We've also tried Video Post, and found it awkward for editing multiple scenes, audio tracks, titling, etc.

Adobe Premiere Pro is probably the most popular high-end video editing program. But at $700-$800 it aint cheap. Even the educational version is pricey - $280-$350.

Then we discovered Adobe Premiere "Elements" does most of what it's big brother can do and only costs about $70. So we bought that and are very happy with the results. You can download a free trial at Adobe.com but it'll put their logo on the top right of all your output.

IMPORTANT: At first we were very disappointed in the quality of the .MOV when saved in DV-NTSC codec. Then I found out it had nothing to do with Adobe. It was a simple setting in the QuickTime Player. Under Preferences I checked "Use high quality video setting when available". Then our animation looked great!
