I can't speak for Mac users, but if you're on PC, I like Windows Movie Maker for the basics, then when you're ready for something more robust, try Camtasia. It also does screen capture.

Basically we would be using various video we have- cutting and putting to music with some text or using photos that we could fade in and out with, music and some recorded voice narration? What are the best programs to use? Would QuickTime Pro do this? Photoshop? Or should I be looking at something more hi-tech. Suggestions on those programs?
