There's a crap load of templates on Youtube, Only start with AE if your computer can handle it. Dual cores can't handle it that well, dual cores can barely handle Sony Vegas. I have a dual core computer so I'd know. If you want to edit, and plan on doing it a lot get a Quad core to 8 core with 2.5ghz or more processing power. No laptops unless you wanna pay out the but for one. Sony Vegas is the easiest to learn then Photoshop, and indesign super easy, flash, then AE. After that umm don't know about Premiere, but 3ds max, Autocad, and Cinema 4d definitely the most confusing to learn. The ideal thing to do is to master AE because that is the best out there. Those 3d programs and 4d are just for intros. Ae can do everything. Here's a really nice intro I saw for AE the other day really sexy. - [ame=
