Inclusion rule. A provider is listed when its own pages state what the question asks. Order. Providers in alphabetical order.
Tool makers teach filmmaking through their own product, so their lessons double as product training.
Their courses are short, mostly minutes rather than weeks, and open or enrolled at no charge.
Schools mostly teach longer and more broadly, and charge for it.
