A good course for people new to the AI film production process like myself.
Esta bien para los que están comenzando, básico. despeja algunas dudas comunes, como comenzar y que programas usar
excelente explicacion , aun que falto que explicara como hacer la edicion, pseria bueno que hiciera un curso explincado la edicion para nosotros los principiantes.
Curso bem ruim. Só ensinou, de maneira bem rasa, usar um monte de IAs diferentes e, no final, não mostrou como montar o curta, sincronizar áudio, nada... Dinheiro jogado fora, pois no YouTube tem MUITO vídeo ensinando melhor e de forma mais completa.
Curso introductorio básico sin mucho detalle. Para una aproximación general del tema está bien, pero es muy difícil poder llevar adelante algo que ensamble todo con esta intro. Es un puntapié inicial en la temática. Pero nada más.
