Blender 2.9 ...Is Released

Blender 2.9 is now out....but if you are like me, you probably haven't learned all the new features in the last Blender release.  

Blender is my favorite 3D Suite.  It does more than I use it for, but the Blender team keeps out doing themselves. If you are new to 3D or a seasoned pro, Blender is for you. Beside the fact that it is powerful, full featured 3D suite, it is also FREE and Open Source (FOSS)...yes I am a fanboy of Blender.

New Workstation Build for Digital Artists

Sorry for no post last week but I have been working on building a new workstation. I had an issue with the motherboard that was DOA but it was resolved. I tried to save some money on the board going with a less expensive model but ended up with a "cheaper" one instead. But with that behind me I am quite happy with this workstation. 8 Cores; 32 Gig of DDR3 1600 Mhz running at 4.15 ...COOL!

Bledner VSE - How To Adjust the Speed of a Video

  

This is part of my Blender Video Sequence Editor Series. In this tutorial I show how to change the speed of a video clip using Blender. I used a small video clip that is 640x480 px at 30 FPS running around 4 minutes in length.  By adding an effect I change the snowball fight into a high speed chase sequence ...or something like that.

Photoshop, CamStudio, Blender VSE Synch Issue

Recently I found an issue when I went to edit a video tutorial on Photoshop in Blender's VSE that I had created with CamStudio 2.6. The problem  arose when I rendered the video after editing in Blender VSE. The resulting video was sped up.  I am not sure why it happens but I was able to find a solution or work-around.
