Hi, friends!
I hope everyone is doing great. Happy March!
It's time for a new edition of our Community Recap. This month, we want to spotlight our long-time Adobe Community Professional, Joost van der Hoeven. Joost is a familiar face in the After Effects and Premiere Pro community. He has been around since 2009 (wow!) and has contributed over 800 posts. Let's hear about Joost in his own words.
Community Highlight
Besides working as a designer, Joost teaches software programs he uses himself every day. He's an Apple Certified Pro and Adobe Certified Instructor. Being a Master Trainer for Adobe, he also develops Adobe manuals, like know-how tutorial videos about specific software tools.
Animotion's training programs focus on know-why rather than know-how; students learn why headers sometimes work better when they're not animated or why you would decide to cut a film to one minute instead of seven. After the know-why, the know-how will automatically follow. This efficiency is key in Animotion's training programs.
Teaching software and working with it at the same time, is a perfect combination, says Joost: "Coming across the same difficulties and problems as my students make it easier to explain the challenges of software functionalities."
Joost is a creative designer and passionate teacher. Students often refer to him as a living, breathing software manual. He's proud of this, of course, but he'd never advise students to become a 'manual' themselves unless their dream is to become a software trainer too. All other students will benefit more from customized and efficient training programs focused on expanding and strengthening their core business.
Joost van der Hoeven is an Adobe Community Professional, Adobe Certified Instructor, Adobe Certified Professional, and Adobe Education Leader.
Joost, we want to thank you for sticking around so long 🙏🏻.

Workaround 3: Unplug the secondary monitor (if you have dual monitors)
