Dammit putting stuff into the asset library is so counter intuitive, and at the same time this is the first video that expalins it clear, simple and direct

[@Geostationary0rbit]

I think thats the best explained video that really covers its current limitations as well

[@mind_of_a_darkhorse]

Thanks for pointing out the flaw, as it were, in the asset browser.

[@Keep-Making]

No problems, glad I could help

[@markcole4546]

Thank you. One of the more complete and informative tutorials I've watched to come to grips with the new A/B, though I did have to set the play speed to .75 to follow better.

[@TheMikoky]

Thanks for all the tutorials ... very good

[@ellieelias6336]

This is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no words for how cool this is! WOW! I'm new so this is game changer, really!

[@windworldwide8840]

usefull tip ! : with asset file open, ... drag drop an other file with assets, ... append this file, ... navigate to the materials ... select all (or the ones you want to add to your library) ... sort them ... save the blender file ... and you're done !

[@zaphodtrenchcoat]

Amazing thank you

Hey, could you make a tutorial on how to make a precise 45 deg cut to pipe. Thanks, your tutorial is amazing!

[@yakdaymar6659]

Good😃😃😃😃

I am new to blender, can you explain why we are able to see your precision parts in the asset browser, as my parts are not displaying as they are too small (2mm x 2mm), if I make objects 1000mm x 1000mm I can, but yours are very small too.

[@justinshears879]

Sorry didn't say, I'm using Blender 3.1.2

Tiny nitpick: they're not called "categories", they're "catalogs". Knowing the right term helps when searching stuff in the Blender manual ;-)

[@Keep-Making]

I don't get it... 3:44 I do say catalog...

@@Keep-Making You do, indeed. Not so much at 5:50 though. As I said, tiniest of nitpicks. The thing is, during development of the asset browser there were big hard-coded buttons in that space ("Objects", "Materials", "Animation", etc.) which were called "categories". Some earlier tutorials still refer to those, but they don't exist any more.

[@Aristocle]

you don't apply change(ctrl+A)

[@Keep-Making]

dose not work in blender 3.0 to my knowledge Or I'm doing something wrong. I gather you mean apply scale to them or something. Doing this throws an error for me " Cannot apply to a multi user: ... , aborting"

[@Aristocle]

@@Keep-Making Then, to change it, you need to import and not like an instance.

[@Keep-Making]

I'm pretty sure that it's with instances it's not working in blender 3.0 I get the exact same error when I do an instance array.

I've watched some of your other videos without seeing this TL;DR: bit at the start and I've gotta say... It's definitely too jarring to jump in immediately with that at the start of a full video, with or without that being the same vocal pace you use for the rest of the video as seen here. You need some kind of introduction before that and a transition leading into it or you'll alienate more viewers than you retain with half of them understanding what you're doing but being overwhelmed by the unforewarned data dump and the other half making unflattering assumptions about your video cuts or other editing and uploading skills that are likely undeserved.
Something like "Today I'm going to tell you about [topic] and I'm going to start with a brief summary/TL;DR: about what it is and how to install it" would probably be enough to prepare both sides of your target audience without sending those who wanted only the TL;DR: running to the next video in impatience.
