Kdenlive plays to its strengths when editing larger video projects and also helps users create appealing slideshows with impressive effects.
Granted, at first glance, it seems like total overkill to create a slideshow with a video editing program. But if you take a closer look, there are good reasons to do so.
It is true that even simple programs such as Imagination [1] let you create slideshows relatively quickly from a series of images. Many transitions are available, and zooming is pretty easy.
