Carlosan Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 website: http://natron.inria.fr Hello, Natron is 100% OpenFX v1.3 compatible , you can see a non exhaustive list of most of existing plug-ins here . This means most compositing tools such as Sapphire from Genarts or Furnace by the Foundry work totally in Natron. You're not a commercial plug-ins fan ? Fine ! Many open-source OpenFX plug-ins exist, notably the major suite TuttleOFX.Also Natron uses many other open-sources projects in order to provide the end-user some flexibility: OpenColorIO for colour management and OpenImageIO for image reading/writing.Best, Alexandre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor ajz3d Posted August 2, 2014 Contributor Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Does Natron have some documentation available? Nodes are very intuitive to use, but some solid user's manual is always welcome when learning new software.

Carlosan Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Natron GUI is Nuke clone any Nuke tutorial can help, i suppose. Hope it help: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted August 2, 2014 Contributor Share Posted August 2, 2014 Ah, I didn't know this. I've never had any contact with Nuke. Only with Composite/Toxik and After Effects. Thanks for the info, Carlos. I'll watch some of those tuts and read some docs on Nuke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Nossgrr Posted October 1, 2015 Advanced Member Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) How does Natron compare to Blender's Compositor? Stability, features, tracking..etc I have used both Blender and After Effects in the past for comps but never used Natron. Looks good though Edited October 1, 2015 by Nossgrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted November 2, 2015 Advanced Member Share Posted November 2, 2015 http://natron.fr/ Natron is a free open-source, cross-platform compositing software. It offers robust and efficient tools for compositors to get their job done fast with high quality results. 32 bits floating point linear color processing pipeline. Colorspace management handled by the famous open-source OpenColorIO library. Dozens of file formats supported: EXR, DPX,TIFF, PSD, SVG, Raw, JPG, PNG…thanks to OpenImageIO. and FFmpeg. Support for many free and open-source OpenFX plugins: OpenFX-IO : to read anything else than standard 8-bits images (bundled with pre-compiled versions of Natron). OpenFX-Misc : A set of basic nodes, such as Transform, chroma keyer, etc… (bundled with the pre-compiled versions of Natron). OpenFX-Arena : A set of extra nodes (bundled with the pre-compiled versions of Natron). OpenFX-OpenCV : A set of plugins based on OpenCV. OpenFX-Yadif deinterlacer : An open-source efficient de-interlacer. OpenFX-Vegas SDK samples OpenFX samples (in the Support and Examples directories) Support for commercial OpenFX plugins: (these are proprietary software and not free) RevisionFX products Furnace by The Foundry KeyLight by The Foundry GenArts Sapphire Other GenArts products And many more. OpenFX v1.4 supported Intuitive user interface: Natron aims not to break habits by providing an intuitive and familiar user interface. It is possible to separate on any number of screens the graphical user interface. It supports Retina screens on MacOSX. Performances: Never wait for anything to be rendered, in Natron anything you do produces real-time feedback thanks to its optimised multi-threaded rendering pipeline and its support for proxy rendering (i.e: the render pipeline can be computed at lower res to speed-up rendering). Multi-task: Natron can render multiple graphs at the same time and make use of 100% of the compute power of your CPU. Network rendering: Natron can be used as a command-line tool and can be integrated on a render farm manager such as Afanasy. NatronRenderer: A command line tool for execution of project files and python scripts. The command line version is executable from ssh on a computer without any display. Recover easily from bugs: An auto-save system detects inactivity and saves your work for yourself. Also Natron provides the option to render a graph in a separate process, meaning that any crash in the main application would not crash the ongoing render (and the other way around). Fast & interactive Viewer – Smooth & accurate zooming/panning even for very large image sizes (tested on 27k x 30k images). Real-time playback: Natron offers a real-time playback with thanks to its RAM/Disk cache technology. Once a frame is rendered, it can be reproduced instantly afterwards, even for large image sizes. Low hardware requirements: All you need is an x86 64 bits or 32 bits processor, at least 3 GB of RAM and a graphic card that supports OpenGL 2.0 or OpenGL 1.5 with some extensions. Motion editing: Natron offers a simple and efficient way to deal with keyframes with a very accurate and intuitive curve editor. You can set expressions on animation curves to create easy and believable motion for objects. Natron also incorporates a fully featured dope-sheet to quickly edit clips and keyframes in time-space. Multi-view workflow: Natron saves time by keeping all the views in the same stream. You can separate the views at any time with the OneView node. Rotoscoping/Rotopainting: Edit your masks and animate them to work with complex shots Tracker node: A point tracker is embedded in Natron to track multiple points. Version 2.1 of Natron will incorporate the Tracker from Blender. Presets: Nodes presets can be imported/exported easily with an XML file format Python scripting: Natron has made available via its Python API most of its functionnalities.Natron embeds a Python 2.7 interpreter that can be used to customize thoroughly the application. Read the documentation at natron.rtfd.org. Multi-plane: In Natron all layers read from EXR’s or TIFF’s are available as planes that each node can access. You can also freely create your own custom planes. This allows for cleaner graphs and more efficient work.Roadmap & features for future versions: Optical Flow nodes: VectorGenerator, Motion Blur, Retimer, RollingShutter Natural matting: Extract a foreground of an image without necessarily a green/blue-screen background. Deep data: Support for deep data (multiple samples per pixel) 3D workspace: The 3D workspace will first be in fact only 2.5D: That is support for Cards onto which are projected textures. Then it will also support 3D projection of textures through a camera as well as UV editing for 3D match-moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Version 2.1.2 Viewer: A new button can now force full-frame rendering instead of the visible portion. This may be useful to remove borders artifacts when panning/zooming during playback Fix a bug where the Glow node would not work correctly Windows: Fix a bug where the 32-bit version would crash on launch with AMD Graphic Cards Fix a bug where the Read node would sometimes show an error dialog but everything was in fact fine Fix a bug where changing the output filename in a Write node would reset encoder specific parameters Tracker: when clicking "Set Input RoD" in the From points of the corner pin, automatically re-compute the To points over all keyframes Tracker: A bug was found in the internal algorithm when tracking with a rotation/affine model. This was fixed in co-operation with Blender developers Fix a bug where the .lock file of a project would not go away even if closing Natron correctly Fix a bug where expressions would not work in some circumstances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Version 2.1.4 Windows: Fix a bug where the UI would freeze for a long time when reading files over a network share Python: Add ExprUtils class that adds helpers for FBM and Perlin noise (taken from Walt Disney Animation SeExpr library) Tracker: fix add/remove jitter motion types Fix creation of SeNoise node Fix a bug where the data-window would not be read correctly with auto-crop EXR image sequences Fix a bug where the group expand/fold feature would not work correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Natron 2.2 OpenGL rendering is enabled by default for interactive editing in plugins that support it (but still disabled for background rendering) Roto & RotoPaint: ellipses and circles are more accurate #1524 When a plugin is not available with the right major version, use the smallest major version above for better compatibility (before that change, the highest major version was returned) Natron can now be launched in 32-bits mode on macOS Documentation is now licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, and external contributions are welcome Organize nodes documentation New project formats: HD_720, UHD_4K, 2K_DCP, 4K_DCP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
