Excelente curso, recomendable

A good start - I want to see more

Not so many references to Nuke.

An example of roto where I could see a video (keyfamed?)

Will there be a part 2 for a course?

Course is not visually attractive

The BEST tutorials for absolute beginners like myself.

c'est le premier cours que j’achète sur ce site et ce n'est pas par hasard, ce formateur est vraiment super.

I thought I may of learned something new with Natron with this course but didn't. Either way if you're new to Natron great video, if not and can already create basic compositions YouTube videos will save you the money as not enough exercises in this course currently.

Ta Fajnie uczy podstaw

It was nice to have some basics but it was a little too short for me. And in the course you present some subject and don't go further. Like for exemple, you talk about tracking with and without markers on green key but you only develop the part with trackers.

Other little thing, it would be great that you provide the sources files to give the possibility to follow with you.

But it still a good introduction to Natron and the tips you provide for keying/tracking/before compositing are really great.

So thx ;)
