Rotoscoping/Rotopainting: Edit your masks and animate them to work with complex shots using Bézier curves. You can separate the views at any time with the OneView node. Multi-view workflow: Natron saves time by keeping all the views in the same stream. Natron also incorporates a fully featured dope-sheet to quickly edit clips and keyframes in time-space. You can set expressions on animation curves to create easy and believable motion for objects. Motion editing: Natron offers a simple and efficient way to deal with keyframes with a very accurate and intuitive curve editor. Once a frame is rendered, it can be reproduced instantly afterwards, even for large image sizes. Real-time playback: Natron offers a real-time playback with thanks to its RAM/Disk cache technology. Fast & interactive Viewer – Smooth & accurate zooming/panning even for very large image sizes (tested on 27k x 30k images). Also Natron provides the option to render a graph in a separate process. Auto-save system detects inactivity and saves your work. Support for stereoscopic 3D and multi-view processing. The command line version is executable from ssh on a computer without any display. NatronRenderer: A command line tool for execution of project files and python scripts. Network rendering: Natron can be used as a command-line tool and can be integrated on a render farm manager such as Afanasy. Multi-task: Natron can render multiple graphs at the same time.
