En escala del 1 al 10 le pondría 7, porque uno sí aprende, sin embargo está desactualizado y los archivos que comparte ya no son compatibles, no abren, también no se ha hecho una actualización sobre el tema de la música sin derechos de autor. El punto positivo es que con lo que aprendí, pude mejorar bastante mis videos y conocer el trabajo de otros youtubers de los que espero aprender.

Curso útil, bien enfocado y elegante. El formador hace que la atención y el aprendizaje estén perfectamente mantenido durante todas las sesiones. Aconsejable una actualización a fecha actual y quizás ampliar el alcance a otros objetivos como creadores de contenido
