties" Window, on which you can define certain parameters, such as the slide duration, pan, crop and other properties. You can access this feature by double-clicking on the slide when in the timeline.

You may also wish to take a look at this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/124848/9598 on which I explain a way to do some pro-style videos with kdenlive

Good luck!


Another option is OpenShot video editor. It is in the repositories.

File > Import Image Sequence

You could try stopmotion, it's in the repository. Also Luciole which is in the repositories. Couldn't really find anything else about stop motion.
