Not really helpfull
I think I'll have to read the manuals as this tutorial is not going really deep. But it can be a good first impression of the plugins for people who don't like reading.

Response from Customer Service :
You are correct that this is an entry level tutorial that will show you the basics of the plug-ins and get you going. You can certainly use this to understand what you are working with.

Concise and Very Useful
I like this gent. He's very clear and covers a lot of stuff pretty quickly and painlessly. Only thing I can think of to suggest is I would have liked a bit more content: more complete coverage of the features - some were omitted entirely - more overview of the products at the beginning and a bit more demonstration of the s/w doing it's thing. Still, very well done.
