Good to follow and teached in a comprehensibly calm way. But is really tiring with missing, displaced files or lost frames in some chapters. For example in the Denoise package project files rar folder there is a sequence for a different chapter or one sequence has missing frames.

By Pablo Dotta on 8/25/2023

Muy clara la manera de explicar , muy bueno el ritmo, a veces los instructores hablan demasiado rápido y se dificulta seguirlos, aún más para los que no manejamos muy bien el inglés. Muy buenas las técnicas aprendidas.

By Juniko Moody on 7/19/2023

Good fundamentals! I wish the book had more written about when to use each of the image based keyers. For example, use the difference keyer for garbage mattes only. Use the HSV Tool for extracting hues, saturation, or brightness areas. Use the the colorspace keyer to extract white or near-white areas, etc. It would help to have a framework, matrix, or table to look up specific problems and then follow the problem to the correct IBK tool.

By YouriJ on 6/5/2023

He is very attentive to the problems and questions we have, takes his time to help us and explain. He is very friendly, professional, and explains things very well! I highly recommend him 100%.

By Rosevelt Janu on 1/11/2023

He explains amazingly easy to understand and new concepts. I think I can do preprocess for keying in any software even in premier pro.

By Sagnik Chowdhury on 3/23/2022

I loved the overview of the course so far. I am still a beginner and keying part is the most difficult part for me. Specially the spill and hair detail's part. I always struggle with those. Looking forward to learning the industry process of doing the comp. Really excited for this course.

By Jeremy Ballard on 12/12/2021

Excellent course, both the larger number of specific video lectures and the deep dive into certain workflows are giving me a great deal to think about for projects going forward.

By Lucas Günther on 10/29/2021

Dieser Nuke Course ist wirklich gut. Ich liebe den praktischen Teil des Projekts sehr. Auch die Kerninformationen vor dem Start jedes Tutorials. arbeitet derzeit an einem zweiten Projekt.

By Dipanshu vijankar on 10/23/2021

Nicely design course. Before i was little confuse on the technique such as Soft comp and core comp, but now it is solved really well on how to perfectly blend them both. thanks you.

By Cameron Hitchard on 10/21/2021

Nice. Instructor goes in great details on how specific workflow and Pipeline works. Certain Do's and Don't on nuke node setup. I must say this is the keying learning path what i need.
