Overview
========

This template streamlines the workflow for editing video, image, and audio sources together in a single timeline.
Each piece of media is represented as its own strip in the Sequencer, where clips can be arranged, trimmed,
and combined with effects to produce a polished final video.

Features
========

- **File Browser:**
  Preconfigured to display only relevant file types, making it easier to locate and import video, image,
  and audio files.

- **Preview:**
  The Preview area provides an interactive viewer where you can select, transform, and preview strips
  directly in the video output.

- **Sequencer:**
  The Sequencer is where you assemble and edit video, image, and sound strips.

- **Properties Editor:**
  Simplified to display only essential tabs: *Render*, *Output*, *Scene*, and *Strip Modifiers*.

Default Settings
================

- The **Edit** scene has a default duration of **10 seconds**, providing a starting point for new projects.
- The **Edit** scene is set as both the current scene and the active Sequencer scene.
- Resolution defaults to **1920 × 1080 HD** at **24 FPS**, suitable for most video work.
