This is a great course on animating in Photoshop. Pablo Stanley is very knowledgeable and provides a lot of tips and tricks that I previously didn't know. I would highly recommend this course if you are wanting to create simple animations, animated typography, converting video or sketches to animation, or to just learn something new in Photoshop.

Awesome Animation course! I love the animations that the instructor taught me, the techniques shown in the course are easy to understand, however, I believe 'Practices make perfect!' Thanks to the instructor's patient and really find it is very interesting in animating!

Great videos and easy to follow along. It is also great that you show yourself throughout your videos as well so that it is not just a voice talking but it feels like i am in a one on one lesson.

I enjoyed the course very useful and clearly explained every step. The english subtitles are all incorrect though if someone has trouble understanding the accent that would be a problem, sometimes if i wanna mute the audio that isn't possible at all.
