As someone who uses Linux, I've found Blender + ffmpeg to be a powerful combo. Almost all of the videos on my channel use those two.
The video sequence editor in Blender is awesome for arranging tracks, audio, transitions, overlays, text, etc. And with ffmpeg you can move it to any format you need. To clean up audio I use Audacity.
- StavrosK 7y agoBlender? Really? Huh, I've been looking for a program to do some simple video editing. Would you happen to know of a good tutorial for the basics of non-linear video editing with Blender?
- steelframe 7y agoI've used Blender for video editing, but I had to pull up a fairly long Youtube video on how to set up my environment and choose settings in Blender's UI. I've just pulled down a 2.80 release candidate with the UI overhaul to see if it's any better. It's actually pretty nice. I just selected the video editor option in the startup screen, and things sort of worked like I expect in a NLE.
- StavrosK 7y agoOh huh, maybe I'll just get that then, thanks!
- mAritz 7y agoThe Mike Meyers[1] youtube tutorials are great. He will do 2.8 based tutorials soon. [1] https://www.youtube.com/user/MikeycalDOTcom/playlist https://www.youtube.com/user/MikeycalDOTcom/playlist
- StavrosK 7y agoThis seems very helpful, thanks!
- wybiral 7y agoIt takes some getting used to, but once you do it's pretty easy to use. I have a project file I use as a template with the top right panel set as Video Sequence Editor "Image Preview", the top left for Graph Editor (for transitions curves and stuff), the bottom half of the screen for the Video Sequence Editor for moving around the tracks. Then I just use Add -> Movie/Sound/Image/Effect for all of the actual editing. When I'm done I switch one of the panels to Properties where I have the render settings configured to use ffmpeg for MP4 output and hit Animate.
- skykooler 7y agoDoes Blender allow previewing the sound in videos yet?
- neop1x 7y agoPitivi is great until it starts crashing. Kdenlive is stable but adding texts is painful there. I didn't like Blender video editing much (though I don't remember why anymore).
