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.

I’m glad you did recommend PS made it so much easier. Just have to find a place to host the image and then Ill post up.
I see what you’re saying about the programs. I just thought they would be somewhat more user friendly when there accessible to the general public. And I think Id get around a track in an F1 car just fine. Same basic principals apply, gas+brake+paddle shifters= Awesome, Not saying Id make Schumacher's (more like Alonso this year) time around a track but could get around nonetheless
