Editing a "Let's Read" video in Blender

  1. Open Blender.
  2. Set your green cursor to the 0+00 frame.
  3. Go to Add→Movie. Image Modified
  4. You only need to worry about your set frames-per-second (in Blender) being wrong if the video and audio clips show up as different lengths.
  5. If you have multiple clips:
    1. Set the green cursor to the end of the first clip, then do "Add → Movie".
    2. The new clip and its audio should be automatically selected.
    3. Press "g" (Grab) and then "y" (restrict movement to the y axis) and drag it up to a higher sequence.
      • Note that you do not need to click and hold to drag the selected clip.  Just move the mouse up without clicking.
  6. Set the X and Y dimensions to 640x480. YouTube will adjust the video to look right with a wider screen.
  7. Set the number of frames to 500 and do test runs to make sure everything looks and sounds right.
  8. Determine the total number of frames through trial-and-error.
  9. I used the following Encoding (output) settings: (it took some trial-and-error to get something that looked and sounded right) Image Modified
    • Container: AVI
    • Codec: H.264
    • Output quality: Perceptually lossless
    • Encoding speed: Medium speed
  10. To render the video, go to Render → Animation. Image Added
