Scrolling text over a static image

I am currently trying to help a friend make a tribute disk for someone that recently passed away in our town.

He was widely known in our area and was a friend of many and we are trying to put together a disk of his pictures and some of the music he wrote. Someone wrote a poem for him and I need help with something.

We are making a slideshow cd with his music and photos on it. We have three songs he wrote and they will play in the background while the slide show is going on.

What we want to do is at the very end have a static image (something that was drawn) with a poem scrolling over it from the bottom up to the top.

I want to sorta "scan" in this image that was drawn and then type in the text and have it scroll up over the picture while the music is still playing.


How do I get the text to "scroll" up over this still image ??? What programs do I need ?

Thanks for any help and if possible please list free to use programs. If not I'll try to find programs you may suggest.
