Estou a meio do curso mas estou a gostar bastante da experiencia, acho que o curso não se insere para quem é iniciante pois ele não explica grande parte das coisas e utiliza linguagem muito tecnica. Mas para mim que já tenho algum conhecimento é uma boa experiencia porque ele ensina a mexer em muitas ferramentas do Davinci que nunca tinha usado, e explica de uma forma muito boa!
