I would like to make a compilation of photos and videos for a good friend. It should become a personal gift.
I would also like to put music under it and maybe at the beginning insert an audio file.
Does anyone know good and free programs for laptop / PC or cell phone with which I get it?
Would be fine if it were not quite so complicated, because I have no experience in such.

Fonts can be displayed in completely different configurations. Images and audio from the hard drive can also be inserted. The same applies to text announcements via microphone. With various effects, the whole can be given a professional look. Inserted pictures can be made more dynamic with the zoom function. So you can quickly create a slideshow in the video format of your choice. German help makes it easy to find your way around the program.
Tip: If you want to continue using the program with limited features, uninstall VideoPad. This opens a window in which you set a dot, in "Use with limited functions continue".
