Blender VSE Pipeline

Overview

Automate video editing with Blender's Video Sequence Editor (VSE) using Python. Add and arrange strips (video, image, audio), create transitions, apply effects, assemble edits from file lists, and render final video — all headlessly from the terminal.

Instructions

1. Initialize the sequence editor

import bpy

scene = bpy.context.scene
if not scene.sequence_editor:
    scene.sequence_editor_create()
sequences = scene.sequence_editor.sequences
scene.frame_start = 1
scene.frame_end = 250
