I don’t know from the start how many images will go in the slideshow: I have a selection I start with, but add and subtract and change slides’ order multiple times as I go along. Same for length of single slide and length of transition.

You will want a different workflow if you use Shotcut.

Here is what I suggest:

1. Put all the images in the playlist
2. Use the playlist to put the images in order (did you know you can “play” the playlist?) and remove images
3. When you feel good about the number and order of images, select them all and launch the slideshow generator
4. Choose the transition settings and duration
5. Generate the slideshow
6. What to change something? Delete the entire slideshow and go back to #2 above.
7. Keep regenerating the slideshow until you are happy with the result
