My nifty Canon Powershot A80 has a feature which will take photos at a
specified interval. I'd like to turn a stream of these photos into a
movie that can be edited. Is there any freeware that will let me do this
painlessly?

Either a program that just takes a bunch of numbered photos and makes an
avi or a comprehensive program designed around this task (complete with
timelines, transitions, etc.) will do nicely.

thanks!

Google for SSMM (Slide Show Movie Maker). I think it will fit the bill
for you.

If you're on Windows XP, check out Microsoft Photo Story 3:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx

If you have trouble with that link due to wrapping, check out the
shorter version:

It's an amazingly good tool that Microsoft has released for free. A
good review can be found here:
