Looking for something to use on Windows for making slideshows in video playback format, not looking for anything flash or web based.

Windows Live Movie Maker has come a long way... and would work for the most part except for one thing. I seemingly have no way to control the pan-zoom effects/ken burns effects. Did I just completely overlook something here? I do, however, love the auto-fit slides to music.

If you've used iMove 09 (and I think the one before), you'll know what I'm talking about in terms of control. It allows for selecting which part of the photo to zoom in/out and whatever angle I want to come in/out from.

Anyone have any suggestions for me that are not ideally free, unless there's something else it does compellingly well. I have access to iMovie and will just use that, but my workflow is in Windows and would prefer it (or a LR plugin would be awesome, I didn't think of that)

Thanks for any suggestions
