What I liked most about the training was the technical color and video performance theory session. It helped me clearly understand the reasoning behind key production decisions, such as why specific frame rates are chosen for different types of videos and how particular color spaces impact visual quality and performance. Having this theoretical foundation made the technical concepts more meaningful and easier to apply in practical scenarios.
