Create this island in less than 7 minutes it is simple even for beginners.

As a beginner this is extremely difficult to follow, and is more of a sped up video of you creating an environment.
You’re not narrating or showing what menus to be using, what plugins are, where to find them, how to activate them, what keystrokes you’re using, and so on. Your video is aimed towards more experienced users.
Even setting the playback speed to 0.25, I’m still asking things like:
“Well how do you do that?”
“What do I press in order for that to happen?”
“What did they do in order for that to change that way?”
I’m not really learning anything here.
A lot of people release these sorts of videos in either the claim or hopes that it will teach, but it really further confuses and frustrates. It’s not that someone can create this in less than 7 minutes, it’s that the video is just seven minutes long. Just showing your work process isn’t enough, you genuinely have to teach someone who has no idea of what they’re looking at or what they’re doing.
Please understand that I’m not speaking maliciously, I’ve been trying to learn a great deal of different programs, Unreal Engine, Blender, Character Creator, and so on, and I keep running into this same problem. No one seems to be teaching, they’re showing what they can do and what can be done, but they’re not teaching us how to do it. It is unbelievably frustrating, especially given how badly I want to do this myself.
