Hi Creepjoint,

This course IS available at Ask.Video: https://ask.video/course/sample-pack-creation-101-designing-and-marketing-sample-packs

The difference between Ask.Video and Ask.Audio Academy is this:

Ask.Video has ALL category courses (audio, video, design, productivity, etc)

Hope this helps.
