Tips for making a "movie" out of many still photos

Hello,
In response to your question about the slideshow, here are some rules to follow.
For more than ten years I practiced the “Slide show” with Proshow who went bankrupt.
The main rule is no more than 6 to 7 minutes long, a show that is too long diverts the viewer’s attention and opens the door to conversations.
Transitions yes but moderately, it is the default of beginners is to put too many transitions.
Each view should not exceed 2 to 3 seconds except reading a text or explanations on a given view.
Not too much zooming or de-zooming, give life or movement to a view with judicious movements.
The music gives the atmosphere is the most important point in its choice and it is not easy to find the right music.
You must first create a story board to give the editing a meaning to the story that you want to convey to the viewer.
It is also necessary to intersperse cinematographic videos with the images to give interest to the editing.
Here are some basic tips, there are many more.
Shotcut is very well designed for this kind of editing, I don’t regret
to have abandoned Proshow which was very efficient and at the top in its category, now with Shotcut I discover another universe that of the video which is another very interesting world and I thank its designers and all those who participate in its development. point without forgetting the authors of tutorials and the followers of the forum who give advice on its subject and answer generously to the questions asked.
cordially
