Best beginner-to-advanced course for Adobe Aftereffects (free or paid)?

Best beginner-to-advanced course for Adobe Aftereffects (free or paid)?

I'm trying to learn Adobe Aftereffects properly and I'm looking for a well-structured course that goes from complete beginner to an advanced/professional level.

I'm open to both free and paid courses, but I'd love recommendations from people who have actually taken them and felt they were worth the time (and money, if paid).

A few things I'm specifically looking for:

  • A clear beginner → advanced learning path
  • Real projects or practical exercises
  • Good editing/workflow habits, not just button-by-button tutorials
  • Coverage of professional workflows used in real-world editing
  • A certificate or certification at the end that can be used as proof of skills for clients, employers, internships, or freelance work

I'd also like to know:

  • Which course would you choose if you were starting from scratch today?
  • Are the official training/certification programs for this software worth doing?
  • Do employers or clients in editing actually care about certificates, or is a portfolio much more important?
  • Are there any structured programs that combine training, assignments, feedback, and certification rather than just video lessons?

I'm mainly looking for something comprehensive and structured, not a random collection of YouTube tutorials (although if there's an exceptional free playlist that rivals a paid course, please mention it).

Thanks in advance—I'd really appreciate recommendations from editors who have gone through a full learning path themselves.

Best video editing courses (free or paid) that are actually worth it

I've been trying to find a really good video editing course, but there are so many options that it's hard to tell what's genuinely worth doing.

I'm looking for a well-structured course that goes from beginner to advanced, whether it's free or paid. I don't mind paying if it's genuinely one of the best, but I'd also love to know if there are free courses that are just as good.

I'm mainly interested in courses for industry-standard editing software, like:

  • DaVinci Resolve
  • Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Final Cut Pro

(Not really looking for courses on software like Blender, Maya, Houdini, etc.)

A few questions:

  • Which courses would you personally recommend?
  • Which free courses are genuinely excellent?
  • Which paid courses are actually worth the money?
  • Are there any courses that come with a certificate or certification that's respected by employers or clients, or is that not really something people care about in this industry?
  • Are there any programs that teach multiple editing applications (for example, Premiere Pro + DaVinci Resolve + Final Cut Pro) instead of focusing on just one?

I'm mainly after something structured and comprehensive, rather than a collection of random YouTube tutorials. That said, if there's a YouTube playlist that's so good it rivals a paid course, I'd love to know about it too.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who've actually taken these courses or hired editors who've learned through them. Thanks!

Am I the only one who wishes Ted had dated Nora instead of Barney? I think they would've made a great couple.

Guys, I need your help in deciding the first IEM for me Purchasing Advice

It's only been a day since I discovered that IEMs exist, and I wanna try one now to see what makes them different. I am too weak to decide anything for myself. My budget is $20-30 (can stretch to 40 if I am getting a meaningful upgrade or a better deal).

https://preview.redd.it/jsv4aefzdnah1.jpg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=088df93970d35b1aa9c79ea4aa90a1834b5d9792

From reading the posts in this sub, I figured :

  1. KZ earphones have QC issues, they come with a trash cable, and they engage in malpractices as well.
  2. Moondrop chu 2 is good, but users complain that one side stops functioning after some use. Also it's not built to handle any humidity whatsoever.
  3. Cables with in line earphones can (do?) reduce sound quality.

Is there anything that comes from a company which doesn't engage in shady stuff, has a decent build quality (I use things gently so no big issue), and punches kinda above the price when it comes to sound quality, and lasts atleast a few months.

I wish I could increase my budget, but can't go far beyond cos it's my first purchase and I'm not even sure yet if this is my thing.

P.S. I sort of remember someone saying that you should go for IEMs above $50 only cos the ones in $20-30 range come with a cable so poor that it ruins your listening experience. Is it?do let me know please, and thanks everyone who's read this far.

I recently noticed that Swagger Sharma hasn't posted since more than a year, and then I looked up other comedy creators as well and noticed a pattern. Why are the comedy creators like Ashish Chanchalani, BB ki Vines, Swagger Sharma, MostlySane, Carryminati, etc. are slowly moving away from YouTube?
