Editing video can be pretty weird stuff. I found it handy to keep in mind that each video file you have is two parts under the hood - compressed video stream and a compressed audio stream. There are loads of different formats for the two different streams which can be a big pain in the rear end.

If you're using a video editing program like Adobe Premiere, you're going to have a timeline down below and then a video preview window up top. You put your video clips down below in whatever order you want and then you start puttting down the audio tracks.

If you know exactly what you want to do with your audio, then edit it into the final form in an audio editor like Audacity. Now that you have your finished audio you drop that onto the timeline and can do the fiddly work of getting the video frames to match up.

The guides in Nofriendo should be handy but knowing that you can edit audio and video independently may be useful.
