Quick and concise I love how your videos are clear, unlike other creators who spend minutes on intros and outros.

Well spoken and to the point. THank you dude theses videos are making my introduction to Blender video editing much easier. !!!

Your series has helped me immensely. I cannot tell you how many times I have referenced them while editing video

I love how blender is becoming an all in one media creation tool. But it boggles my mind how far they stray from a user friendly experience. To me Windows Movie Maker set the standard for easy to master video editors. Sure software like Premiere Pro is more in depth but still follows a similar work flow. I hope they simplify the video editor in a future update

God your videos are a lifesaver! I knew nothing about video editing but with your videos I was able to cobble together a more than half decent video presentation for my university class on HCI. Thank you so much!

[redfox]

Thank you sir. This and your other videos have helped me learn for school projects tremendously. Thank you!

[nico-sk]

Ay, thanks dude! Helped a lot.

Edit.: Just figured out that if you right click the video strip there is a "fade" option, and you can select "fade in and out" :')

Loved this video, I was wondering how to do transitions simple on blender and now IO do know how.

[icanthis]

your videos are useful but so soft := thank you!

[jamesriley]

thanks for this. An outdated version of blender, but still useful! It's weird that the Cross transition adds an entity to the sequencer window.

[topoftech]

Thanks, I wanted to learn how to do this.

I prefer using keyframes in the opacity of each strip.
1.000 means the full image of a video and 0 is like a blackscreen for me.
For a fade-out for example I go to the place where I want the fade to start and hit "I" when I hover over the opacity bar. It will add a keyframe and the bar turns green/ yellow.
Then I go to the end of the strip using the "Page up/ Page down" keys and change the opacity to 0 and hit "I" after I changed it. It's important to change the number first and hit the Keyframe key "I" afterwards!
