Creating a slideshow/video

Hi I want to create a short video for a charity I'm involved with. I've got some moving pictures, some stills, and a soundtrack. They just need putting together, and some captions adding. Is there a good bit of free software a novice (i.e. me) could do this with, or should I find someone to do it?

    If you are using Win10, then the Video editor is somewhat hidden by being being part of the Photos app ?
    Its pretty straight forward though, ideal for a 1st go

    I like shotcut, it takes a bit of learning but is free, capable and has an enthusiastic following with good help forums and youtube how to videos. I'm no IT whizz but was up and running with it pretty quick and have learnt more as and when needed.
