If you are using Kino 0.8.0, then the Video Filter/Superimpose does it. There 
is a hint next to the file entry widget that explains how to specify an image 
file sequence. The semantics of this assume some knowledge of printf-style 
formatting strings. For example, myanim-%04d.png assumes you are using 4 
digit numbers padded with zero. It supports the alpha in the PNG format, and 
it supports any format that gdk-pixbuf does (run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders in 
a terminal window to see).

Please be aware that Kino will assume you are working with square pixels in 
your image files and automatically resample to the ITU-R 601 non-square video 
pixels. Finally, only use field-based rendering if you plan to export to an 
interlaced format such as DV tape or DVD.
