As people above have already said, this is really not you being terrible at figuring stuff out, it's stuff being impossible to figure out. I could write out a TIRADE (and once actually did write a long post) about how incredibly difficult vidding is to get into because you need to figure out so much stuff and there are NO good resources for basic things and you end up using a whole bunch of programs and it's just... it can be REALLY difficult to get started unless you have someone experienced right next to you to tell you what to do. It's a huge problem, IMO, because it's a real barrier to people getting into vidding, especially people who aren't from places with a high concentration of fan people.
So, I am so sorry, vidding is terrible, you are wonderful, you did all the right things.
