HD Video Editing with Blender

Posthis writes "While the VSE sequence module has been part of Blender for a while, the upcoming version v2.46 comes with some new powerful video editing features, like Proxy editing, optimized FFmpeg support, and more. Not many use Blender strictly as a video editor because it's not very straight-forward, but given the fact that it now deals with HDV and 24p footage much more comfortably compared to other OSS video editors, it makes it a sound contender. This new tutorial shows the basics of how to use it as a video editor and put your masterpiece together."

Re:With that UI..

I'm usually pretty quick to defend the Blender UI, I'm one of those people who understands how quick and powerful it really is, but this time I have to agree.

Any tutorial on video editing in Blender should be akin to a tutorial on cleaning teeth which starts with:

First off, you'll need to remove all of your teeth so you can get a really good angle with the brush.

Otherwise, it's lying or incomplete.
