Classroom in a book remains the best available reference, but it has some serious problems in the way things are explained without adequate conceptualization. The online help and the adobe training videos are now 2025 even worse than years ago. There is no room for a trainer simply trying things on camera. There has to be some structure: the issue, concepts, and ways of post production editing. Adobe seems to be concealing its user guide reference manuals, in order to push the testing manuals and training videos

The online help is a quagmire. I don't need fifty variants of "look what I can do" noise when I am searching for something specific. PDF can be word searched, browsed by heading. The online help is a waste of my time. 99% of the time I get more search relevance using google. I am tired of the mess you call help. Please fix this train wreck.

I have to agree. The online help is a disaster.

And it is getting worse by the day. Useful information is disappearing.

I have to resort to older pdf version.

Dont count on this getting 'fixed'.

Contrast this with Resolve's 3,000+ page extensively hyperlinked PDF!

Unfortunately you are stuck with online help only (don't like it either)

The last pdf is from 2019.
