@neb @acris for the price of free software... you'll get really amazing tools compare to what you'll get with this amount in the case of a proprietary one ;). I cannot afford to pay (and don't want to use) for a complete adobe bundle to make a little video of 20s... so I use free software, and they'll do the job., Of course I you can take advantage of a Job licence... it's another story...
I know that they are professionnal tools, and are great with lots of "one click amazing stuff"... but they are not free 
You can test kdenlive, Cinnelera Openshot... and sure you will prefer adobe products.. because the way of freedom is not the easiest one !.... dark side is the easiest 
The 4.1 splash intro was made using Blender, and only Blender ... What do you think of it ?
