My philosophy in information technology and learning in general is that video learning is the one of the best ways to learn things yourself. I can provide the videos but it's up to you as my student to absorb and practice the information to become a more educated and skilled person.

Ja zeker, wel gelijk veel details en weinig basis kennis

Final Review: A great course with a lot of examples of different use cases and samples of how you can use different effects and combining those effects. Initial review: This course is very clear and concise and well built so far and has a lot of beginner information for fusion to help understand everything.

No fluff, just info

lessons are not self-contained, they are edits of a longer tutorial

Great course. It has been years since I used Fusion. I bought this as a refresher course; as well as updating to the newest version. If your coming from AE or Nuke this should be an excellent course for you. He actually speaks clear English. Very few assets are provided but that is not a problem nowadays to follow along with something similar.

Not really. Some things are glossed over more than I care. Was hoping to learn some serious FX but only got some tidbits with this course. Could have been done better, more in depth, more varied subjects, requiring more hours of content. It's light-weight stuff. Disappointed.

Looks as though these videos are on YouTube for free. Not happy with this course.
By David W Trusty on 7/3/2020
This is a good match for me thus far. i have purchase another tutorial and went through it. However going through this segment makes a lot of sense to me.To take something complex and make it simple is should be the goal. What made this one understandable to me was that you gave a tip as a matter of fact and then I understood why when I followed another teacher step by step it was not working.

Good so far. Audio quality suffers at times. Just a bit. Resources should be available for all lessons so students can follow. Author has addressed this once already after I pointed it out. Thanks. Later, after completing course: The author is very knowledgeable and demonstrates the content well. But I would have to call this an overview, or "quick tour." Especially towards the end, there is little chance of students actually doing the steps you are showing - there is no material provided!. I could have watched youtube videos, but I wanted a course that I could follow and do the steps. You clearly are not intending the student to actually follow your steps. Too bad, so easily fixed.

Good tutorial I enjoyed. But would be really nice to add materials to download so we can follow your steps.
