I can't export my score as any kind of audio or video file. On the File tab these buttons are grayed out, and when I try to export using the plug-in, it gives me a message saying that I have to ensure that my playback configuration uses only virtual instruments and not MIDI instruments. However, when I go to the playback configuration, the only option available is MIDI. Is there a way I can add virtual instruments to my computer so I can export my scores as audio/video files?

As you found out, you can't export midi. Is this an evaluation copy of Sibelius? In any event you'll need Sibelius sounds, or Noteperformer, or VST's. All of which will only work with a paid copy. If you paid for Sibelius, the sounds for it ( which you also paid for) are a separate download.
