The Bottom Line
Import, edit, and render video with the Blender VSE. Blender'sVideoSequenceEditor(VSE)isapower-
ful tool for cross-platform, multiformat video editing. One of its key strengths is the ease with which it can
handle a variety of different image, video, and audio formats both as input and as rendered output.
Master It Download the video idol_clip.mov from the website for this topic. Using a Transition
strip, animate the video image rotating in place. Render the resulting movie to a series of JPEG images.
Create transitions, overlays, and effects for your videos. The VSE has a variety of built-in effects and
transitions to enable you to edit video and do simple compositing quickly and easily. Alpha values of 3D
scenes also work seamlessly within the VSE.

the output to a new .avi file with sound.
Incorporate content directly from 3D or composited scenes into your videos. You can incorporate both
animated scenes from the 3D viewport and composited scenes from the node system directly into the VSE,
resulting in an extraordinarily powerful and integrated compositing and editing system.
Master It Use the output of the green screen compositing exercise from Chapter 4, “Rendering and
Render Engines,” in the VSE. Use a wipe to transition between the composited scene strip to another
video strip. Render the output to the format of your choice.
