Not sure, if a DSLR is the right choice for you. The Nikon 5500 has no pivotal display, I think the first Nikon that has is a D750 which is way beyond your price range of 1000$.
I am not into videography, but I heard that the count of autofocus-pixels might reduce the video fun a bit.
About the Panasonic, isn't it MFT? MFT has some pro's and con's compared top APS-C.
Camera wise, the Nikon is a nice thing tho. The 50mm fixed (fx) and 35 mm fixed (dx-format) are quite affordable and have a superb picture quality. But I think you might prefer a zoom with some range for filming. I am using a D3300, it offers the same picture quality. The worse autofocus doesn't affect me, as I am rather into nature fotography, anyways.

I can assure you that the D5500 has the pivotal display (which is a term I kinda made up for the swivel LCD. Is there an actual official meaning to that term that I missed?). The auto focus, ehhh, I'm not too worried about. I probably won't use it, since I'd rather train myself to do it manually for a more natural effect. I'm actually going to build a custom rig with a 3.5", maybe bigger, mirror display to get a better glimpse of what's in focus. That won't cost more than $30.
