Blender? Really? Huh, I've been looking for a program to do some simple video editing. Would you happen to know of a good tutorial for the basics of non-linear video editing with Blender?
It takes some getting used to, but once you do it's pretty easy to use.
I have a project file I use as a template with the top right panel set as Video Sequence Editor "Image Preview", the top left for Graph Editor (for transitions curves and stuff), the bottom half of the screen for the Video Sequence Editor for moving around the tracks. Then I just use Add -> Movie/Sound/Image/Effect for all of the actual editing.
When I'm done I switch one of the panels to Properties where I have the render settings configured to use ffmpeg for MP4 output and hit Animate.
I've used Blender for video editing, but I had to pull up a fairly long Youtube video on how to set up my environment and choose settings in Blender's UI.
I've just pulled down a 2.80 release candidate with the UI overhaul to see if it's any better. It's actually pretty nice. I just selected the video editor option in the startup screen, and things sort of worked like I expect in a NLE.
