Movie Software Suggestion/Recommendation

️hi!
Hoping this kind of slideshow is what you had in mind.
Within CapCut I placed two photos one after the other on one track (over(or is it above?) my green background-track). This upper photo-track starts with a “pause” where only the background remains visible. Then comes the first photo, which is scaled and positioned randomly. As soon as it ends, there is another short pause. Now image #2 follows. Here, I’ve even added a fade-in and fade-out effect. Image #2 is also scaled and placed somewhat randomly...
(I’m including the YouTube link “How To Fade In and Fade Out” here)

By the way: when you add your text track, the individual text elements are edited almost exactly the same way as the other video content you've placed.
As I mentioned earlier, I avoid overly flashy effects—the kind that have always annoyed me, even in PowerPoint
Of course, the photos can also fill the entire screen. If you “lock” this state with a keyframe, then enlarge the photo to x times its original size, and set another keyframe a few seconds later, the finished video will give the impression that you're zooming deep into the image....

Well, I am making some progress. Here is a link to a video I just created and posted on YouTube. BSW Test 1
Yes, I still have a long way to go but at least this is a start. My plan is to expand this video a good bit. I have several more "slide" I want to add but it will take some time. The problem I had with the background seems to be solved (at least so far). I know I also need to add some keyframes and some other features. Let me know what you think of where I currently am.
I do not know where all of those other videos come from and I have not figured out how to all the viewer to replay the video I added.

Too bad—your video is private, so I can't view it. But I'm glad to hear you're making progress. -

Its public
Thanks for the verification @rich-o-brien.
I will have to move on with trying to learn more about learning CapCut. It seems like a pretty strong and versatile tool.

...I'm back from a little trip.
Congratulations on this successful test video edit. You've really incorporated quite a lot of CapCut tricks into it

If anyone is using CapCut (in particular the free version). I need some help.
I created a very small video and was able to upload it to YouTube. I then created a more important video that I want to share with certain individuals, but when I try to export/create the video I am getting messages trying to force me to the Pro version. Can anyone give me any advice or suggest other software to explore?

I think I solved the problem. It appears that I was using some features that are only available in the Pro version. For others, I had been using some animation of text. When I eliminated that, I can now generate a video.

...I figured as much, since I couldn't reproduce your error message from the previous post.
Less is more, but don't worry—even the free features are still way too extensive
(By the way, if you want animated text, you don't have to use any pre-made text-templates — just use a simple standard text and animate it with keyframes instead.)
