The generated subtitles are include lots of bug…

By Danishmand Khan on 10/24/2024

It is mostly theoretically driven. And the instructor almost glances over the topics and throws around technical jargon, which must be Googled to be understood well. There is also little to no practical application or tests for the learners.

By Chris White on 10/15/2024

The information is good, but the narrator has a very heavy accent that is hard to translate sometimes

By Sumith S Malik on 9/28/2024

Great course on theory and practical tips on color in video editing. Not a step by step guide and not for absolute beginners. Is deep enough for those who are into the video editing.

By Christopher Isles on 5/12/2022

Great intro course, mostly concentrating DVR

By 中川好幸 on 3/30/2022

It seems like that he is reading the text. Lessons should be something that communicates the message. He is not practcing that. Try not to read, but speak to us even if you have the manuscipt.

By Claudia Canales on 1/17/2022

Having an intro graphic at the beginning of EVERY clip was a bit overwhelming. Overall great info and I learned a lot, but we don't need the intro gfx on every clip. Maybe at the top of each section or something.

By Daniel Schlack on 1/12/2022

Well, course run through is done and my rating has improved. This course was an excellent intro to necessary theory . I was initially having difficulty with the amount and complexity of the the data I was absorbing and with the DiVinci examples. I will take a second run through spending time organizing workflows and concepts before I move on to the PP Color Grading Master Class.

By Eddie Sung on 6/7/2021

Amazing. Concepts that are so important which we took for granted. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Very nice.

By Misha Beare on 5/12/2021

I was looking for a course that gave a good break down of the colour science and terminology. This course did that for me so I am happy about it.
