Why we like it

Auto Montage Generator Pro earns its place in the superhive library for automating montage assembly directly inside Blender's Video Sequence Editor, from clip selection through effects and transitions.

What is Auto Montage Generator Pro?

Auto Montage Generator Pro is a Blender add-on that automatically generates montages from video, image, and audio clips selected in the sequence editor. The workflow runs in three steps: pick your clips, configure settings such as the number of clips, duration, and transition type, then click the Generate Auto Montage button to assemble the result.

The add-on can apply random effects to clips, including blur, brightness and contrast adjustments, color balance, and speed variations. Transitions include crossfade, gamma cross, and wipe, and you can adjust clip duration, the number of clips, the starting channel, and transition type and duration. The panel is accessible directly from the Video Sequence Editor sidebar.

Auto Montage Generator Pro runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and requires Blender 2.93 or later. It is distributed under the GPL license and includes the add-on, a comprehensive user guide, and free updates and support. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Auto Montage Generator Pro support?

Auto Montage Generator Pro lists support for Blender 2.93 and later, with the developer naming versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. That range spans older releases through the 4.x series, so most current Blender installations should be able to run the add-on. If you are on a version outside this list, check the developer's page before installing to confirm it works with your setup.

Does Auto Montage Generator Pro run on macOS and Linux?

Auto Montage Generator Pro is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, so it is not tied to a single operating system. It works inside Blender's Video Sequence Editor, where the panel is accessible from the sidebar. Beyond Blender 2.93 or later, no additional platform-specific requirements are stated, so if Blender itself runs on your machine, the add-on should be available to you. Check the developer's page for any setup notes specific to your platform.

How do I create a montage with Auto Montage Generator Pro?

Auto Montage Generator Pro works in three steps. First, select your video, image, and audio clips from the sequence editor. Next, configure the settings, including the number of clips, clip duration, transition type, and other preferences. Finally, click the Generate Auto Montage button to build the montage. The controls live in a panel in the Video Sequence Editor sidebar, and a comprehensive user guide is included to walk you through the process.

What effects and transitions does Auto Montage Generator Pro include?

Auto Montage Generator Pro can apply random effects to your clips, including blur, brightness and contrast adjustments, color balance, and speed variations. For joining clips together, it offers transitions such as crossfade, gamma cross, and wipe. You can also adjust clip duration, the number of clips, the starting channel, and the transition type and duration. These options are set in the sidebar panel before you generate the montage. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

Is Auto Montage Generator Pro free?

Auto Montage Generator Pro is listed as free in this catalog, and its license is noted as GPL. Pricing and licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The package is described as including the add-on itself, a comprehensive user guide, and free updates and support, which covers what you receive alongside the tool.
