I like simple single-purpose programs like this, but after trying it I think it falls short. I tried just taking a photo of our house in the snow and adding animated snowfall and background music. The photo drag-and-drop into the import dialog box didn’t work, had to use the file browser. The imported photo didn’t zoom to fit automatically, and there wasn’t a one-button zoom-to-fit. The default snow animation was lame, and it was a bit difficult to adjust. The animation settings didn’t save properly with the project. Background music had to be in .wav format, couldn’t accept mp3. Export to video file only allowed avi format with whatever default codecs were installed. The snow animation effect wasn’t right in the exported video (way different than shown in the preview), and the animation froze a few seconds into the video. Tried with different codecs and resolutions, same thing. Animated GIF export worked, but of course no sound. So my evaluation is that it has too many limitations and bugs to be useful.
