Experiment time! I made this short video using the Picasa video tool - and now I can say... "not a big fan!"
Issues:
- It does not let me play with giving different photos different "air times" - especially the final credit one.
- The copy slides have terrible pre-sets.
- Moving photos around works in quite a demented fashion.
- Just in case there are solutions in the Picasa movie maker that address #1-#3 issues above, then Picasa is too difficult to figure out.
