it's so smooth flow between the series u made, amazingly teaching me straight and very to the point and so motivating. Imagine English isn't my first language, but I understand the course and the concepts above all. Thank you man!

This is the best tutorials to learn After Effects

The course is well thought-out and easy to follow.
It is shocking that it's free as well, despite a few interruptions of Youtube Ads here and there. I purchased the practice files so I can follow along and they are well-organized as well. It's hard to fathom how much time Gareth must have put into making all the material! I can't say enough great things about this course and I'll urge anyone who's interested in learning After Effects to give it a go!

The files didn’t open

The files didn’t open, I tried opening them in many ways but they won’t open at all. Even the word file. It’s all encrypted

This is unfortunate to hear.

However, thousands of people have downloaded the files and used them perfectly without any issues. This is a very generous platform that puts a lot of time into making learning easy.

You shouldn't review bomb because you struggle using your computer. You should have reached out, and I would have been happy to assist you.

It just comes across as ungrateful.

Seamless Download Experience

I recently downloaded a resource from garethdavidstudio.com, and I was thoroughly impressed with how smooth and easy the process was. The website is user-friendly, and I had no issues finding and accessing the content I needed. The download was quick and straightforward, making it a hassle-free experience. I highly recommend Gareth David Studio for their well-organized resources and seamless user experience!

Hi Ken,

Sorry, this review makes no sense.

There is nothing that GDS offers that has anything to do with MotionDuck.

If you are having issues with MotionDuck please don't lay the blame on anything that GDS offers.

The only animation product that GDS has covered is After Effects, which has nothing to do with Motion Duck.

So you review here is mistaken and misguided.

Design Poster Masterclass

In-depth and detailed explanation of the poster design process. This course can be used for any general design project.

E-book is very affordable, highly recommend for beginner to advanced designers.

Priceless experience for beginners

For absolute beginners this is priceless on it's own and for the £5.50 he charges for the source material to follow along with the course it's an absolute steal. I completed this in less than a month while working full-time and feel confident to move into more advanced courses now because I've learned the basics from scratch.
