Blender VSE Part-1: How To Edit Video

This tutorial is Part-1 of the Blender VSE (Video Sequence Editor) series. This video covers manually setting up Blender's interface, cutting a video file and rendering out a portion of the source video.

Virtual Dub Mod: Overview

This is a quick overview of Virtual Dub Mod and how I use it. Virtual Dub Mod is free, based on Virtual Dub and has a lot of uses. With the use of WINE I have been able to use it in Linux.

Video Editing

There are a few video editing tools that I use. The one I choose is the one that is most suited for the task at hand. The three main applications are Blender, Virtual Dub Mod, and Authoring Works 4.

Blender Offical Test Builds

Blender Test Builds are now featured on Blender.org and can be downloaded HERE.

GIMP 2.7.4 Wacom Support

GIMP 2.7.4 now has Wacom Support. I have been working towards replacing Photoshop so I can run Linux full time. But Photoshop is not easily replaced, but the the newest version of GIMP, which is 2.7.4 is getting better everyday and now the issue with no Wacom or tablet support has been fixed.

Linux Mint-12 Upgrade from Ubuntu

I have been quite happy with Ubuntu up untill 11.10 when they dropped Gnome for Unity leaving us without a choice. But I tried to get use to it but found it somewhat glitchy. Then I kept hearing talk about the Mint branch of Linux.
