Blender 2.8 Video Editing - Transformations, Rotations, Keyframes, Fades, Images

[@dj_my_wrong869]

Great content I really appreciate content creators like you

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

I appreciate that!

[@obscuredtitan2841]

This was helpful. Thanks! I was told by one of my friends who said she's used it a lot and helped her. I'm looking forward to using Blender as an editing software soon.

[@andrewjohnson8316]

Just needed to know how to rotate my video for cam tracking, thanks a bunch. Wonderful video, godspeed.

[@camrenkimmerling9406]

Adobe Premier is really expensive, I want to start filming on a channel I'm starting, blender was really confsuing and I spent 30 minutes just trying to figure out how to get to video editing area, your video is really helping me out

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

You can do it!

[@MIDesignkeralahousedesign]

Thanks

[@theDemolisher13]

How do you bring in that second little box on the bottom right 4:18

[@ActEditsHD]

bro plz answer this is all i needed to know n you skipped v i cant edit my thing without that at this point

[@Bechooch]

I just figured it out- you click on the far left side of the sequencer then drag till you get two boxes

[@mamefavoritesplaylists]

You Made Blender easier to use. Thanks for great video!

[@reignitedguard333]

This helped me quite a bit with just the thing I needed, easy to understand and recreate. Thanks!

[@lasagner9567]

I get the issue where the image rotates around the wrong pivot, almost like an orbit instead of a spin on its own axis and I have no idea how to change that

[@UnMainstream]

The slow zoom that’s done on the more important parts of the video. Most experienced KZbinrs seem to use this. Is this done by key framing the scale up and down?

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Yeah just frame in a resize

[@poonamrana5201]

Best video I ever had seen

[@AirskiiMusic]

Loving the adobe premier pro adverts in this video :p

[@jonathanwesleydudzik5669]

Thank you for this helpful tutorial. I appreciate the informal walk-through nature of this tutorial compared to tutorials that are very specific. Sometimes it is nice just to get a general overview of something.

[@ratanavanno]

Which key do you hit to get the dope sheet that you show at 4:17?

[@MicahSnobelen]

i know its been a year, but he right clicks on the top right box, then he clicks on area -> horizontal split

[@jakob411]

This was a helpful video with the dope sheet, I haven't stumbled into that yet. Just a note about your 'hard cut' - shift+k is a 'hold cut' found under the strip menu. Hold cut allows the frame that shows in the black bar to be frozen. It's a great way to stop a video without using any image transitions - so it works well if, for example, you need to talk about a certain aspect without running a new recording.

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

That is good to know on the Hold Cut, I was looking for that on one vid and gave up and just took a screenshot of the frame lol

[@jakob411]

I saw other video guides mentioning using a render screenshot, but the quality didn't match consistently. Hold cut is much better!

[@michaeliskoo88]

Thanks for making this video was exactly what i needed

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Glad it helped

[@jonathanhutchinson5649]

I played around with this today. So cool what you can do, like it’s a little bit nuts. Definitely some weirdness in it, but lots of good options. Although I am finding I end up running out of screen space once you have a load of collapsed menus and pullouts open in different windows 😂

[@footerballer1]

Excellent video, short and informative with pinpoint accuracy!! Love it!! Subscribed.

[@devanndonovan8907]

So helpful! I can't seem to find any information on how to crop my video image? I have a lot of empty space and unnecessary background in my video and is it possible to crop the visual in blender?

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Short answer is yes, you can crop your video image. Click on your video clip in the sequencer, look at the properties over on the right. You will see a Transform section (or at least I do on the latest version of blender with default settings). There you will see options for Mirror, Offset, Crop, Video, and Color.

[@SoSuspicious_]

Have you check to make sure that your video clip and your output render resolution are the same? i feel like that could give you some extra space around your video

[@dopamineaddict9690]

thx a lot, exactly what i needed :)

[@isaackis3476]

Thank you so much for this, how can I speed up a video?

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Good question, it is a bit odd in Blender but can be done. I'll make a video on it this week.

[@wailfulcrab]

Add -> Effect Strip -> Speed Control. The settings are quite fiddly to setup though.

[@nateneal8384]

Hey, nice vid, just wondering @4:20 you brought over a new menu for the transform menu, how'd you do that?

[@lavcolic4637]

I was wondering that too. You can "pull it out" with left click just drag the window from the very back of the thing.

[@wailfulcrab]

Drag the corner of the window to split it. You can do the same thing right clicking the black separation bar and select "split area"

[@ActEditsHD]

@@wailfulcrab thnx literaly the corner of the little box

[@thewtalkstrash2367]

Love 4 20

[@billpliske]

Well done, man.

[@InclinaProduction]

Can you make a video stack on top of each other beings the one in the higher layer smaller and the one in the bottom bigger? Or can i put two video next to each other.

[@trambochavideos]

gracias!

[@adamellison005]

Thanks for the great explanation. I'm trying to get it to transform a simple image and can't get the rotate or zoom to work on an image, but it works fine on a video clip. Any idea how to get it to work on a still image without converting every still image into a separate video?

[@YoshiroPoh]

Do you mean zooming a frame of a video? How about rendering a still image of the video by "screenshoting" that frame (Believe alt+f12?) and import that image into the particular frame? PArt A > Still Image > Part B? Just an idea..

[@Sytierix]

@@YoshiroPoh like zooming in like making an image bigger how do u do that

[@ganz7ful]

Although this video saved me, after an hour of trying to figure why it was not working for me, there were a lot of things that were glossed over: the need to hover the mouse over the strip value element you want to change before pressing the i key on the keyboard. On my version of Blender 2.83 I couldn't use the transform for changing audio volume.. Teaching is not as easy as we think

[@joshie_does]

And since there's keyframing capabilities, is there a way to edit the graph in the video editor???

[@fakos7]

hey great videos! i've just started doing video edits on blender and it's really good. the only thing, as you've mentioned in the past videos, it's really laggy to see your progress through the 'Preview' option in the Sequencer and that's okay, I managed to do everything through the normal Sequencer tab. That being said, I want to now add video (and audio) effects to my edited strips, but it makes it a lot more difficult as it's too laggy to do it through Preview. Doing video effects through the normal Sequencer is too much of a pain as you can't see your progress in a timely manner. Is there anything else I could do to? Even to make it easier or seemless? Hope that made sense, thanks!

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Working with audio is notoriously difficult as the previewer lets the audio continue while the video lags behind. Turning off the video preview will sorta fix that, but then you can't see the video. I haven't found a better solution to this other than to use a different program.

[@tonya-yc6od]

I think something that helps is creating a proxy for the video strip. You just tap on the video strip look to the settings on the right. Go to the proxy thing and check the box for strip proxy and time code. After make sure you put it at like 25 percent. Click Rebuild proxy and time code indices. Then click in the black space of the preview area and hit the N key. And then under the proxy render size put it to 25 percent. It will make the preview of the video not as good in resolution but it should still render the right resolution that your video is in and the one that you have set up in the scene.

[@perpetualdrips]

@@tonya-yc6od Second this. Saved me so much frustration when i learned how to do that

[@psalm8453]

Any idea on how to rotate the image or video from the sides? Like set the achor point at the corners?

[@kwynintelligence435]

great ... just what I was looking for ... I wonder how one could bring in scenes (and its capabilities :-)

[@imrunningoutofspace]

Hey, great video! Is there a way to copy the various modifications we made with the effect strip to another image/video? I see that I can copy "modifiers", but I want to have default templates for zoom in/out, pan left/right, etc.

[@mochachobonkai5151]

how'd you pull out an extra sheet called dope sheet. did you duplicate the tab or something, you seem to have skipped that part entirely. I can only use the one up top which i don't intend.

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

That is just part of the blender interface. You just drag from the corner of any of the boxes.

[@thornessa]

thank you so much!

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Glad it helped!

[@JanneBoere]

Thanks for this video! What if I have a transform effect strip with a video and want to split the video with the strip? Whenever I try this the new split half of the video does not have the effects I created on my transform effect strip.

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Thanks for the question. Usually what I do in that case is Render the transformed area, then bring in that rendered piece to work with. I realize this probably isn't optimal but I haven't found a better solution for those odd transform cases.

[@lovlegacy7005]

Need some help. So I recorded a video vertically, and when I rotate it in blender it gets cropped. The bottom and top parts of the video get cut out, like the resolutions of the video are wrong. I tried changing the res, but that only stretches the video. How do I rotate a video and keep its original res after it gets rotated. I found an old video of a guy doing it, but it doesn't seem to work with the new blender. PLZ HELP!!!

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

It's hard to fully understand without seeing it, but in those cases you can often just tick Uniform Scale on the transformation layer and then Scale it up some until it fits the whole screen. Best of luck to you.

[@ydherdn]

Thank You

[@RyanZafar]

how did you bring up the 2nd header at 4:19 ?

[@chessie2003]

If you click and drag the upper right corner of the sequencer ("behind" it) you can drag in a new window.

[@janikwellmann]

Thank youuuu!

[@Lp-ze1tg]

What about convert 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9 without cropping?

[@softwarelivre2389]

That's bad, because you will end up stretching your video, unless you use black bars on the empty space.

[@crimsonskorpio]

Thanks for this video. I'm looking into free alternatives to replace my adobe software (it's getting expensive with no income sadly). I'm already using Blender for modeling, but I didn't know it had the capibility to edit videos just like After Effects or Premier Pro.

[@solmillin]

Much appreciated :)

[@christophepelletier2901]

Merci !

[@ActuallyAFungus]

but how do you transform a clip that's on top of another one without transforming both of them?

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

add separate transforms for each. be sure to change the opacity and layer type, I believe it defaults to replace, which doesn't allow for backdrop effects

[@ballin2104]

Whole video zooms in when using the Dope Sheet. Idk what is going on. Help

[@nezukochan8202]

How I can get motion like the image spin or something

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

Timeline in a rotation on the properties of the image, or add a transformation layer and operate on that

[@Mirza6769ch]

Like it but how to zoom in?

[@Mirza6769ch]

Skepz alright thanks man

[@alopeztywonek2401]

Doesn't work... There is a part when you say "it is a part of blender" while bringing up another tool bar and you never show to do it. I found a way to open a similar window in another place. However, pressing "i" did nothing, I had to do it manually. Even though, there was no animation

[@wavegaming6745]

thx but where is a render button

[@jakob411]

Render is a link on the top menu, or you can press ctrl + f12.

[@protossscud8435]

Blender video and audio syncing got problem !

[@CodeTechandTutorials]

I noticed some of that too. Newer versions of Blender might be better.

[@ediciushawthorne7389]

Im tryon to learn how to zoom on a specific spot as i walk by and im having no luck
