Photoshop is a digital image editing program from Adobe, CS5 means it is part of the 5th creative suite Adobe has released. Other Adobe CS5 programs include After Effects and Premiere. You can also use Photoshop CS5 for 3D painting. It has more options available to you than CS4 and less than CS6.

You would have to use a multitude of programs depending on your needs. No program dose everything. I use Adobe After Effects CS5, with Flash CS5, Photoshop CS5, Windows Movie Maker, Anyvideo Converter, Houdini 3D, and more for a single video with effects to it.
