Is there a plugin or an automated way to add a whole directory of videos and have a cross fade added between each of them in Blender?

  • I am not aware of one. But I have needed an excuse to make a script for a while.. let me see how hard this is going to be! – doomslug Mar 07 '15 at 17:09
  • I can do it! Are there any specific options you need? – doomslug Mar 08 '15 at 03:10
  • @Zachman it would be good if the timings could be edited. Of course anything you can do would be appreciated. – Reed G. Law Mar 08 '15 at 03:41
  • Okay! Also, how would you like it to order the files. In the order they are in the folder, or by alphabetical/number. – doomslug Mar 08 '15 at 03:56
  • Could they be imported through Blender's native file-opening dialog? That supports sorting by name, extension, date, or size. – Reed G. Law Mar 08 '15 at 06:12
  • There is a slideshow plugin here which may help you get started. It does almost what I need but with multiple cameras in one scene, not with a directory of videos. – Reed G. Law Mar 08 '15 at 06:26
  • I have the basic functionality down, I just need to make a UI Panel and allow the user to choose the directory! – doomslug Mar 10 '15 at 02:35
  • Thank you so much! When you're finished be sure to answer this with a link to the script so I can mark yours correct. – Reed G. Law Mar 10 '15 at 02:49
  • No problem! It has been fun! Where would you like the panel to go? – doomslug Mar 10 '15 at 02:52
  • I don't know what it's called, but I think the panel on the left with vertical tabs will do. It could be added as an additional tab. – Reed G. Law Mar 10 '15 at 02:55
  • The Toolshelf it is! – doomslug Mar 10 '15 at 02:59

    So I have most everything done. I still have a few options to add, and it only works with .mov and .mp4 files so far. I also still have to add the sorting ability.

    Here it is for testing: https://github.com/MrSprite/VSEC

  • Consider marking the Script down below as answered as it seems to do so. – Samoth Mar 25 '16 at 22:17

I have finished the script. The script can be found on GitHub here: https://github.com/MrSprite/VSEC

I have not added sorting by file size or date yet, but all other features should be there! Let me know if it works!
