  1. Hi!
    Excuse me for asking, but what is the benefit for explaining all three editing programs at once?
    It’s only distracting or confusing me.
    I’m consider my self as a beginner and I’m from Sweden so that may be the answer.

    Ps. I didn’t look at the hole tutorial.

  2. I see it more and more, but just makes me feel a bit colorblind. I really liked the color pop and grading of John Wick 4, moody but very beautiful

  3. Hola. Quería decirte que muchísimos cineastas iberoamericanos te seguimos y nos beneficiamos de tus enseñanzas, pero no hablamos inglés. Podrías considerar poner subtítulos a tus enseñanzas. Muchas gracias de antemano por tus excelentes consejos.
