Excellent tutorial. For those who had trouble keeping up with it: This is NOT an introduction to masks or adjustment layers. If you've never used those features before, you should probably look at some of the RUclips video tutorials on masks before you view this tutorial on more sophisticated techniques.
Here's a tip: never get a nerd to explain something technical. If the process is easy, they complicate it; if it's difficult, they make it impossible. By the time they've made their own mistakes, jumped back and forth to add or remove, you simply start to lose the will to live. By default, nerds are someone who knows what to do and how to do it, but the problems start when they attempt to explain it to someone who DOESN'T know. I have found that my own trial and error efforts take longer, but eventually give the results I want - it's a learning process that does away with nerds and increases one's own delights (and frustrations) of the programme. I want to start a new campaign = GRONFAT - Get Rid Of Nerds From All Tutorials, and let's have struggling amateurs who have managed to discover how to achieve successes and explain it in non-techy language.
Sometimes it's a little hard to see where you quickly click? I'm a total noob trying to learn so I appreciate this very much, just cant see it all very clearly.
@@mikecain3569 Thank you! I made it through 10 minutes of video and at least an hour of trying to follow...too fast, not enough explanation about where to go, why, and what's next. I find this to be a common issue with many instructional videos.
This has been a disappointment!!! I came here hoping to learn more about the program. I checked out after 10 minutes. Presenter knew what he was doing, but is a poor teacher.
As an editor. a technician, this fellow gets an A. He really knows the tools well. As a teacher he not good at all. He gets a D. Maybe this video is useful to those who have a full grasp of masks, and wish to learn some editing approaches. For those 'new to masks', to quote the video description, it's not helpful or useful. I don't see how that person could come away from this video with anything more than, yep, sticking a girl in front of a brick wall is better than having her in front of a white screen. A newcomer would be hard pressed to duplicate the narrator's steps much past opening PaintShopPro on his computer.
Looks like Brad was winging it. Between the errors he made at the beginning and then doing things without adequate explanation ("I'm doing this but not telling you how or why") and undoing things, I found this not to be helpful at all. I guess I've been spoiled by the Creative Live presentations which are mostly clear and methodical.
I hate tutorials that don't initially tell you what they are trying to accomplish, then they launch into a bunch of button clicking and the viewer sits there wondering what he's trying to do and where this is going.

Thanks Brad, you are truly brilliant.
thanks you for great turoials

Thank you for the great instruction it was very helpful to me
it's hard to masking hair, that's why green screen very helpful in this case.
A little too fast for me. Could you provide a transcript, please?
I need a primer on the use of blending modes. I've never used them, and have no idea what they do or when to use which one.

Just to help you on any Tutorial, on RUclips speed. On RUclips clik on "Parameters" and you can adjust the speed faster or slower .
Has that option always been there? I never noticed it before. I usually just paused or repeat sections that went by too quickly.
nice! ive learned a lot from this video..thanks! but what i've noticed is your pc takes time to render images..
Probably coz he'll also have a program recording his screen. Mine glitches hard when I'm doing that.
That's a really slow computer, right?
Wow. I feel really stupid. Could not follow most of this and gave up. UGH. I think there needs to be an ultra-beginner version of these webinars :(
By the time I found the button to press he was 5 steps ahead. I couldn't keep up either.

Corel have not learn to give us where we can have photos, images or illustration that they use so we could do the same like professionnal tutorial

ooopsss wrong, i will do it again... pffff wrong again... ! Right !!🤷♂
Why you're doing like you do? I see the racing cursor and don't know the action af your left hand. Sorry, a waste of time!
I am more confused than ever. Make it simple please.
Thanks for showing how smart you are and ignoring the explanation of how you did what you did so we could actually learn something...
Corel, just because someone is good at using software does not equate to them being able to teach. You never seem to learn this.
