Answers.Text: Shultc, thank you for the tip. So what I've done is created the basic video in Premier Pro (it was relatively easy).  My partner created the intro and outro in AE.  So now, I guess what I need to to is to bring in my exercise video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VUMfF45Azo) into AE, do my text overlay and loop the video if I need more time. Thanks! Your tip was very helpful!

Answers.Body: <p>This can be accomplished both in Adobe Premiere and After Effects just like Shultc said.</p>
  
  <p>You can start and use the After Effects Preset(default text effects) as you go along and start to use more advance effects and animation such as lower thirds, text reveal etc...</p>

  **Premiere Pro** have more basic text tools, but it is easier to work with. Also, it is better for long files.
  
  **After Effects** allows you to manipulate with your text in much more various ways. You can use there more different text effects. But it is also more complicated.
  
  So, it is up to you to decide. If you are looking for something basic, use Premiere. If you want to use some fancy effects, then use After Effects.
  
  For example typewriter effect, which is used in video in your question is one of the standard AE effects. You can also [achieve that with Premiere Pro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6mbBnaO-DU), but you will spend more time on each text.
