It sounds like you have a very professional setup, so it would help if you hired a professional that could do what you ask.
Have you ever edited before?
Have you started to injest the video clips?
Is that not working?
Do you own the content of all these VHS tapes and CD tracks?
have you looked at larryjordan.com and other tutorials?
What is your budget?
