First, I’m not a salesman. Yes, I realize that I’m about to sound like I’m trying to sale Blender, but I’m just providing information.

Second, I’m not trying to convince you not to use UE 5. Professionals use a wide range of software. All software has it’s strengths and it’s weaknesses. It’s a mater of how many pieces of software you want to study/learn. 

Now for some info that you may already know. Blender is almost a one stop shop for what you’re looking to do. Blender can do modeling, sculpting, texturing, shading, rigging, animating, rendering, compositing, and video editing. Blender also has camera and object tracking if you want to combine live action with 3D. Blender also has a complete 2D animation system.  Note: If someone was just wanting to do video editing I wouldn’t recommend Blender, but if someone is already learning Blender and getting use to the Blender way(AKA Blender mentality) then I would recommend using it.

Additional information you didn’t ask for. As for UE and Unity, their power is more in VFX and Virtual Productions. All of them can be used for building scenes/sets. UE handles asset management better in my opinion. Unity integrates better with blender since it can handle Blend file. With Blender and a sound editing software like Audacity or DaVinci Resolve you have 90% of what you need. Note: DaVinci Resolve is also a VFX, Video editing, and color grading software. Yes, DaVinci Resolve is more known for video editing and color grading, but it’s sound design and sound editing tools are on par with a lot of DAWs(Digital Audio Workstations). Like Cubase, Adour, and Adobe Audition. Side Note: I’ve only worked with Audacity, DaVinci Resolve, and an old version of Cubase when it first started moving from a Midi software to a midi based DAW.
