Do you just want to do picture-in-picture stuff? if so then cheap s/w (premiere elements) will allow this. Your choice of words like 'matte' and 'drag around on matte' make me thing of odd shaped paths for animating your clip position on. I think you can do this easily enough but the more odd the shape the more likely you'll be looking at somethign like After Effects rather than Premiere if you go the Adpobe route.
No experience of Final Cut, sorry.
