I hv checked my wiffi and I played YouTube video as well .It run smoothly, however, this video it was very slow to run not playing well..
By Amitoj Gautam on 5/2/2022
This is undoubtedly the best course for total beginners like me. Every term and concept has been nicely explained with examples. I was fiddling with several cameras without knowing anything about ISO, F-Stops, fps, etc. This course literally made things so easy. Needless to say, it's THE MUST-SEE Course for anyone who is aspiring to do videography. 10/10

Its good course if you are just starting in video and you have no knowledge at all.
By Myers Nguyen on 10/12/2021
Despite Kush’s accent, I was still able to fully understand everything he said and appreciate his honest effort to speak clearly and at just the right pace. Moreover, this course has provided me with enough confidence to get my foot in the water knowing what essential equipment I need and to start recording. Thank you very much Kush!!

As a photographer, I found the introductory content basic but appropriately so. Starting with focus for video and now audio, the class is extraordinarily helpful in helping me translate my photography experience to videography.
By Shinimon Basheer on 7/18/2020
I like your class very much . Even though i'm a beginner , I acquired too many new ideas and techniques. The way of your presentation is remarkable. Really i started to love my camera!!! Great Job!!!

well, it was very instructive !!
By Tracy Patton on 5/5/2020
This is the first online educational video that I have taken. I didn't know quite what to expect, and this was great. It was exactly the content that I was seeking and I'm looking forward to utilizing my new skills and taking more classes from this instructor.
By AtomicTsarina on 4/27/2020
Decent portion of knowledge for the beginners. All most important things covered and explained in a easy way. DSLR photography knowledge can be usefull but not necessary. Very good course to start a journey with videography.
By Giancarlo Stone on 6/22/2019
A good explanation of the constraints of video in contrast to still photography. I might suggest a small section on techniques and equipment useful in top down video shooting. I might also add that even on a 15 inch laptop at full screen, the text in the software sections can be difficult to read.
