How do I Key Frame?

[I'm crippiling depression]

When I try to animate I have trouble making it so that one thing haoppens then another, it never changes

The motion editor, ironic to its name, is usually only used to create the first, beginning frame of a clip. Additionally, it is also used to change a certain element of the scene entirely, i.e. making the lighting brighter overall in a scene. The graph editor is the one you should be using for animation and keyframes. Use M on the keyboard to create a keyframe on the frame your playhead is on.

You need to select a bone first.

The button which has the graph-like zig-zag is where you begin.
Be advised, trying to move a model with all bones selected is NOT recommended when using this mode!
Tip: Select all bones and press M when in this mode to make a keyframe. I do this at the start when they're in t-poses so I can re-use it instead of trying to use the 'normal' or 'default' slider, which sometimes causes the transition to make no sense, but otherwise, I do.
Additional tip: Double-clicking on the video in the 'render mode', or whatever it's called, will bring up a series of columns which can be stretched; doing so enables a longer video to be possible without the 'it stopped' reprecussion.
