How is this video created?

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this type of video design. How is this created?

I know that Adobe After Effects can do this and I've used it before - http://www.adobe.com/au/products/aftereffects.html
Basically you can create layers using shapes or images you import into the program. From there you can set keyframes and animate them to move, scale, fade in or out. It's an extremely powerful program, even has a 3D engine.

Be warned there is quite a learning curve. You might be better off outsourcing it to a specialist.

Another option is Motion 5 from Apple, though I haven't tried it, just heard about it - http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/motion/

Hey thanks for the reply PicNet . Well I may have to do that. Do you know of any free programs where I can basically work on the learning curve of this type of video editing in general. I'd like to have a crack at it first before I shell out for Adobe After Effects or outsource.

Sorry don't know any free programs... But you can download a trial version of After Effects. Here is a link to a 3 part beginners Tutorial you can skim over to get an idea of what it's like:

You could also try doing it in flash, but that's not free either.

There are open source applications like jahshaka but it's clunky and restricted compared with after effects or flash.
