Review from the lead develop of Shotcut.
“As the lead developer of Shotcut, I reviewed the entire course, and I think it is very good. James clearly and accurately explains many thing from basics to more advanced techniques such as picture-in-picture, chroma keying, and using custom HTML.
The lessons are sequenced in a nice progressive manner, but you can also directly visit specific topics ~ Dan Dennedy
Review from past trainees.
“Compared to individual YouTube tutorials, this course lays out in a menu-like format all you need to know about the software, which makes it so easy to know where you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re going.” ~ André
“Okay. I'm thrilled, so far. Your videos are bite-sized, allowing me to comfortably learn without overwhelming me. I am so happy I bought this course. Thank you for being thorough and taking the time and effort needed to make it comprehensible for me. I was completely overwhelmed and intimidated by the Shotcut interface until watching you first two video chapters of this course.”
“This course got me up and running with Shotcut in no time” – Dave Ives

Excellent Teacher. Great Course For Beginners
James' course is quick and easy. Neat tricks and tips for those who are in the dark as to video editing.
I just finished the course for the first time.
I am going to do the course again, not because I did not understand something, but the course gave me a lot of great ideas that I am going to use.
