Natron Compositor

[KurtF]

There's a new, free open source Compositor available: Natron. It's a nodal compositor that looks EXACTLY like a Nuke clone. (Hope they don't get sued!)

 

Anyway, it's a very young product, so not too many tools or nodes available just yet. They say it can load up OpenFX Plug-ins so we'll see if some Open source plug-ins are workable. Supposedly the commercial OpenFX plug-ins such as Saphire can also be used, although those are expensive. They recently added a Tracker, but more development might be needed in how it is implemented.

 

Worth a look, especially for hobbyists and small shops that can't afford an expensive compositing application, especially if you dig nodes vs. layers.

Thanks for the heads up. It's good to see they still support OS X Snow Leopard since that's the OS on my work station  ;)

Will try it out soon.
