I was wanting something simple to take a sequence of images rendered from Workspace and or Model and create a video or gif that was compatible with Win 10
So far, I have only tested a 2040 sequence of images converted to a wmv and gif
Note: I have not installed any codecs prior to using Shotcut
Works great!


Shotcut is a free, open source, cross-platform video editor

Wide Format Support
Supports hundreds of audio and video formats and codecs thanks to FFmpeg. No import required which means native editing, plus multi-format timelines, resolutions and frame-rates within a project. Frame accurate seeking supported for many video formats.

How to Convert Images to Video (Free Software Shotcut)

Nothing fancy, quick, and dirty
Project Total approximate time: 15 mins Start to Finish

That shutcut looks pretty good on first sight. I have been learning DaVinchi, but this looks also good. I will take a look, thank you mate.
edit: i saw some tutorial, its nice, has good UI seems like. Very nice for a free video editor! A bit like VegasPro, which is very user friendly.
edit2: So i downloaded it. One thing that is awesome - when you import variable frame rate video, it asks to convert it, which is awesome for editing videos from phones. It has most of features you need. Lacks some few details like resizing tracks individually or directly editing audio volume. At least i dont know how to make audio quieter or louder in some spaces without spliting it every time.

Have you tried Filters?

He also has a video on how to lower the volume
Add -> Filters -> Gain

but you can control volume of the whole clip only, right? you cannot do it with curves to lower or rise volume within the clip.

I do not know, I have not tried yet
In one of his other videos, he used keyframes for zooming/size
Here is another tutorial

ya, maybe you can keyframe it... so its possible but less convenient.. But for a freeware its still awesome!

for those cases I use an external audio mixer !
Export the track via mp3 or wave... make your sound editing reimport the track under the original audio track !
Use the time coding for fade in and out time ! You can even stream out to a real mp3 recording device and use a real hardware audio
mixer to have real button control ! The benefit is you have much more control over the sound as such including
an equalizer ..so leveling it out on every hz frequenzy ! There are some good and free open source
options out there ! good place to go is looperman ! They not only have tons of free loops but also collections and links
to free open source audio apps !

Happy Birthday bitkar
Looks like Shotcut's Keyframes are curves
You can change the Keyframe from Linear to Smooth and or whatever Discreate is
