Blender VSE Unofficial Docs

This documentation about editing video in Blender is structured in three sections. It’s written in a more workflow-oriented approach than the official Blender Reference documentation.

Video Sequence Editor

This section describes the Video Sequence Editor; sometimes also called the Sequencer. It is Blender’s dedicated tool or editor to handle video footage. This is the software corner where you’ll spend most of your time as a video editor. So, it is absolutely necessary that you can work fluently and fast in this editor. We describe the major components and and their working.

Video Editing

The Video Editing section is split into 3 chapters, representing a typical workflow of a video editing project: Setup, Edit and Render. You can think of these phases as : pre-editing, editing and post-editing. The editing subsection is of course the most comprehensive with info on montage, effects, color grading and sound editing.

Extra tools

Although Blender’s VSE is more than a capable video editor, you will need sometimes some extra-tools to accomplish things such as changing the Exif-data of your source-files, converting media formats, automating some operations. We give a short introduction to the following open-source tools such as Python, ffmpeg, MediaInfo, and ExifTools. —
