The TimeLine Controllers add-on for Blender 3D adds additional controller widgets to areas with a timeline, with which you can quickly and conveniently change the values of the start and end frame of the timeline.
In general, gizmos looks like arrows and circles on a 3D object with which we can move, rotate and scale the mesh. However, in Blender, the gizmo object is more versatile and can be used to suit our needs in different workspaces. For example, we can create a gizmo to adjust the start and end points of the timeline.
BIS (Blender Interplanety Storage) updated to v.1.11.1.
We can enable or disable a collection that contains a specific object using the Blender Python API with a simple script. For example, let’s turn off the collection in which the currently selected object is.
By default, there are 7 lines allocated for displaying channels with strips in the Blender user interface, in the Video Sequencer area. If all of them are not used in video editing, it will not be possible to hide unnecessary ones by simply scaling the area size.
However, this can be done by scaling the entire area interface.

We can quickly activate all collections in Blender on the current view layer – enable the “checkbox”, “eye” and “monitor” icons for all of them, using a simple script.
For different work directions in Blender, separate startup configurations are organized – sets of basic settings for scene parameters, rendering and user interface. Each configuration is stored in a separate file and is loaded from it when the user opens Blender or executes the “File – New” command from the main menu.
Workspaces in Blender are saved sets of work areas (windows of the desired type). Typically, switching between them is done by clicking on the tab with the name of the workspace at the top of the Blender UI. We can also switch between workspaces using the Blender Python API.
To mirror an object along X, Y or Z axis in Blender the “Miror” operator is usually used. For example, to mirror an object along the global X axis, in the 3D viewport window menu we need to select: Object – Miror – X Global. Or we can do it simpler just applying a scale of -1 to the object along the desired axis: s – x – -1. However, if there are custom normals on the object, they are not recalculated, which subsequently causes the appearance of various artifacts.
