PhotoMagico is great. But only available for Mac. I produced a DVD slideshow and sold to though our local tourist outlets for many years.

Photodex ProShow Gold and Proshow Producer are excellent programs that will perform the tasks you describe. The difference between them is that the Gold version has a library of canned motion effects, while the Producer version provides tools to make your own effects. The greater versatility of the Producer version comes with a big learning curve. Both versions have extensive online manuals. Both have large libraries of transitions. I started with the Gold version, and after a period of time, Photodex made a offer for an upgrade to Producer for a very reasonable price. I have now been through several updates, and I am very satisfied with Producer. Updates are free for a year, and if you get lucky, you could get the next full version as an update. I highly recommend these products.

Does anyone know what process or software is used ... (show quote)
The ultimate is probably ProShow Producer, that is what is used professionally for TV video program production. You might find Adult Ed Classes for it in your area.
With a lot of work MS-Powerpoint probably could be used. And music can by added, but at least the times I've tried it, it is next to impossible to sync it to the images and have it play back correctly on different computers.

Each iteration gets better. My Powerpoint presentations have synced music and play correctly on different computers, different phones, and different operating systems.

"old multi-image (slide show on steroids) producer ... we used to need a dozen slide projectors ..."
Best I ever saw had four slide projectors. Loved it. Best I ever had was a Bell and Howell that used cubes.

I was part of the Association for Multi-Image, and attended several of their national conventions. In 1983, over a 100 shows were in the competition in Orlando. Jim Richardson presented a two-projector, black-and-white show, that moved 800 people to tears and took home the Crystal AMI award, their highest honor. It was about Cuba, Kansas, and simply used great photos, simple narration, and quiet music to tell stories of small town life. *Reflections from a Wide Spot in the Road* https://www.jimrichardsonphotography.com/p/speaking
Among the shows that year were many 12-16 projector shows, and one 30-projector show that used three 16mm film projectors. Several others used video projection, which was terrible in those days.
It isn't about the medium, it's about the message. If the medium is the message, you don't really have a message, you have a mess. (That's a gentle poke at Marshall McLuhan)
I still have a Kodak Ektagraphic III AT slide projector with several accessories, but I haven't used it in decades.
