I've just started using a simple and inexpensive little program for creating stunning animations, effects, titles, and bumpers for my videos.
The program is Composer FX Movie
I put together a short video tutorial and review here:

The program is not perfect, but you can get some really great looking results fast.
I have no relationship with this company other than as a satisfied customer.
