Using Blender’s video editor

By Heikki Hietala

Hi all,

it’s been some time since I last posted – Spring is always a busy time. I’ve been printing little gadgets and other stuff, some of which you can find on my account at Thingiverse.

But now it occurred to me to create little tutorial on basic video editing using Blender. Most people don’t know that Blender comes with a very handy and complete video editor, with which you can edit both sound and silent videos. I’ll start with a silent one, which I made using my late father’s 1962 vintage Bolex D8L camera featuring 4 minutes of live action per roll of film – planning ahead of shooting is a must. The clip is below, it is an excerpt of the full 4 minute film that I wanted to share with the pilot and my friends on Facebook.
