Hey guys it's Isabelle. It looks like my post yesterday didn't save, so I'll try this again.
Before actually starting to edit videos myself, I thought it would be a good idea to search for some articles and videos of edits and what you can do with simple editing software (which is what I am stuck with since I have no money).  These are some good basic editing vids and articles I found with a simple search in Google:
