The age old question of resource levelling.

So many people do it wrong/badly by levelling using task dependencies. Using the MSP auto level is almost universally frowned upon and using the e delay (the proper route?) can be very time consuming. Even trainers from training companies who work with MSP regularly seem to want to use task dependency to accomplish this!

What is the best way especially when the schedule is large?

I agree with the suggestion - levelling is really a problem! I would appreciate such a video interview!

I also agree ... with both the idea of video interviews AND the levelling assistance! (great first video topic suggestion! Kudos!)

Why hasn't Microsoft implemented a Critical Path view that takes Resource AND Task constraints into consideration. Using one or the other doesn't necessarily give you the optimal Critical Path.
