The Blender Velvets are finally updated for Blender version 2.74. Velvet Revolver and Blue Velvet were also tested using FFmpeg and Ardour latest versions – 2.7.1 and 4.1.0, respectivelly. This is just a compatibility update, because Blender has just released their 2.75 version, so I’ll update the Velvets right away for it.
Blender 2.74 is out and, as usual, with many cool new features which you can check here. As for the Sequencer (VSE), the improvements are: “Slip tool, Setting proxies improved; preview individual strips (feature back from Blender 2.4x)”. This, of course, brings us to the fundamental question: when will the Blender Velvets be updated? Hopefully, …
Velvet Goldmine and Velvet Shortcuts are now ready for Blender versions 2.73 and 2.73a. Changelog Bugfixes “Markers – Delete Closest” now recognizes markers that have been moved in the timeline (for example, when “View > Sync Markers” is turned on) and/or that had their names changed. This bug goes all the way back from the …
Velvet Revolver tested OK for Blender 2.73a with FFmpeg 2.5.3. This is a routine check and there are no changes from previous version of the addon. Addon update is not necessary.
Blue Velvet tested OK for Blender version 2.73a with Ardour 3.5.403 and FFmpeg 2.5.3. There’s also an improvement on the way the addon reads the strips on the timeline – if user would have changed the strip’s name to anything that didn’t have an extension (such as “my_audio” instead of audio.wav or audio_repeated.002), the script …

Order of the sections on the panel has also changed for …
Major update on Velvet Revolver: now you can have any combination of extensions you want for full_res and proxy files as long as they are recognized as video extensions by Blender.

Effect strips blending modes and other properties were not showing correctly on the viewer panel of the modified Space Sequencer. This update fixes this issue. This version of Space Sequencer is to be used with Blender 2.72, 2.72a or 2.72b, not with 2.73 yet. Update of Space Sequencer is recommended.
