ILLUSTRATOR BASICS - PATHFINDER

In this Adobe Illustrator Basics video I break down the Pathfinder. Follow along with me as I demonstrate several of the functions such as unite, minus front, intersect, merge, divide, and crop. Besides the Pen Tool I would consider the Pathfinder one of the most important tools in my workflow. Hopefully this high level overview will help you start to master the Pathfinder.
If there is anything in this tutorial that you feel I missed or didn't cover clearly enough let me know in the comments below and I'll try to help you out. If you found this tutorial useful I'd also appreciate it if you gave the video a thumbs up.

Thanks Dave! Your explanation of how 'crop' can be a solution to the "please select two overlapping paths" error has just saved me so much headache!!! Nobody else bothered to explain that. So insanely happy you took the time to point it out :D
