The Blender Velvets series of addons has been created taking into consideration the needs of those who edit video, creating functions that didn’t exist or improving those that were already there.

What they may not know is that the free and open source tool to make them already exists. Many people and organizations know well that video is a powerful way of communicating. More than that, it’s an app that runs in any operational system without even having to be installed. Its functionalities are par with programs like Final Cut and Adobe Premiere. What is not so well known is that Blender is so well developed and open – not only because it’s free and open source software (FOSS), but because it’s accessible via API – that it could be adapted to complex editing of 2D videos. A lot of examples exist and, if you want to have a general idea, check the short movies made by Blender Foundation’s Open Projects and the Demo Reels of animations, series and commercials made with the program. With many years on the road and ever more mature, the number of studios that started using the tool as a basis for their productions has been increasing.

Blender is famous as a software for the creation of 3D animations.
