As the name suggests, 'Picture2avi' will create an AVI file from the pictures you select. It looks like the number of selected pictures is unlimited. The number of features is small but, considering that this is a beta version, this is a fact that could change until the final release.
The program has a nice structure though. It's very easy to work with it because there are no complicated menus. In fact, there are no menus at all. All its features are listed on the user interface near to the list of selected files. After you select the pictures, you can arrange them in a desired order and set the frame count and that's all.
In the shareware version the number of frames is identical for all the pictures but in the paid one you can modify it individually. In my opinion, it looks like a slide-show but you can't insert transition effects. I hope that they will add such a feature in the trial version. The progress bar under the 'Make clip!' button should be redesigned because it doesn't look good in that place. The number of features should be increased or else it won't be worth paying for it.
Pluses: It is very easy to use.
Drawbacks / flaws: Too few features.
In conclusion: I look forward for the final release and I hope to see some improvements.
