Hey everyone!
Testing Blender’s VSE (Video Sequence Editor) for my editing needs. So far it’s working well, once God helped me figure out how to get the audio and video the same length. (Clue: import the audio and video separately, then make a meta strip to keep them together if you want to.)
Testing Blender VSE with HD proxy
(Watching the video real-time with a 25% proxy is great! Unlike using Premiere Pro 1.0, playing the video back on Blender’s preview window is fast enough and sweet for viewing!)
Interlacing is bad, so I may use VirtualDub for that. Depends.
If I can get good results from Blender, I may go with it for now and keep the JVC Everio GZ-HD7, instead of downsizing my camcorder.
Hopefully BlenderAVC will continue to be developed so I can import my video directly (without worrying about conversion.)
I hope this all works out! Thanks to all who recommended using Blender for editing my video. I should have tried it again earlier – then again, what’s wrong with now? “The road goes ever one” as Bilbo sings, and it’s the journey that brings memories and experience.
Best wishes, peace out,
