Blender Video Editing
Getting Started with VSE

If you're looking to edit videos using Blender, this Blender video editing tutorial will guide you through the basics of the Video Sequence Editor (VSE),
Blender’s built-in tool for non-linear video editing. Whether you're new to Blender or transitioning from another editor like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, VSE provides a powerful and free alternative.

The VSE allows you to cut, trim, arrange, and add effects to your video clips with precision. It supports a wide range of formats and includes essential editing features such as transitions, speed control, keyframe animation, and audio mixing. This tutorial is designed to help you understand how the VSE interface works and how to start building a complete video project right inside Blender.

To begin, you’ll learn how to import media, organize your tracks, and use tools like the razor, slip, and grab to manipulate your clips. You'll also see how to apply fade-ins, crossfades, and basic color correction. We’ll cover how to preview your project in real time, and how to render your final output efficiently using Blender’s rendering engine.

By the end of this Blender video editing tutorial, you’ll be able to create and edit videos with confidence, whether it’s for YouTube, a short film, or an animation demo reel. This is a great place to start if you want to learn everything from simple cuts to more complex timelines.
You’ll also explore how to manage multiple audio tracks, sync sound with video, and adjust volume levels directly in the timeline. The tutorial walks you through using markers for better project organization and introduces basic keyframing to animate effects. Even if you've never used Blender for editing before, this guide breaks down every step in a clear, beginner-friendly format.
