Blender
A free and open-source 3D computer graphics toolkit, Blender, is used to make animated movies, visual
effects, artwork, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D apps, virtual reality, and, previously,
video games. The features of Blender include 3D modelling, UV mapping, texturing, digital drawing, raster
graphics editing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation,
sculpting, animation, match movement, rendering, motion graphics, video editing, and compositing. (Raster
images are typically made with paint software and consist of a field of pixels, each of which has a distinct
colour.)
Avidemux
Avidemux is free and open-source software for non-linear video editing and transcoding multimedia files. It
is designed to be “a simple tool for rudimentary video processing tasks” and enable users to “perform basic
things in a very uncomplicated way,” according to its creators.
Non-linear video editing, adding visual effects to video, and converting video into different formats are all
tasks that Avidemux can perform. Additionally, Avidemux has the ability to extract audio streams from video
files and multiplex audio streams into video files. The program’s project system, which makes use of the
SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine, is an essential and significant aspect of its architecture.
