HELLO ALL,

I need to make 2 videos using still pictures for a presentation for a client.  Before I abandoned the other software Creative Suite, its seems they had video software, but I cant remember.  What do you recommend for this type of project?

stick with creative suite (Premiere) if you have it. Affinity does not have nor intends to pursue video editing. If you have no experience video editing, you might want to just use the quick one from your OS maker.

Real steep learning curve but DaVinci Resolve is free and cross platform and there are all sorts of Youtube tutorials.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Since you seem to be using a Mac (according to your forum posts history), just go with iMovie.
It's simple enough for an absolute newbie, and good enough – albeit not necessarily fast – to edit even quite complex multi-camera shots. I've already done several live videos for my bands with iMovie, shot with up to four different iPhones. With no previous video editing experience, aside from trimming TV recordings years ago… :)

Another possibility - depending on the job requirements and your own experience/skills - could be to use either PowerPoint or Keynote to produce the presentations.  (Optionally, produce some of your graphics using either Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer.)  Then, using the timings set in the presentation - along with any fancy transitions between slides - export to movie/video…

There's also CapCut? And if you want to go OSS, there's plenty of simple or more advanced apps available. Heck, even Blender has a dedicated video editor built in ;)
