To add a new strip to the Sequence Editor programmatically, we need to know the channel number to place it. We can get the number of an empty channel in the Sequence Editor throug the Blender Python API by walking through the list of sequences already added to the Sequence Editor.

Viewport Purge Button – Blender 3D add-on that adds the “Purge” button to 3D Viewport area header for clearing the scene from unused objects (meshes, materials, etc).
It doesn’t need to assemble a large and complex shader node tree to make a parallax shader in Blender. The simplest parallax effect can be achieved by connecting just 3 nodes.
Most video formats don’t have a built-in transparency channel, so the black and white mask – a separate video file that determines how one video will be blended on another, can be used for blending such videos.
The Blender Python API can be very useful not only for working with meshes or nodes but also when editing video files in the Video Sequence Editor.

We can switch to the desired tab in the Properties window through the Blender Python API by changing the “context” value in the desired workspace area.

The “face_strength” parameter is used in the Weighted Normal modifier to calculate normals. We can set and change its values by calling a special operator, or directly getting and setting its values through the Blender Python API.

If it is necessary to exclude all nodes of a certain type from the shader calculation, they can be muted by their type. The muted node remains in the node tree, retaining all links, but doesn’t affect the final result.
