Finding conceptual information in documentation

I work in technical documentation as a programmer, as my career recently. I can say that it is a project of many companies to remove conceptual information and replace it with behavior for people to imitate. You can see this everywhere, like in fast food restaurants where menus tell you things you want as a type of person, rather than items for you to choose according to your personal tastes. So, it's a trend everywhere to avoid thought and imitate behavior instead. This gets you television personalities as president. I hope a trend in the opposite direction will find favor again in a new form.

I have to say, I'm experiencing the same frustration, not with animation in general, but in using the program. The percentage of explanation regarding using it is minuscule compared to the creation of the puppet. I bought 10 puppets and am trying to use them in my music videos. It's very time consuming and frustrating, despite how much support there is from Adobe and the forum.

I think everything should be written down. I'm tired of trying to search through videos. Personally, I find searching through videos to be slower, despite the wonderful graphics.

I know, however, this is a very new program.

I think part of the problem is cost of production and maintenance of docs. It seems a common trend to have mainly reference from the vendor, then rely on community for guides and tutorials. Eg there are people on YouTube doing demos, there is a lynda course, etc. but no great shared resource linking to it all.

i found some really interesting free content (blogs) on script writing for example. i also found YouTube channels like SeamlessR on digital music production. Lots of pictures and tutorials on drawing cartoon characters And anime.

But I have not seen much on how to produce a cartoon from scratch. I wrote some blogs at extra-ordinary.tv (look for behind the scenes in the menu) but most I was capturing what I learnt because I did not find elsewhere. (Some of it was written as a novice.) I tried doing some YouTube videos as well, but not many views for the amount of effort (And the content is not very good!)

There were workshops at adobe Max this year as well. I assume you have seen the monthly tips and tricks videos from adobe. They talk more about achieving affects than specific features.
