[@occasionallyhuman]

Blender pending

[@Mioumi]

His intro is iconic to me

[@erdaldalkilinc]

@@occasionallyhuman blender is great for animation

[@occasionallyhuman]

@@erdaldalkilinc I have two of my animations on my channel if you want to check

[@erdaldalkilinc]

@@occasionallyhuman thx i am intersted in video editing and vfx blender kinda weak for video editing

[@dahlialove5270]

It's great that every piece of software that I look into and download, you have tutorials for! Thank you for your hard work and your videos!

[@itsmith32]

Thank you so much for your work! Watching carefully, learning new skills for video editing. Best wishes for you, man!

[@natywubet2175]

i think nodes in this senses are like functional programming paradigm and i love it

[@vijayart]

Thank you so much! I recently got this software and was clueless on how to use it, but your tutorials helped me! Earned a sub!

"When you first opened up Natron... you will see Nuke:)

yes man kinda right 😂

[@nishitchauhan7418]

Thank you for making this. Really helpful!

[@AbhishekSharma-lg3vb]

This channel is gold

[@playerthree38]

Thanks for the tutorial!! I've been looking for this kind of software

[@spacemarderdontaskme6452]

Many thanks for that nice Tutorial. I am just a beginner and I enjoyed this tutorial. Very nice explained and I am wondering, why this Natron is not known in germany. Once more: Many thanks and i will follow the next lessons......

[@TJFREE]

You're welcome! I appreciate the feedback.

[@gracechurchoakridge8452]

TJ thank you so much, long time after effects user but cant afford to buy the software. One thing that I am looking for is animating text. Are there ways in Natron to animate the actual typing or entrance of the text more than just simple transforms? Maybe another tutorial :)

[@JGuidus-Media]

No soy capaz de encontrar la forma de añadirle audio. Podrias ayudarme?

[@Maltebyte2]

Can you create short small basic movies / stories with this? so if i have the images and audio ready and i just wanted to add some cool effects to the images and stuff.

[@MyrzaAkhmad]

When I open text in natron it the programm swotches off.. what can I do..?

[@ihssancanmturk3842]

Sounds very complicated, helpful though. Thank you a lot!

[@swajju]

I need an alternative of after effect for motion tracking, is this software good to use?

[@harbinger.h]

We are learning about this software at school and everyone in my class including me hates it. Why does it look so difficult to deal with...

[@chriswagner5743]

hi im wondering if you can create a lut for obs using natron

[@alvarobyrne]

Hi! very nice channel. I dare to ask> can one do audio reactive animations/video in natron? can animations be synchronized programatically to audio, using for example, fft or audio volume/amplitude? is there a scripting language for natron? thanks in advance

[@brcisna]

Hi TJ, And thanks for the great Natron tutorials. I have went through each one of them multiple times to absorb everything. Question.: I have a finished video made with OpenShot. If I read this video into Natron and want to add various 'source' effects to this video, how do i make each node(Shadertoy) capable of adding it's effects at a certain time frame to this video? In other words do i need to add a node(along with maybe a merge node) to be able to do keyframes, to the video for Shadertoy,or is this simple not possible. Thanks.

[@TJFREE]

Hi Barry, great question. Its best to use Natron for individual scenes, and then combine those scenes using a video editor like Shotcut. One way to make effects happen at a certain time is to just right click on the 'Mix' option at the bottom of the effect, and select 'Set Key', 1 is on and 0 is off, so it can be used to toggle an effect/node being applied or not at a given point in time.

[@daemonjofficial]

Hey, love your Natron tutorials. Do you have one solving solving for Lens Barrel Distortion? I've seen some for Nuke, but the LensDistortion node is different in natron. Please help!

[@Alevamltd]

Can someone please help me, for some reason Natron won't let me save projects AT ALL.

[@sharded_dev]

So, it's like Davinci Resolve but Open-Source?

[@leadfootnick4x4]

Good video

[@SlaminYou]

Is Natron good for 20~ish minute videos? It seems to take a long time to render videos for me that are even just 30 seconds despite using a rtx 3070.

[@JayMisc]

i opened natron installer, didint show up (i have windows 10 & opengl 2.0 in my pc) tried the no installer zip file one, looked in the directory and found the app and works well

[@smv8102]

I have no idea why, but Natron mutes my input videos. So my exported video makes little sense to any viewer. Any way to solve it, I'm a n00b

[@sanketvaria9734]

this is just like nuke but free. this is cool. I like it.

[@devilsforkdigital1490]

It currently lacks the functionality of Nuke.

[@LiMCRiMZ]

This is such a life saver, BLESS your soul my dude 🤘

[@mohdshahrulnazreemohdshariff]

Hi TJ, i always had this problem, whenever i try to render to MP4, it's said can only write RGBA or RGB, i have double check that all my file sources is RGB. Please help, TQ

[@lordsj]

How did you deleted that checker boad? 🙃 Is that same like in gimp, inscape (ctrl+z)?

[@OmaChukEan]

Still confused on the use of Natron...Aint Graphics inclined..... But can Natron be used to make Video Tutorials and Video Ebooks?..

[@discoverdracosworld2830]

Cool video :-) one stupid question, do you create whole videos with natron or just edit each sequence and use something else to merge them later?

[@TJFREE]

Good question. Natron is great for advanced effects, but does pair well with a standard video editor like Kdenlive or Shotcut. I'll usually use Natron together with Kdenlive.

[@Juniormeloism]

Please can you help me?Why can not I edit the logo part? The node graph is blocked on top

How do you decrease the preview quality of the video

[@knowledgecollapse6802]

How much opengl is needed for natron. In my laptop, it's 1.1

[@mizovfx8075]

almost like nuke wowww

[@TJFREE]

Yes, very similar!

[@RiriToon]

Thanks

good! THX !

[@user-kx5es4kr4x]

What is the minimum and recommended system requirements for Natron? Im going to use this on a laptop that has 32GB ram. Does it require 64?

@@kosinsinsin actually I do some work with blender and studied a bit Davinci it is a decent software as a complentary i feel like Natron and nuke goes specific

[@zielonykamerzysta5100]

i cant remove this project

[@iberomagazine]

cool

[@RTSFan1337]

Can you use it for basic editing too? Or is it just for effects and stuff?

[@TJFREE]

If you mean for video editing, it is capable, but it would be easier to do standard video editing / transitions / splicing in something like kdenlive or openshot.

[@RTSFan1337]

TJ FREE hmm. Ok. I tried those two and they were way too unstable and clumsy to use :/

[@sqrtof81]

You should try Shotcut, for me it works very well :D

Natron is free and open source software.

Agreed. Linux is great.

It was never"bad" to begin with, less number of software , sure . But linux in itself was never bad as it has and will be the most secure os
