From your post, you probably need more one-on-one training and/or a visit from a technician.

Why don't you just ask your scheduler to have you trained on building up/breaking down movies? Surely, someone you work with knows how to do that.

It's not really possible to teach this over the internet.

Sorry Brenda, but there is no way you can possibly learn these sort of beginner basics from a discussion thread here. You are going to HAVE to have someone with at least a little bit of knowledge do a minimum of training before you will be able to learn more advanced things over the internet.
