I recently tried to do the same, I opt-ed to use OpenShot (v1.4.3 on
Xubuntu), that was until I found a bug which did not sync the sound
track to the slide show. Apparently a new version is due out soon
although it was not confirmed if the new version will resolve the issue.

There was a product I used several years ago but for the life of me I
cant remember the name of it and have not been able to find it. I will
be watching this thread with interest.
