one of the best tutorials ever, this is super useful, demistifies the compositing for newer artists, on-screen text everybody need someday in their lives... makes use of the video sequecer(which i personally adore), thank you

[@bhargavkalita2207]

We need more lessons on blenders compositor

[@hamzazane5218]

you prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother these days xD

[@romancallum9239]

@Hamza Zane Definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for years myself :)

[@deepatterson1894]

I am glad that your video popped up! This is really cool stuff! My mind is already wandering how I can use scenes and compositing in my animations!

[@johnleighdesigns]

this was great to see! In Blender 3.3 the view tab with shading settings for wireframe, sold and rendered views is really well hidden you have to know its there to find it and drag it open in the preview tab!

[@dzintisruzaikis8192]

Got a chuckle out of me, by saying it is weird by not having the classic "point light", "default cube", "default camera" in your new scene, just because I have not seen those three things almost a year since changing my startup scene to be blank 👌

[@affinityid]

this is just what i need right now!!! THANKS

[@CBaileyFilm]

Awesome Affinity ID! So glad you've found it helpful. :-)

[@robestey5628]

Holy smokes that is neat. Thank you.

[@toapyandfriends]

4:23 🤣

[@bcfillms]

Amazing!

[@jacobcosquer]

I would absolutely love to see the project where you used the gradient to transition textures between scenes.

[@The1stcircle]

Thank you for sharing 🎉

[@landel_]

I was lost trying to mix 2 layers. It was always getting too much or too little light. The "transparent" option saved me. Thanks!

[@kushagrachaturvedi3144]

please make a video on how to do graph editor for character animation not for bouncing ball its not able to understand i want know how to use graph editor for complex human animation please

[@thetechbro94]

Love your content! Also, you can reroute Nodes using Shift right click drag.

[@CBaileyFilm]

Nice! Thanks The TechBro!

[@toapyandfriends]

😀'thanks!

[@nothingnothing3211]

Awesome! It's funny how the options have been infront of our eyes but we never bothered to check them.

[@IrocZIV]

Very helpful.

[@BenLe42]

Oh my, that's a very useful feature, damn, thanks

[@nikiwang2160]

Awesome！👍

[@CocOnUtsUniverse]

Very clever! 😁 (BTW did you check that both cams have the same fov, and both scenes are rendering the same resolution? Either or both would explain that strange scaling difference you're getting here)

[@CBaileyFilm]

I think it was the orthographic camera that messed me up. Scene resolution actually stays linked across all scenes, so it had to be the camera. Good thinking!

[@toapyandfriends]

11:35 🤣...😀

[@Ravanananda]

awesome!!!

[@aksi221]

thanks you are amazing !

[@deod087]

really very helpful!

[@sanketdas9516]

Just love your content

[@CBaileyFilm]

Thanks so much!

[@crimsonlaboratories1532]

Holy Molly!!

[@emileravenet]

Man ur top 5 blender gurus

[@Knockheart]

Thank you for your videos! It seems Blender is totally underestimated, it has a lot of simple features allowing to create a very complex stuff.

[@Satabol]

Very nice, but is it possible do not use sequencer for alpha? I saw compositing parameter for a strip in sidebar.

[@lazaredurand6675]

In the mix node the alfa value is take in consideration only if I select "screen"

[@gavinpenrose]

Never a bad video from you :))))))

[@obikejeremiah7968]

Very nice video I must say. But how did you get the ripple effect that you used as some sort to signal for the car?

[@3D_Unleashed]

Hi how did you create that nice smooth camera movement? did u parent the camera to an empty which is parented to the car?

[@toapyandfriends]

I tried to use few layers to composite a complex neighborhood scene and it turned out that it was hard to make all the layers transparent And also render out an image of the HDRI But with this message I can...thank you!😀

[@craigbaker6382]

SUUUUPER helpful. Thank you. WOW are there ever things this teaches me. ALSO: why WAS the text such a different scale in the sequence editor's rendered view vs the rendered vieport viewer?

[@garyjacobson4298]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Sort of..... It is a great technique, but unfortunately, although I was able to get everything to work brilliantly in a simple test project, in a much more complex project only one of the two scenes would animate for me. The scene containing the text overlay would not show up in the composite render or even in the Video Sequencer Preview. Could a heavy rendering load bog down the Video Sequencer so much that the text layer would fail to update? After trying everything I can think of, I'm left with rendering the two scenes separately and combining them in the Video Sequencer.

[@rudypieplenbosch6752]

Very interesting, what I don't get is this transparent shader, you did not connect any input to it. You mention, anything black gets turned into transparent, but if I want to put some text which contains black, over the other scene this does not work, it should be possible to tell the transparent shader what to make transparent and what not. But very interesting info you share here.

[@mr.pinouxinc4293]

Smart and powerfull indeed. But still somehow convoluted and tricky to get it right. Definitely something to improve here.

[@shavaughndavidson2257]

Jan urschel created a cover art for kitbash3d neo tokyo and am wondering can it be recreated in blender

[@CBaileyFilm]

Yes!

[@stuartpurdue]

Hi Chris. Great video. Where did you download the car assets from?

[@CBaileyFilm]

Thanks for the reminder! Here's where I found it: www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/car/suv/mercedes-benz-gls-580-2020

[@aksi221]

are there any videos that show how to do what you talked about in 15:25?

[@4KProductionsFilms]

Drat! Missed the Live Chat during the premiere.

[@CBaileyFilm]

drat!

[@Furkan.241]

the animation remembers me on the neo docu xD

[@flashymonk12]

Awesome camera moves....

[@discosexguru]

how do you know all this

[@lermabeats5158]

Is there a way to render a scene for 100 frames and another scene for 1000 frames and just have the first scene loop after being rendered instead of rendering 1000 frames?

[@CBaileyFilm]

Not that I've been able to work out. I REALLY want this feature. From what I can see you have to just render each scene separately.

[@Rectifier532]

One thing I have to figure out is how to sequence more than one scene in blender like one after another with scenes not cameras

[@MarkSmith]

Nice to know. You could have just supered it over in the compositor.

[@deepatterson1894]

curious if we are going to see it on a commercial?

[@jessicabaker7399]

Hi I have created a few scenes 1 - movie 2 - Intro - which is a scene containing an image seq and a bg colour 3 - Presentation - Which is a compositor of image seq plus various filters, green screen removal , colour correct a couple of tracked masks etc. When I play Presentation Scene in Compositor all looks good. I change to movie scene and and Video Editing. I add the Intro scene it works no problem. So now the movie scene is vse and has the intro scene added. I add the Presentation scene to the movie scene in video seo and get a black screen . I have selected sequencer as the scene input. It is set to alpha over , everything else is defaults and also look to have the same values as the intro. The only difference between into and presentation, is intro is a vse the Presentation scene is compositor. It has viewer and composite as outputs. The layout, default cube removed. Cam set to origin, with alt R alt S etc then a g Z to move it above the base. As a test, I rendered out the Presentation scene as pngs and it works file. Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong ? Thank you for your help. J

[@CBaileyFilm]

I think the issue is with compositor, I don't think it works very well with the sequencer yet. In the next update this might improve, but I'm not sure. That's my guess. I would render out the compositor scene as PNGs and use that in sequencer instead for that section. Good luck!

[@jessicabaker7399]

@@CBaileyFilm As always thank you for taking the time to reply. The problem turns out I think is compositor cannot feed into to VSE. Blender Frenzy give a good explanation of blender processing. kzbin.info_link?a=rGY9FGHnp-cVyljD&u=/watch%3Fv%3DK1DTr0Nt39g%26feature%3Dem-comments I do not know if I have found the best answer as it a little messy. Have a blend for each part that needs compositoring -> out to pngs RGBA Finally have a blend as a vse project, this can have a scene for each of the previously processed blends / pngs ) and bring each of the components into a final video. Ive created shell scripts to process each blend which reduces human error and makes everything repeatable and runs blender in batch mode. Another reason for this is for some reason my pc has problems processing a clip >> 7000 ( dont know why, it has 80G of Ram, losts of ssd etc etc, blender 3.1.2 -which seems a bit buggy so may go back to 3.0.1 ). Using a script lets me cut the processing into 5000 frame chunks. Also it lets me use unix background etc etc. It is messy but so far seems to work. It would be nice to just have a single blend for everything but I cant make that work. Thank you again, your help is greatly appreciated. Jessica

[@jenovaizquierdo]

Awesome tutorial man. I think maybe you have issues because the camera are in different perspective?

[@lakvfx]

awesome! keep it up ❤

[@CBaileyFilm]

Thank you! Will do!
