How do I add slides to a Youtube video?

Hi all,

I want to make a video and put it on youtube; yet I still need to add some slides, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the video. You can say I want to be able to add some slides at certain times of the video (20 min-30 min) and I want to know how to do that on Linux (My box currently has Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and what's the best software to use?

Thank you so much in advance,

These are the first two links that appeared on google; Normally, I use openshot or kdenlive for my video editing needs.

Hi corp769,
Thank you for the reply,

I already installed 3 of the top-5 (based on nixCraft ranking) and I just want to know if shotwell and/or kdenlive are good for what I want to do?
Are they able to "add" slides in a video (usually, a picture)? And will I be able to decide for how long these slides (pictures) should stay?

Thank you again,

I meant openshot before, not shotwell! My apologies

Openshot should definitely do what you are looking to do! Just google "openshot tutorials" and you will be bombarded with results. I have successfully used in combination both kdenlive and openshot, and have had really good results.
