I really appreciate your enthusiasm to offer feedback and taking the time to do so. Since this has been coming up a lot, I wanted to remind all of you that you can download my Vimeo videos and frame through them so that you aren’t struggling to guess what frame you see an issue. This video will show you how to do it and make your lives easier in the future.
