Cinelerra and VirtualDub are also good tools. In terms of sound editing, audacity and ardour might be good ideas.

Blender is awesome!, but in 3dsmax, to add sound you can only add one track, and it starts at frame 0, so if you want pauses there has to be silences in the .wav file, so it gets annoying trying to time it correctly.

I strongly recommend Adobe Premiere(sp) if you can get your hands on it
