How to IMPORT FOOTAGE to NATRON for VFX - The Read Node (03)

This is part (03) of the "Natron Beginner to Professional Compositor" tutorial series, in which I'll cover the topic Natron and how to use it. If you aren't familiar with it, Natron is an open source, free and powerful node based digital compositor for a VFX pipeline. You use it and its tools for all sorts of things related to the post production workflow, such as matte extraction, chroma- and green screen keying, lens and optical effects, multilayer EXR layer breakdowns, set extensions and so many more things. Visually it's very similar to the industry favorite Nuke.
Today we'll have a look at the basics of Natron, in this video we will look at the READ NODE and the various ways you import the source footage you're going to work with in your composite.
The next parts in this video series will be out shortly, currently editing more, so please stay tuned. 🌟
