BACHADAM BLENDER VFX SETUP ADDON
A new Blender VFX Addon by Bachirou ADAM from BENIN.
I see more people asking or suggesting to blender developpers to disigne blender VFX work-flow as the same as other VFX TOOL such as After-effect, Davinci-resolve, Natron, etc. That is the problems.
BLENDER can be use like these tool but by default if you don't know all the keyshot it will require you to make more clicks or more changes everytime. Is where this addon come in :
BACHADAM VFX SETUP
With this addon you can use blender like these tool, even in better way, by combining it methode with blender way to work. I must insist in the fact that this addon is for VFX and COMPOSITING usage case only.

1-HOW IT WORK?
The work-flow of this addon is base on Sequencer Scene which will be the principale Scene. You can create more scenes before sequencer scene, you will not be allowed or you have not to create another SEQUENCER scene. If you do it the addon will consider this new scene with sequencer has the principal scene.
The image bellow show how i suggest you to setup the work-space for this addon. it will allow us to use blender like other software.
But in reality you are free to setup the work-space like you want there is no problem. if you want you can use blender default video editing work-space. The images bellow show an exemple of otherway to setup they work-space.
REMARQUE:
This is the only setup you have to do your selve. the rest of switching is do automaticly by need.
