Esther, welcome top the group. You're right...it is a lot of fun. If your learning path follows what I'd call the normal curve, you'll find that the first big frustration will be the inherent speed limitations common to consumer video editing packages. That's why, at least I think, many of us here move to the professional packages...they are just a lot faster as they are designed to use modern hardware (multiple CPU and more importantly GPUs) in a more efficient manner. But I love being able to take decent video output and make it into something that is at least close to being professional. The Vixia you have is a very good camera indeed.
