You might be interested in two pieces of free software (for personal use, at least): Lightworks and Blackmagic Fusion 7. Lightworks is a nonlinear editing suite for video (like Premiere), and Fusion is a compositing package like After Effects.

Work in as high resolution as possible for as long as possible. Pros will use lossless codecs the whole way through. If you can't do lossless, at least don't recompress over and over - always work from the original when possible. If you're editing audio, it's helpful to record in 24-bit/96 KHz, not because the quality is better in the finished product but because it's easier to edit and mess with volume and playback speed without sacrificing quality.
