    Excellent

    I had just begun using Shotcut but needed some guidance and Bryan’s course really clarified things for me. It was especially helpful that Bryan suggested settings for rendering videos. His preferences, whether one uses it or not, is great base. Highly recommend taking this course. Thank you, Bryan and Skill Success!

    This was a great blend of editing concepts and hands-on demos of a free video editing tool.

    I would have saved myself many hours of trial-and-error editing frustration if I had taken this course BEFORE I started doing video editing. Thanks Bryan.
