I am looking to turn my stories into YouTube videos. We have images set for the backgrounds. They currently aren't as PowerPoint files. They were going to be HTML pages however it would be easier for us to host these on YouTube as we have some issues loading sounds and the javascript scrolling at the same time.
Already Tried : using the YouTube video editor however I cannot fill the screen enough.
Requirement : Cheaply create video files using background images, simple transitions and adding sound.
My Experience level : Not expert, not done since a long time.
What is the easiest/most cost effective way of doing this?
