I don't have any high-end software for making animations. even thou something like apple motion is fairly inexpensive it still requires a certain amount of commitment to get it working for you. personally, I like to take a course to learn a piece of software like that and make things to get familiar with the software. simply put, I don't often have the time to do that. I'm not in a position in my life where I can take a month out, for instance, to learn it everyday.

that being said. i've found for the basic intros, outros, lower thirds and hack togethers keynote is quite capable at doing a variety of effects and animation movements to allow me to make them myself in a timely fashion. the other benefit of keynote is it being a relatively easy learning curve, i picked up the majority of skills i need from just playing. i had a need and i made it. i've really only touched the surface, i'm sure you could make things really awesome with it.
