well, it seemed easy enough to follow, but i guess im not that new to it

Firstly, that footage doesn't look like it'd track very well, and the end result might not look very good, just something to bear in mind

If you did want to reshoot the footage, I'd recommend setting your camera on a piece of folded up cloth, and then moving that across a smooth surface (or use a camera slider, if you wanted to do it "professionally" )

 

Secondly, Blender has a very steep learning curve, and if this is your first time in it, you should get to know the basics through a tutorial like this:

 

Lastly, I know you probably don't want to be spending much money, but I would have gone about doing the tracking in After Effects, which to me is easier to use than blender, especially for video editing

You should watch his other videos, Andrew (the guy who made the tutorial) is really good at making these kind of tutorials and his videos can teach you a lot of great stuff.

I got 90% of my Blender knowledge from his videos.

I know it will take a long time, but Blender has a crazy steep learning curve (partly because of the terrible UI), especially if you're new to 3D modelling, rendering, simulation and animation.

 

Blender is definitely not a very user-friendly piece of 3D software at all, especially for a beginner, but it's your best option if you don't plan on spending a ton of money.

 

It's really the only advice I can give you right now.

 

I haven't touched Blender in years, so I can't really help you, I never did any kind of motion-tracking anyway.
