Hi Heather, If you are on Windows, I would recommend PowerDirector: http://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector/overview_en_US.html It's pretty easy to learn to use and is fairly stable so that it doesn't crash much. You definitely need a video editing program to do all of the things that you described. Good luck!
