Si se tiene conocimiento previo del programa, se hace muy fácil seguir su idea. Es bastante rápido así que hay que hacer varias pausas para hacer los ejercicios. En si, da muchas tips interesantes.

El curso es práctico, pero es antiguo, por lo que si usas un cinema con la última versión las cosas cambian, aunque sepas algo de cinema, él lo explica demasiado rápido y mueve el cursor demasiado rápido, si relentizas el vídeo puede que sigas el ritmo pero al final vas tan lento que aburre. El curso no es malo, pero hay que tener mucha paciencia. No lo recomiendo por estas dos razones, cinema antiguo y la velocidad de cada clase.
