The course is missing a lot of information that a beginner needs. Many of the tutorials i noticed we dont even get the same footage to follow along. Some of the tutorials are already in his YouTube. This course shows you way very basics but missing a lot to start with. A beginner will still have to do a lot of research to UNDERSTAND things and thats where the course is not good. It shows you how to do the effect and the process but i don’t think it helps understand it. Many times there are things being adjusted during the editing and we are told the reason but not very clear on it from a beginner perspective. I found myself having to go to YouTube to clarify things or so.
ON THE GOOD SIDE The course helps to provide with some edit breakdowns and ideas other creatos have made and at least it points you the right direction and Ross is very good with checking in the FB group question and trying to explain videos people ask him to break down and he provides feed back to some of the students videos that i saw.
To be fair it was never promised it was a master class. It did help but not the level i wanted to.
I want to but the animation course but im just afraid it will be the same result as this one and ill be missing information or wouldnt explained for a very beginner to be able to understand.

The YouTube Channel Ross has created with Flat Pack FX is awesome!!! He ir really good at getting to comments and its a channel i give 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am very glad that I found such a professional as Ross. The course is not only very detailed, but comprehensive and understandable. Thank you very much! All your new items on my radars)

Ross is an excellent teacher and EVERY second of his tutorials are meaningful and helpful. I bought another AE course right before his, and 75% of the videos were just the teacher's screen recording at 2x speed and him doing vague narration over it - not good. Ross takes everything step by step and then repeats the basic stuff enough times so you actually learn the skills and can apply them yourselves. He goes slow enough to learn, but covers enough material to feel you're getting a comprehensive skill set when you're done. I find myself going back over each lesson several times because they are so valuable.

Ross is genuinely a great teacher. Order of operations is so important when you're doing simple to relatively complex animations, and his teaching style is both clear and paced in such a way that makes retaining the information so much easier. After each lesson you really come away a better animator, and feeling more confident in your ability to use AE like a tool - not just a mystery slot machine that it can feel like when you're new-ish. Great course - I recommend to anyone :)

This is a very good course!! Yes, of course these days theoretically you can find everything on YouTube. What makes this course different is that it provides the curated knowledge of an expert who is also a very effective teacher, which is another way of saying that it is going to save you a hell of a lot of time that you would otherwise waste trying to figure things on your own out on YouTube. Will it teach you everything there is to know? No, but it gets you started in most if not all of the areas that you need to become proficient at if you want to be good at VFX. It's definitely worth it!!!
