    Sounds like the adobe suite ticks all them boxes. Illustrator and photoshop for your posters and flyers. After effects for editing video footage.

    They are pretty involved, but its nothings that cant be learned. They are some of the biggest softwares in the world so there 1000's of hours worth of training online. I recently signed up to lynda.com and they have serious amount of training when it comes to adobe products, kelby training is also really good.

    Theres also free alternatives, like inkscape and gimp.

    That Adobe stuff is highly expensive and is really for professionals. If you want to do some small fliers and posters I would recommend looking at this site. These are limited editions and work very well for small publications. There is also a very good forum where you can get great advice. DTP (desktop publishing) can be complicated with a fairly steep learning curve.

    Don't hesitate to ask for advice.

    What about inkscape? Not VERY easy to use, I would say it's similar to photoshop but has sooo many usefull features. I think you can download it for free.
