Final Cut Pro can transcribe your clips into subtitles with one shortcut, Shift-Command-S. It needs a Mac with Apple silicon and it works in US English alone, which decides the route for a lot of people before they start.
You cannot burn text into a video once it is on YouTube. Studio's editor trims, cuts and blurs, and that is the whole list. Everything else is text that sits over the player, or a new upload.
A birthday video montage should run three to four minutes and open with the person everyone recognizes. Length is the decision that makes or breaks it, and almost every montage that loses the room is too long rather than too plain.
VLC will combine video files, and VideoLAN's own wiki warns that the result carries broken timing. The joined file plays but will not scrub, so use QuickTime, Clipchamp or Google Photos instead and keep VLC for what it is good at.
To add text to video in DaVinci Resolve, open the Edit page, drag a Text+ title from the Effects library onto the track above your clip, and type in the Inspector. Four steps, two minutes, no Fusion page.

In Canva, add audio to video by opening the video design, clicking Add Audio in the timeline, and picking a track from the library or your uploads. Drag it along the timeline to place it, then set the level in the toolbar.
