Answer 1

Each of these options selects which property will be saved to the keyframe. For example, if I select LocRot it will save a keyframe for location and rotation, However, if I also scale the object, but do not set a scale keyframe, the scale will not be animated.

However, you say you are video editing. These options do not apply to video editing. Try switching to the video editing workflow. If you would like to set a keyframe for a property, hover your mouse over it and press "i". Then move the timeline cursor, change the value, hover again, and press "i". This will animate the desired property.
