Pecha Kucha - my quick review

 https://www.pechakucha.com/ is a web app for creating videos from pictures. You upload some pictures, voice-record every picture (slide), and then click create. The beta video creator doesn't have any other editing functions. 

Hence, it doesn't trump the more modern apps for creating videos from pictures. Pecha Kucha distinguishes itself as follows: 

1. The number of pictures you can upload is fixed (e.g., 5, or 10, or 20). The audio narration duration for each slide is equivalent to the number of slides you have uploaded. Thus, if you have uploaded 5 pictures, you have 5 seconds for narrating each picture. This is fixed. But as such, this may be good for practising presentation skills, especially with regard to timing. 

2. Pecha Kucha is primarily for people who want to share their work with the public. There is a vibrant Pecha Kucha community which organises presentations events from time to time. 

Downside

3. Too rigid in terms of the number of pictures one can upload, and the duration for narrating each picture. 

4. The download video option is a paid function. 

5. There isn't an unlisted sharing option. (Default: public)
