Video sorftware for people with no patience

Post by jeremykeys »

Hi there everybody! Hope you are all well and safe. I'm hoping that someone here can help me. I'm trying to make some simple videos of free images online put together with music that I've recorded. I really don't have much patience for all of the fiddling about that so far, all of the free video software out there seems to want me to do.
Drag and drop. That's what I want. And then later have cross fades and stuff between each image. And I want to very easily, First pop my audio in then pictures. Music then visuals. That's how I want to do it. With little or no futzing about.
I barely ever watch music videos so you can guess how important they are to me. I'm an old fart! My stereo didn't come with video. Oh well!
Here's the thing. I can't seem to find a simple as all can be free program. I certainly don't want to pay for something unless it turns out to be so easy that my cat can run it.
I simply want something that pretty much runs itself. I upload my music track and drag and drop pictures into it. Then I tell it to crossfade or whatever between the images. That's it. That's all I want.

So please! Can any of you here recommend something to help a poor sad and fed up with nonsense old guy?

All thanks are in advance!

Jermykeys, the lousy video editor!

Necro, I know! But maybe someone might need this info, as nobody answered this.
Have you tried using Canva? Though mostly known for design, it also has a user-friendly video editor. You can easily drag and drop images, apply transitions like cross-fade, and overlay your music track. It's free, with paid features, if you decide to get more out of it later on.

You're looking for simplicity, right? You may want to check out Movavi. It's a video editing software that I personally found to be intuitive and user-friendly. You can simply drag and drop your images into the timeline and then upload your music. Crossfading images is also pretty straightforward, not much fuss needed.
