Yeah, Blender is like that. If nothing else works out, I can write up a
mini-tutorial that wouldn't require much knowledge of the program. (The process
basically amounts to overriding normal rendering by using the compositor to load
a series of images.)

I can't remember why I stopped trying to use ffmpeg for this, but there was some
impediment. I've used Gimp in the past to stitch frames together and then export
a .gif but the whole process is brutal, especially when the images fall out of
order and you have to manually drag the layers...

Krita is also an option, if you have that. It supports importing images as
layers and exporting animations.
