• You may also want to consider mixing in sound effects to your video to provide counterpoint for certain elements.

• You can use Adobe Soundbooth to crop or edit your audio files.
  

• Continue reviewing Adobe After Effects tutorials, which is the best place to add effects to your various media. You can use any programs you are comfortable with (doesn't have to be Premiere, After Effects, etc) to create your music videos, these are just suggested applications. With other applications, we can still help conceptually, but will be less able to help with technical problems.
