This is a helpful compilation of a lot of different tutorials collected by Creative Bloq.  There are a lot tutorials on here for beginners so I think I can reference a few different ones to get a full understanding of how to work the program. There are also some more advanced ones, like there is a tutorial about how to create a “glitch” effect, however for now I am sticking with the basics.
