This is insane. While alot of us are here to actually learn, and not require anything to be handed to us I must say after spending several frustrating hours searching for tutorials on even basic essentials, I stumbled across this vid. Superb Well spoken, no extremely unneccesary talking about stuff that has nothing to do with vid, clear and precise. Actually step by step without missing anything leaving the viewers scratching heads, proper commands for both Mac and PC, no 12 hour long vid, etc. I could go on this is a true blessing and hope you make more tutorials. Just perfect!!!! I have subbed and will be following your teachings. Thank you
