Alright guys now going to do some editing type stuff ok I'm completely out of knowledge when it comes to rendering, editing, animation etc. I had captured many gameplays with the help of Fraps software now I want to put all the videos on Youtube, before starting it wanna add a beautiful animation before and after gameplay like you people may have seen on youtube most of users had a great animations text or logos at the starting of thier gameplays.

Let suppose my favorite title is ASXTREME45, I want to present this title in a stylish way so please tell me from the start from where should I begin.

Let me tell you that I have some of editing softwares are they good enough or buy another package?

1: Aurora 3D text and logo
2: Aurora Animations
3: Blender
4: Adobe CS6

The last two are very difficult in making 3D stuff, While pretty good in aurora.

Or anyone please make it for me?

The Adobe Suite is pretty much all you need, Photoshop to make assets and then After Effects for the animation and effects. Your right that the Adobe Suite doesnt do 3D very well though, if you want complex 3D in After Effects you basically have to import pre-done footage from something like Cinema 4D. Though given the fact your new to it all, I would keep things simple.

I suggest checking out VideoCopilot. Its a really good place for learning After Effects and has plenty of tutorials. Just be aware that the guy who owns it (Andrew Kramer) has a very gritty and effects heavy style and that shows in the tutorials he makes. If your after something simpler you might be better off Youtubing motion graphic tutorials...
