this is how one teaches how to use After Effects, and what I needed. Every other videos says crash course, but are 4h long videos. I remember when I tried to learn the basics of photoshop, I struggled hard to find something that was simple. There is a place for deep dives, but I think it should come after setting up contexts by explaining the most basic features, and like you did, it should be at most 10 mn. I am now an advanced user of PS, and I could explain it in 5 to 10 mn how to kickstart oneself into photoshop (it isn't as complicated as I lead to believe when I first searched for such ressources).
