Basic editing software

[jimmyy]

Hi,

I'm a beginner when it comes to video editing.
I managed to create an movie out of an animation (iClone 5). While exporting from iClone5 there are a few compression methods that I can choose(so if one of them is too restrictive maybe I can try another one).

I would like to add, at the end of this movie, a few slides, with some explanations (only text on the slides) and audio (recorded voice of somebody). Each slide/scree/frame/ should last for as long as the recorded voice for that slide is playing (around 10-15 seconds).

Would it be better to make one recorded audio to be played over multiple slides? I guess it would remove the unpleasent stop/start break...

Can you please recommend me a software that I could use?

Thanks,
Jimmyy
