Course content

8 sections • 37 lectures • 2h 48m total length

  • Introduction4:15

    In this course we take a look at Blender’s video sequence editor. The course covers some of the important tools within the VSE so you can get creating quickly. The Video sequence Editor in Blender is a joy to use and once you have gotten to grips with it something you will use time and time again. The course has a practical aspect where I would ask you to follow along and complete the lectures before moving on.

  • Where to Get Your Copy of Blender & the Installation Process4:51

    Visit Blender.org for the latest version of Blender, the free and open source software suite. Go to the download page; download a copy of Blender suitable to your operating system.

    Visit videolan.org for the free and open source media player VLC

  • What is the VLC Media Player2:35

    Please follow this lecture carefully and enable all the add-ons and keyboard arrangements so you can enjoy the course without confusion.

  • What is the Video Editing Workspace and How to Customize It4:54

    Blender has different screen arrangements and we will begin by choosing one of these. We will however add a couple more editors and make the screen arrangement more functional for our needs.

  • Mastering File Saving and Crash Recovery in Blender3:37

    The video sequencer is all about adding media so we begin by adding a short video strip for some simple demonstration. This is an mp4 container, meaning it holds both a video and audio file. The audio and video will come into the sequencer on different channels so you can edit them individually or as one. 

  • Customizing Blender's Interface5:11

    When we import the video clip we find it extends beyond the default 250 frames limit on the sequencer. This limit is easily controlled and extended using the controls on the timeline editor.

  • Mastering Blender’s Shortcut Keys And Accessing The Guide2:57

    Hiding or muting a clip on the sequencer simply means it does not interfere on playback or be rendered out in the final video. With the clip selected the shortcut key H mutes the clip. Alt + H un-mutes the clip. 

Requirements

  • A computer capable of running Blender, the free and open-source software (available for Windows, Mac, or Linux).
  • A three-button mouse is recommended for smoother navigation in Blender.
  • No prior Blender knowledge required—beginners are welcome!
