I wast just wondering if anyone of you know a program that I can make a video intro like most profession cinemas out there. I want to make it like 3d and moving animations.
Video Software
whoa there horsie! 
seriously though, if you're new to the whole 3d and animation thing, I'd suggest you start learning first. Nothing like what they make in "professional cinemas out there" is easy to make. Think the 20th century fox logo is easy? think again.
I'd suggest starting out with "blender". it's a 3d software where you can start building your models. Once you get the hang of it, try 3ds Max, MAYA, Softimage|XSI or Lightwave. All of those can animate aswell.
However, there's more to these animations than meets the eye, so I suggest you start looking into compositing aswell. Adobe After effects, Apple Shake, Autodesk Combustion and so forth.
There's really no solution to getting it all done in one day. you kinda have to know what you're doing to actually do something like that. There's no "movie intro maker" program out there to do it all for you.
Hope anything I wrote Helped.

i heard MAYA is pretty good, and fairly simple as well
Cinema 4D is great! It is really nice!!!!!
It is really a great software, but quite expensive.

Although I've never used it myself, many pople tell me that Maya is a good program for professional quality 3D rendering and animation. Although, it does take some time to learn, so you would have to be quite patient before you actually made anything that looked as professional as you want it...
I am looking for something too. Is there any open source stuff out there?

That made me giggle!
eLto is right though - i agree completely. If you are a novice then dont expect to produce great results.
i use after effects, but it takes a while to pick up. I'm still learning. Made a simple animation on it which shows my website. i stick it on the end of all my youtube vids.
Well, if you needed it sometime soon. I'm sure someone in the Marketplace would be willing to do a nice intro for you for a few FRIH$.

Maya is not simple. It is harder than 3D Max. Only difference between 3D Max and Maya is, Maya has more features than 3D Max. That's all.

Blender, which was mentioned earlier in this thread, is open source.
Windows Movie Maker is free and very easy to use, but the movie may not be very fancy.
Adobe Premiere is a very professional movie maker you can use, but it is expensive.
The description:
Create professional-looking video projects--or spare your friends the agony of watching unedited video of your family's latest vacation--with the help of this tool. Adobe Premiere, the industry standard for editing footage, lets you produce video clips or extended presentations. The neatly designed interface lets you lay out your project in a storyboard, and you can organize the sequence of your edits by moving clips to the program's time line. The program includes all types of transition effects and filters (both video and audio), so your final project can look like a polished business presentation or a cheesy, tabloid-TV program.
The current version of Premiere is 6.5, but for some reason the folks at Adobe have seen fit to only offer version 6.0 as a trial download. The program is 72.5 MB, but it's worth downloading before you splurge in buying the whole package.
