These videos were created by instructor Diego Garro to introduce his students to ArtMatic's basics. They provide a valuable overview of ArtMatic's rich feature set. They are not a replacement for the tutorials provided in pdf form (which go into greater detail), but they will quickly expose you to ArtMatic's many facets and basic concepts.
We recommend both watching these tutorials and also performing the tutorials provide in pdf form in the ArtMatic user guide. Many additional topics and techniques are covered in the printed tutorials.
