Pauline,
Sure. I am using the Windows Movie Maker.
There could be other easier or user-friendlier software out there. I am using this because I am rather used to it and it is also free.
When I first learnt about this software (a couple of years back), it is not so user-friendly and a fairly steep learning curve is expected. I believe the newer version got better now.
This is assuming you are not a Mac user.

Your <u>contents</u> should be ready in digital format:
Photos (e.g. .jpg) - if u intend to import photo
Videos (e.g. .wmv) - if u intend to import video clips
Music files (e.g. .mp3) - if u intened to add music
I have seen people using this website to search for mp3,
www.sogou.com
This website is in chinese, look and feel is like Google. But I am not sure the source is reliable or not.
Otherwise if you have the music in CD, you need other software to "convert/rip" it into mp3 (or other format) that can be imported to this Moview Maker.
After installing the Movie Maker software,
you just need to drap n drop the contents,
add captions (before/after/inside the photo/video) as necessary,
save it into a video and
Viola!
Have Fun.
