The programs work with tracks and a timeline just like the audio production programs have since before Cakewalk. You will pick it up no problem. Just spend an afternoon messing with it and you will pick it up. Start a project/file, drag in a video file and it shows up in the timeline. Right click on it and you will see effects options. Putting another track (file) above of it in the track list gives it priority, so if you had one under it that was a minute long and one above it 5 seconds long, when the 5 seconds hits the above one would take priority. It's all very very intuitive and you will pick it up no problem without a need for a book, just put in a few hours exploring. It splits the audio into a track and it's the same deal, right click and you get options for normalize, equalize, effects etc. Just mess with it and ask me beginner questions when you start is my advice. You can go ahead and do experiments with videos on your hard drive any time.
