I feel CONFIDENT now as a beginner!

These tutorials were wonderful to follow along with, I feel so accomplished! During the third/final section I got so excited at the end of each video, it was so fun pulling all of this together. The repetitiveness made me genuinely feel like I knew what I was doing even though I'm a beginner, so thank you GDS for building up my confidence and proficiency. I'm ready to take on my own projects now! Love from Texas <3

Super helpful After Effects course!

Wow. What an amazing set of tutorials. Not only did you do a great job pacing everything out, but I really liked that you repeated your steps for each part so that the process of how to do certain things in After Effects solidified in my mind. Well worth the $8 price point for the project folder. Cheers!

I took Gareth's course in After Effects on Youtube and it was a great experience. He explains things clearly and very thoroughly. He's clearly spent a lot of time creating the downloadable content. He's also a talented designer with a great eye. Any beginner who takes his After Effects course will learn a lot.

Gareth is a fantastic teacher

Gareth is a fantastic teacher. He explains everything step by step. I'm learning AE through his courses and I'm so excited to learn new things each lesson. He keeps me motivated. I feel like I'm going to be able to really understand the basics to experiment by myself. Thank you so much, Gareth!

I ilke the concepts presented and the presentations.
However, I had have a challenge sometimes finding the pdf which I'm using to logging on to your presentations. (Up to number 20)

Two items I'd Iove to have.

1.A transcript of the CC presentation. I'm what you might consider elderly, (90+.) the body knows it - but the mind doesn''t. Been active since 1965 in grad school in computer technology, etc.,

2. A timeline that tell at what point what's being covered in the video.

There are a number of procedures I often want to review - ex. the pre-comp you make use of in 16 or 17, I believe, to tip the trip of the satellite around the earth - sometimes you are working on the pre-comp sometimes the satellite.

Incredible value for a great course!

$7 is incredible value, considering the length and depth of material covered in this video series. It's well worth the small price to pay to get the practice files and resources covered in the course. Thank you so much for offering this!

One of the best online tutorials I have seen.

One of the best online tutorials I have taken. Even 3 years out, this course is still a great beginners guide to AE. Goes though all the basics to get you comfortable with interface and gives you a solid foundation to build on. Highly recommend you get the inexpensive course materials to follow along with as well to get the full benefits of the course.
