Recent Releases
2.5.004 Dec 2023 22:47
major bugfix:
Known : Rendering sometimes silently stalls after X frames. #248. Some image formats may have (PCX, PSB). #602. MTS video files are sometimes not read correctly. #186. Changes: Use Python 3 rather than Python 2 (which is not maintained anymore). This will require very few changes to the Python code (mainly print statements), and most code can be easily adapted to be 2-3 compatible. #686. Use QtPy==1.11.2 rather than PySide. QtPy is an abstraction layer for PyQt5/PyQt4/PySide2/PySide (newer versions support PyQt6/PySide6). QtPy uses the Qt5 layout (where the QtGui module has been split into QtGui and QtWidgets). Using QtPy guarantees a higher level of forward-compatibility with future versions of Natron, which may use Qt5 or Qt6. PySide can still be imported explicitly, if required, but the resulting code will not be forward-compatible. #687.

2.3.16-beta326 Mar 2021 03:16
minor feature:
2.3.15 Linux binaries available before 2020-06-14 were missing JP2 (JPEG2000) support. This was in binaries labeled 2.3.15.1 or in 2.3.15 binaries available from 2020-06-14.

2.3.1015 Apr 2018 07:25
minor feature:
Add "Overwrite" checkbox to writers to avoid re-rendering the whole sequence #1683.
Writers do not render the whole RoD on their input anymore (this may result in a huge speed improvement on some projects).
where effects could be marked as pass-through if their RoD was larger than the project format #1578.
Add python method setCanAutoFoldDimensions(enable) to Double2DParam and Double3DParam.
several plugins when included in a PyPlug: ColorSuppress, HSVTool, ImageStatistics, Ramp, Shuffle, Reformat #1749.
Matrix3x3 and Matrix5x5 GUI (y was reversed).
2.3.412 Dec 2017 16:05
minor feature:
Binaries distributed through Natron's web site are now built with 8-bit x264. 10-bit x264 (introduced with 2.2.6) causes too many compatibility. There are other codecs that support 10-bit output (especially ProRes, vc2, libopenjpeg, libvpx-vp9, and x265 on some systems). In order to get 10-bit x264, it is recommended to encode a quasi-lossless using one of these codecs, and then transcode with a ffmpeg binary capable of encoding 10-bit x264.
Work around a possible Qt/Linux where tablet events have a negative pressure on Wacom Intuos tablet #1697.
Binaries: add 10-bit HEVC encoding, Cisco openh264 encoding, VidVox Hap encoding.
Upgrade SeExpr to version 2.11.
Grade: add a "Normalize" button to automatically compute the clack and white points.
Matrix3x3, Matrix5x5: new plugins, apply a 3x3 or 5x5 custom filter.
ColorCorrect: wrong render for input values outside the 0-1 range #1703.
ReadOIIO: Adjust Maximum Thr. (used when reading RAW camera files) should defaut to 0.0 #1705.
2.3.310 Nov 2017 10:45
minor feature:
computation of remaining time when rendering.
loading third-party plugins on Linux #1682.
ColorLookup: add "Master Curve Mode" parameter, which enable selecting different algorithms to apply the tone curve with more or less color shifting. These curve modes are inspired by RawTherapee. Also add the possibility to compute and display the RGB histogram of the source input.
WriteFFmpeg: support 10-bit DNxHR 444 and DNxHR HQX.
Shadertoy: rework many presets so that they work better with Natron, especially the effects in the Blur, Effect, and Source categories. Most blur effects can also be modulated per-pixel using the "Modulate" input to get Z-dependent blur.
Shadertoy: new presets: Blur/Bokeh Disc, Blur/Mipmap Blur, Effect/Anaglyphic, Effect/Bloom Paint, Effect/Sawnbringer 4bit, Effect/Sharpen, Effect/CRT, Effect/Fisheye, Effect/Image Cel Shade, Effect/Kaleidoscope, Effect/Noisy Mirror, Effect/Quad Mirror, Effect/Q*Bert-ify, Effect/Stripes, Effect/Vignette, Source/Cloud, Source/Cloudy Sky, Source/Disks, Source/Fireball, Source/Flash, Source/Seascape, Source/Star Nest, Source/Voronoi.
Shadertoy: add iChannelOffset extension.
LensDistortion: add cropToFormat parameter, to avoid computing areas outside of the project frame.
2.3.214 Aug 2017 06:45
minor feature:
Merge:, where the alpha from the B input would be used for all consecutive merge operations, rather than updated at each operation.
2.3.127 Jul 2017 03:16
minor feature:
Python: the setTable() function of the PathParam class.
Windows: a where most image formats would not read and write correctly.
2.3.005 Jul 2017 07:05
minor feature:
Lots of when loading older Natron project files.
Internal changes: implement a new OpenFX multiplane suite.
2.2.929 Jun 2017 07:05
minor feature:
a where the channel selector would be wrong when loading older projects (e.g. Spaceship).
SpriteSheet: convert a sprite sheet to an animation.
2.2.803 Jun 2017 20:45
minor feature:
OpenGL interact is now always affected by transforms even if there is motion blur.
Radial, Rectangle and generators: when the Extent is set to Size, and Reformat is not checked, Bottom Left and Size can be animated.
add Box filter to Transform, CornerPin, GodRays, and all Distortion nodes.
ContactSheet, LayerContactSheet: Make a contact sheet from several inputs, frames or layers (beta).
2.2.716 Apr 2017 03:16
minor feature:
Reduce noise on the roto shape borders #1594.
ReadOIIO: when reading EXRs with datawindow different from displaywindow.
(beta feature) Inpaint: New plugin. Inpaint the areas indicated by the Mask input using patch-based inpainting. Please read the plugin documentation.
2.2.627 Mar 2017 06:25
minor feature:
Multi-dimensional parameters don't automatically fold into a single dimension, except for scale and size params.
Binaries distributed through Natron's web site are now built with 10-bit x264 and 10/12-bit libvpx-vp9 support. That means the produced video files may be unplayable on some hardware (e.g. phones or TVs), but Natron should really be used to produce digital intermediates with the highest possible fidelity, which can then be transcoded to more suitable distribution codecs.
Better cache usage for Readers, ReadOIIO does not use the OIIO cache anymore.
a where custom OpenFX plugins directories would be ignored #1584.
Add a documentation chapter on importing camera data from PanoTools-based software (PTGui, PTAssembler, Hugin).
WriteFFmpeg: the preferred pixel coding and bit depth can now be selected, which is very useful for codecs that propose multiple pixel formats (e.g. ffv1, ffvhuff, huffyuv, jpeg2000, mjpeg, mpeg2video, vc2, libopenjpeg, png, qtrle, targa, tiff, libschroedinger, libtheora, libvpx, libvpx-vp9, libx264, libx265).
ColorCorrect: changed the Contrast formula to make adjustments more intuitive, see https://compositormathematic.wordpress.com/2013/07/06/gamma-contrast/ - this may affect existing projects that used the previously gy Contrast parameter.
LensDistortion: add PanoTools/PTGui/PTAssembler/Hugin model.
Card3D can now import/export chan files from Natron, Nuke, 3D-Equalizer, Maya, etc., and txt files from Boujou.
Card3D and CornerPin: only show things that are in front of the camera. In cornerPin, point 1 is considered to be in front.
LensDistortion: add PanoTools/PTGui/PTAssembler/Hugin model.
Noise, Plasma: result is now reproductible (a given render always gives the same result).
ReadOIIO: add advanced options for reading RAW files.
STMap: Use the format of the Source input rather than its RoD to determine the texture size.
2.2.517 Feb 2017 03:25
minor feature:
undo when manipulating 2D points in the viewer interact #1576
.
manipulating the interact plugin on non-retiming inputs of retiming effects (e.g. the Retime Map in Slitscan) #1577
.
exporting curves to ascii (eg ColorLookup), and values for xstart, xincr and xend can now be simple expressions.
DenoiseSharpen: the output is now the noisy source when Noise Analysis is not locked. It is easier to see where there is noise that way, and it also makes the plugin usable in Resolve (which calls render even if non-significant parameters are changed).
Generators now may set the output format when Extent=Size (as they do when Extent=Format or Extent=Project).
Rework many plugins so that they work better in DaVinci Resolve (all generators including Radial and Rectangle, CopyRectangle, DenoiseSharpen, LensDistortion, HSVTool, ImageStatistics, Position).
Card3D (beta): Transform and image as if it were projected on a 3D card.
2.2.406 Feb 2017 22:25
minor feature:
Write: remove Python page, add Info page.
ReadFFmpeg: "Image Info..." button (which calls ffprobe) when file path is relative to a project variable.
high-resolution application icons.
Readers and writers now only get the colorspace from the filename if it is before the extension and preceded by a delimiter.
BilateralGuided:
Natron can now use plugins compiled with the DaVinci Resolve OpenFX SDK (which assumes that the host is Resolve), such as the Paul Dore plugins (see https://github.com/baldavenger/).
2.2.301 Feb 2017 08:25
minor feature:
Add proper quality options to WriteFFmpeg, including CRF-based encoding for libx264.
The online documentation for Read and Write now show the documentation of the underlying plugin.

1.2.015 Feb 2015 12:45
major feature:
Overlays on the viewer are now transformed by all Transform effects such

entirely from the Preferences.
Wacom tablets support is now much more intuitive and in-line with what
other softwares do and it has support for all widgets that can be zoomed
or paned.
New ImageStatistics CheckerBoard nodes.
In the meantime we re currently doing a maintenance on our snapshots
build-servers to plug all the Python 3 development we ve been doing. Once
the servers are be back online, you should be able to test entirely all
new features, including:
Groups, Script Editor, Expressions, Custom User Parameters, Group Python
plug-ins (same as Gizmos in Nuke, but written in human codable Python).
Lastly, we re also adding support to google-breakpad (the crash reporter
of Mozilla Firefox), so that crash reports can be sent more easily to the
developer team, including (and especially) on Windows.
