Yeah, it's definitely a disappointing onboarding. It looks like the site is there to host a single video, but actually the real value is hidden on the left

And there's not much value there, because there's no structure apart from alphabetical in that list.

Which are the most important knobs to twist? Which ones should you never, never touch without 20 years' experience and a very peculiar requirement?

Give me something to read, please. "In one ear and out the other" is a saying for a very good reason.

Thank you for the feedback, we take it seriously.

There's an upcoming new version that will come with something similar to what you say: some "guide" on which parameters to tune, classified by categories, and with varying level of "expertise" (basic, medium, advanced). With specific guidance for those set of parameters.

Would that be useful to you?

Yes, it would. Thanks!
