I've been using Techsmith's Camtasia for my video editing for years.  It's packed with functionality and it's extremely user friendly.  

I created templates that I use over and over again for videos and online courses.  It's a bit pricy but worth it.

App Sumo is the place I go to get new technology at ground floor prices...that's before it's released to the masses.  This is where I snagged a lifetime license for Word Hero for less than $100.
