FFmpeg.
Still GPL.
Synfig Studio - 2d animation software
I definitely considered FFmpeg (I mean, it does everything, and pretty much as fast as possible), but the sense I had was that people were mostly posting about tools that were reasonably accessible to novice users, with nice-ish interfaces. FFmpeg is pretty daunting to newcomers.
OpenSCAD (CAD, but with a programming language-style interface) is kind of in a similar category. It's pretty powerful, and for someone who thinks like a programmer it can be relatively easy to learn, but if you don't already understand 3d transformations on a pretty intuitive level, the program doesn't have a lot of features to ease you into that.
