Give this man a round of applause

[_cstrat]

i watched about 20 minutes before i learned i wasn't quite ready for all of this. i promise i'll be back soon

[AleSuggests]

It took me 10 days to:
- go through the whole tutorial thoroughly
- familiarise with auto hot key (never used before)
- replicate every AHK script mentioned in this tutorial (although I simplified some)
- create my own AHK scripts for everyday computer use
- create a new advanced Premiere template project
- go through all Premiere settings
- take good notes of every feature and button mentioned in this video (that I ignored existed)

It was a long journey. But I feel very satisfied that I managed to go through this whole video, and that this was not one of those things started, but never finished. I feel like I'll appreciate the Linus TT videos way more after knowing the amount of work hidden behind them. These real-life problem-solving approaches you showed in this 4 hours long video will never be forgotten, Taran. Your enthusiasm and your creativity are contagious. Best of luck for anything you do man! This video is probably worth years of college... and not many can afford those. Thank you so much! God Bless

[BrockPlaysFortnite]

This is next level stuff my man you have just changed my life

Edit: It's been two months now and I am serious when I say you changed my life lol I use AHK for EVERYTHING now over a hundred app specific functions that has cut down on repetitive tasks so much its awesome. Thanks bro 🤝

[TheRealUncleScar]

A Tutorial so advanced that you need a tutorial in order to understand how to use the tutorial!

[ebanksstudios]

Few mins till I go to bed
*Clicks on 4 hour video*

[CHEFPKR]

5 cuts! Man... I need that Linus experience. My videos have... I don't even know how many cuts. Hundreds, probably.

[aze]

NEXT. LEVEL.

I have been going through this, basically minute by minute. I finally completed it, and it took me 3 months. I took a LOT of notes, bought some products, made some AHK scripts, researched things, familiarized myself with the shortcuts, looked through every single thing in Premiere Pro (and research what they do), and more!

This video is absolutely amazing! I would love another even more updated tutorial because it has been five years since this was uploaded.

[Mintyoreos]

I needed this in my life... And an SSD upgrade eventually.

Feel free to leave comments AS you watch the video, since if you wait until the end, you won't be able to remember EVERYTHING you wanted to talk about! Include timestamps if applicable!
Once you get to the end, leave a long comment!

[KnowledgePerformance]

Hey Taran, rewatching this after you uploaded the video about leaving LTT. I want to thank you for this amazing creation and wish you luck in your future endeavors!

[stopfidgetting]

After I watched this video I got laid 14 times, won the lottery twice, and became president of my own private island! Thank you Taran!

[davanti]

Mate, I've been working as a film + tv editor for a decade (primarily in AVID) and I've never seen a video like this. so detailed, beautifully executed, and with SO many great tips and tricks to speed up workflow. absolutely incredible

[Whit_Edit]

I started working as a freelance video editor just over a year ago for pennies on the dollar and I remember watching this all the way through twice (and the 3 hour version). It made me rethink how I work and gave me belief that I could actually do this for a living.

I'm now able to afford my rent, loans, all that good stuff and have consistent work with great clients after a year, in part because of things I've learned from this one video. So thanks Taran :)

[stefanhofmann]

First YouTube video I’ve watched that tells you how to use YouTube before it starts. Great work!

[kallmekikio]

Very informative. This has been out for four years?! That’s just insane. Looks fresh as of today. Great video to watch and learn from 👍

[rjr]

The most remarkable part of this is that the video is nearly 4 and a half hours and there not a single ad. Big up, you

[FutaCockWorshipper]

4 hours of free quality workflow experience?

let me just turn off my adblock

[EduardoWalcacer]

Taran, thank you very much for making this available for free.

[Glutoc]

This video was astoundingly well organized and honestly just satisfying to watch for the craftmanship of the tutorial
