Blender 5.3 adds project settings and expands video editing tools

Published Tuesday, November 10, 2026 · 12:07 PM EST

Blender 5.3 adds projects that group related files, resources and settings, replacing the need to manage shared preferences and file organization separately for each production. Projects support their own asset libraries, color management configurations and custom variables. The release also adds video timeline editing that automatically moves clips as edits occur, plus initial OpenTimelineIO import and export support. EEVEE can now render panoramic cameras across several projection formats. Project-specific add-ons and extensions will follow in future versions. Panoramic rendering does not yet support depth of field, raytracing or volumetric temporal reprojection in the viewport.
