How would you make a video like this?

What elements are required for the 3 major components in a simple video like the one stated above?

The number, the text and the video. I realise their probably all possible through PiP.

However I wanted to know how would you go about creating a similar video.

I think my ignorance on the abilities of Final Cut Pro X leads me to the quick conclusion that its very inflexible.

I was wanting input as to learn further.

Thanks for all the help.

Cheers

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

I own Motion5, so I would quick'n dirty staple my own lower-thirds together... 😝

In FCPX only, you have to staple the elements:

in the storyline, there's some background.
Then, there's the snake-video, Transform Tool to resize&place, Effect Drop Shadow to apply .. eehm, a drop shadow 😉
The dropping Number could be accomplished by a key-framed title, again: more convenient to create that in Motion
Finally, the lower third is some graphic + a title. To create that 'snake in'-effect, you should compound it and key frame the distortion tool. Again, for regular use, I would create my own, 'snaker'-lower third in Motion5 ...
