Imagination

Imagination is a lightweight and simple DVD slide show maker written in C language and built with the GTK+2 toolkit. I noticed a lack on the Linux platform of a user-friendly DVD slide show maker, so I started developing Imagination. True, there are some other GUIs which do the job, but they usually require a lot of dependencies to be installed first. Imagination has been designed from the ground up to be fast, light and easy-to-use. It requires the ffmpeg encoder ONLY to produce the movie file - to be burned to DVD then with another application. Yes you don't need any other third-party software, I like the KISS principle :)

Imagination at present features 26 transitions effects developed as plugins loaded at startup. Exporting of the slideshow as FLV format too is supported. No sound and Ken Burns effects yet but they are planned in future releases (sound may add another dependence...)
