Your timing is spot on, as far as I'm concerned.
Starting today, I've been looking for the same sort of thing, as I need to make a slideshow for the family.
A google search led me to a video tutorial
here (which I've just finished watching) and it makes the process reasonably straightforward.
There may be better tutorials around, the sound quality isn't fantastic, but I think it will do the job. For me, anyway. Maybe for you too.
