Which path to start on
The three paths are the same library read in order of difficulty rather than by subject. They are not a course with prerequisites — you can read an intermediate article on day one — but the order reflects what tends to pay off first. Almost everything that makes a video watchable is decided by the beginner material: where the cuts land, whether the dialogue is level, and whether the export settings match the destination.
| Beginner | The fundamentals, and the largest section. Cuts, basic colour, sound that does not drive people away, exports that survive upload. |
|---|---|
| Intermediate | Consistency across several sources: matching shots, matching loudness, holding a rhythm over a longer cut. |
| Advanced | Compositing, node-based grading and built sound design. The smallest section, and still growing. |
