Techniques forgotten after watching
You watch a masterclass on lighting but by next month, the specific technique is a blur. The bookmark is buried under hundreds of others.
No searchable technique collection
Even when you save techniques, there's no way to search "dolly zoom" or "orange and teal grade" across your bookmarks.
Starting from scratch each project
Without a curated collection of techniques, every new project starts with fresh research instead of building on what you already know works.
