The course is OK, it's comprehensive and a good majority of AfterEffects tools are covered. I feel by the end of the course, I'll have a sturdy grasp of AE, but I wouldn't say Grandmaster.

There are a few issues I've removed stars for:

Audio can become extremely silent, I had my speakers on full blast, volume at 100 and I could still barely hear the instructor.

The examples take a LOOOONG time to play needlessly. Almost all examples take 30 seconds to a minute to play, and these are simple animations of some text being stretched, or a line moving down the screen, etc. They don't need to take that long and it can be frustrating. I put the video to 2x and it still took a long time for the example to play. 10 seconds should probably be the maximum.

The course is long winded and the monologue can be drastically pruned to be a lot more direct and efficient.

The course is a good introduction though and I enjoyed it and learned a lot as a beginner. I think with a bit of editing, it can be a whole lot better.
