ZOOM transforms Blender’s Video Sequence Editor into a professional, tactile editing environment. Designed for any OSC-compatible tablet app, it replaces the mouse-and-keyboard workflow with real-time physical control — jog, transport buttons, sliders, and macros — just like a dedicated editing console.
This is not a traditional addon. It’s a complete editing system built over Blender’s engine.
-
OSC Control Surface Integration Full two-way communication with your tablet — buttons send commands, Blender sends visual feedback (tool, timecode, states).
-
Interactive Editing Tools SPLICE, INSERT, SLIP, SLIDE, GRAB, and FADE are not static actions — they respond dynamically to jog movement in real time.
-
Macro & Preset System Execute complex operations (like zoom, group, ripple, or fade) with a single gesture or button.
-
Multicam Support Switch between Scene stips and Camera strips on the fly.
-
Export Presets One-touch render targets for YouTube, Instagram, or custom resolutions.
-
Feedback Display Your control surface always shows the current tool, timeline position, and value feedback.
-
Preset System Abrand New preset system to infinite posivilities.
ZOOM bridges Blender’s technical flexibility with the speed and feel of professional NLEs making Blender’s VSE accessible, intuitive, and fast — without removing its depth.
