I like to play around with various bits of freeware and, if you're trying to do anything, there's almost guaranteed to be someone online who will tell you how to do it. It used to be the case that you'd find a website or blog somewhere with text and pictures, which is my preferred method of ingesting such information. These days, though, people tend to make YouTube videos.
And, in principle, that's okay, although it's less convenient if you, for example, have to go back a little way to ensure that you've understood something correctly.
My problem, however, is that the people who make these videos often seem to have no concept of editing a video (which is especially ironic if what they're teaching you is video editing) or, indeed, of working out what you're going to say before hitting record. So, more often than not, what you end up with is a 10 minute video which explains something that can easily be explained in 2 minutes, with interminable periods of people browsing through their file systems looking for a file to load up with which to demonstrate what they're trying to demonstrate, saying "um..." and pausing for ages while they try to remember what they've got to do next, doing something wrong then undoing it and doing what they should have done in the first place, and saying "now you want to apply the effect to all 10 tracks, so you apply it to this one....this one...then this one, like this...this one....and this one...apply it to this one...this one...this one...this one, too...this one...and, finally, this one."
Thanks for the video, guys, it really was helpful but...don't hit record until you're prepared, and edit out all the stuff that isn't necessary. Please.
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.
