Looking for step by step instructions to create youtube video

[3d420]

I have read the quickstart guide six times now, and still can't understand it. It keeps referring me to other pages for more explanations of things that don't help. I just want a simple a-b-c/1-2-3 step by step roadmap to create a simple video.
Does this exist or am I wasting my time?

append parts, if needed
cut on key frames only, use up/down keyboard arrows keys only

If youtube does not process edited video:
Load edited video into avidemuxand save video again with these settings:
Video Output: in [copy] select [Mpeg4 AVC (x264)]
