Review from the lead developer of Shotcut
As the lead developer of Shotcut, I reviewed the entire course, and I think it is very good. James clearly and accurately explains many thing from basics to more advanced techniques such as picture-in-picture, chroma keying, and using custom HTML. The lessons are sequenced in a nice progressive manner, but you can also directly visit specific topics ~ Dan
Review from students
This lecture alone was worth the price of admission for me! And thank you for providing the sample clip to work with. I have zero experience with the whole chromakey / greenscreen etc. business but with your sample and the instruction here, I've been able to make it work fine in Shotcut. I am now looking on Amazon for a decent screen / stand kit to start experimenting with. Thanks again for a fine course. ~ Marc
... the content of your videos is clear, well-planned, and concise, and the video quality itself is very good. I would certainly recommend the series to others interested in using Shotcut,~ Chris Brandon
