I still couldn’t have progressed this far without everyone’s help, Thanks again guys. I don’t think I’m done though so don’t go too far away

That is why I suggested photoshop, when it is only a few frame and sub-pixel accuracy isn't required it can sometimes be the fastest method.
I'm glad it worked for you - post a pic!
You don't really require a PHD to us video editing programs, but they are setup to allow great freedom with editing tasks, and with freedom comes necessary complexity.
If the camera moved in that shot and perspectives changed etc. they still need to be able to get the job done, which means tracking warping, matchmoving etc.
It is all about knowing your programs well and using the best one for the particular job, sometimes it will be photoshop, sometimes shake, sometimes a combination of MAYA, Shake and Photoshop.
The programs today are amazingly powerful, but it does mean that you really want to work through the tutorials and spend a bit of time learning them rather than diving in at the deep end. It is a good idea to have a few lessons before jumping into a formula 1 racer and expecting to be able to drive it around the track.
