The yellow and blue annotations in the screenshot above show what important for processing a series of pngs with the compositing nodes: in this set-up, navigation is posible by moving the sequence playhead (the green line at frame 940) for previewing diferent parts (individual frames) of the nodes processed video. The particular filters used here may be experimental and only make sense for this clip, but a couple of combinations can be useful for other projects (values would ned todo be adjusted): Gaus-darken for a ton lok, screen-overlay-mix for optimising an image, sharpen- Soften for focus related compositing tasks (high values for sharpen may introduce artefactos). I load the previously exported (*.png) sequence into the compositing nodes and let it run th rouge a series of filters: DV video artefactos get smoothed out and my own graininess/structure and artefactos get added. The annotations in the screenshot above show what important for exporting/rendering. (f10 (pressed múltiple times) for switching between the Sequencer buttons when editing and the render buttons when exporting). I export the edited clip as a (*.png) sequence (= series of (*.png) images). I move the unused clips into metastrips on the left.Īs before, y use (number pad) (normally used for zoming in on a single clip) for focusing the sequence window todo the área that i actually want todo se when editing. The basic structure for the edited video: details/close-ups at the beginning, the artists performing in the middle and a longer zoom out close todo the end. Then i move the best of the previously sorted clips todo roughly where i ned them and work on the details again using shift s for Snap editing and a los for Grab todo shorten/extend a clip start/end. I use markers for the points where the singing starts. Then i move the really god Stuff clips in the appropriate track (for moving clips up or down without moving them in time i once again use and, for selecting múltiple clips i use for border select). I adjust the sequence window with (number pad) todo fit the channels todo my tagged tracks.

I add a text editor window left of my sequence and name/tag my tracks. I use the Blender text editor for taquíng notes. Frame 6 067 is now the last one After the really god Stuff is moved together (that down from 20,520 from the previous step).

Since i easily get realtime playbak using DV footage (no effects applied) with Ubuntu 8.04 and Blender 2.48a on my PC (current Core 2 Duo processor, 2 Gb of Ram and a reasonably fast 250 Gb hard-drive) this work-flow allows me todo find my in and out points while looking at moving images the bien the audience Will se it.

Same procedure as above (1: selecting the god Stuff) with the mouse over the image preview window (top right) and / for going bak and Forth. The white numbers on the right show the last frame of the god Stuff (top), the music track (middle) and the unused clips etc, that are now a los inside the muted metastrip (bottom).įigure 3: selecting the really god Stuff. I move the selected clips together using for snapping clip todo clip. (you can use the stamp render option for overlaying time información.) then i make a back-up of the.blend. I kep the uncut original inside a (muted) metastrip should i ned it later since i am working without a time-code. The god Stuff gets moved upwards a row (= channel) with for Grab and for y-axis. In the timeline (= sequence): for Cut and [shift for Snap editing (shortens/extends clip todo the playhead when start/end is selected). I load all of my footage into the Blender video sequence editor (vse) and start selecting the god Stuff: with the mouse over the image preview window. Introduction for everything you ned todo get started with the Blender vse se ha los the video editing preset (and for making titles) the 2d title presets.blend files bundled with this edition of blenderart magazine.
