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?

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.

Oh huh, maybe I'll just get that then, thanks!

The Mike Meyers[1] youtube tutorials are great. He will do 2.8 based tutorials soon. [1] https://www.youtube.com/user/MikeycalDOTcom/playlist

This seems very helpful, thanks!

As someone who uses Linux, I've found Blender + ffmpeg to be a powerful combo. Almost all of the videos on my channel use those two. The video sequence editor in Blender is awesome for arranging tracks, audio, transitions, overlays, text, etc. And with ffmpeg you can move it to any format you need. To clean up audio I use Audacity.

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.

A somewhat related story about why text posts on reddit are called "self posts" (copy-pasted from a thread from 5 years ago where someone asked why, linked near the top of the explanation): --- It's actually a bit of a long story, but it's kind of an interesting part of reddit's history. Some of my details are probably off, but this is how I understand it. A long, long time ago, reddit only supported submitting links…

Oh man, I remember trying (and succeeding) to do this with comments, back before you had a 30 second grace period before getting the asterisk. I wrote a comment that linked to itself. I later became "more" famous for inadvertently DDoSing reddit, and forgot all about it until someone replied to one of my comments saying "aren't you the asshole who brought down reddit as an April fool's joke?". "Huh? No! Oh, wait".

How?

I created the f7u12 subreddit, so I thought it would be funny if I put the "reddit is down" graphic over the subreddit front page with CSS.

It had millions of subscribers. They all kept refreshing.

Done more than once before, this one even has an explanation, which matches some of the guesses people already posted I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufq2Eb78kSU

Excellent, this explains it. The YouTube video you shared says the trick is to create a resumable upload using YouTube API. The steps involved : 1. create a resumable session (here we specify video length in bytes) 2. YouTube returns a session URI which contains the upload ID 3. create a video with the upload ID baked in (edit video to match length from step 1) 4. upload video to the session URI https://developers.go…

Okay, sure. But how did he get a hash with a Back to the Future reference?
