Hi Chris! Can you help me once again? I'm not getting much help on another end for a project I wanted to finish in Natron but instead had to revert back to after effects. If you think you can, or wouldn't mind, can I send you a couple pictures of my project and see if you can tell me where to plug in the next node for the effect I want?
Quick tip... to speed up your blender render, if all your materials are emit shaders for shadeless rendering, you can set the number of cycles to 1. Ths will speed up things no end.
Hey, cool that you found a way to do this for free. But good lord, as another Nuke compositor, I feel your pain. Natron will be a serious force to be reckoned with once they introduce a 3d system, so you don't have to jump into Blender. Such a simple thing in Nuke :p Is there a reason you guys aren't going Fusion over Natron? The free version is stupid powerful, and the commercial licences now are mind bogglingly cheap. Has a lot more polish to in comparison to Natron (not to mention advanced features like oflow, planar tracker, camera tracker and the 3d workspace itself. Nice video :)
Nuke has really spoiled me lol The software choice was my call, and the reason we didn't go Fusion is that I can't stand it's node graph. I used it on a short film a few years ago and it drove me crazy. The way Nuke and Natron lays out the node graph makes so much more sense to me. There's also the advantage of knowing the tools, the shortcuts and where everything is. Nuke to Natron has very little of a learning curve, while Nuke to Fusion would take a little more time to learn. Plus I think the camera tracker is only in the Studio version (although $300 is much better than $8k)
At home where I'm on Windows 10 and Ubuntu, it works great and I have very little issues. It's super solid for me. At work though on a 2012 Mac Pro (trashcan edition) it is a little unstable.
Cheers! Any idea on that merge issue I have near the end with the B alpha getting unchecked and screwing up the image? That's been ongoing with me since I started using Natron two years ago
@@IndieRebel I'm doing a video something like clubbed to death, I need help compositing and tracking the larger images into the regular footage which is usually going backwards. ruclips.net/video/WxY7O4eFHRk/видео.html can you watch the video and see if this looks doable to you?
It's great that Blender has a compositor, but as a Nuke artist, I find it not as efficient in some areas. The industry is Nuke based, and Natron really caters to that.
Yeah, that's what I figured. If you're looking for topics for future videos, maybe one highlighting the differences between the two and specifically pointing out where Blender is lacking might help get the Blender community and its developers on the ball at addressing them.
That's a good idea. It's really just different ways of thinking and working I guess. Just like Blender as a 3D app is so different than the rest, it's compositor is different than Nuke or Fusion. (Though I can't stand Fusion lol) I'll see about doing a video about that! Thanks!

nice to see Natron tutorials

Thanks for the tip Mike! I used our farm at work to do them, but I will try this on the next one
Just gave that a go and it works great. Much thanks!
Very nice man! Loved the tutorial!
Cool video! Definitely gonna check out Natron now.

Nice tutorial. Thanks for you help
How do you like Natron? I have mine always crashing, not updating the frame on timeline scrubbing and simply glitching while frame visualization.

very nice tutorial. thanks
Amazing tutorial, thanks!
very nice
great tutorial, thanks!

Where are you from do you do free lance vfx work?
I'm in North Idaho, USA. Yes, I'm available for freelance work, depending on what's needed

Any reason why compositing isn't done in Blender? Not as powerful as Natron?

I love Blender compositor but it is so awfully slow in comparison to Natron.
Yep. Reason number one right there :)
