I’ve been through the same things when I was running a studio back in 2019 (long story short, covid f’ed us). We got tired of Nuke and switched to Natron and Fusion. We used Natron for tasks that needed only 2D stuff and Fusion when we needed 3D/projection tools. We used Natron because compers who were used to Nuke didn’t need to go through a big transition. I was going to hire developers for Natron and a Blender fork as soon as got the financial capability but with Covid happening I had to choose between that and other things to keep the studio alive (remote workflow and shit)… We went out of business regardless, three months into Covid.
I understand that going back and forth between Blender and Natron is counterproductive, and Blender is very ass backwards with regards to the workflow and UX. I was under the assumption that you needed this toolset urgently; since that’s not the case, we can put this to rest.
Also agreed that Natron needs this festureset. But as things stand currently there is very less that we can do. Development is still happening at a very slow pace. Small changes, bug fixes, backend compatibility, security fixes and stuff are being done now and then, and for now that’s enough… Until we get real developers working full time, no big features are going to happen…
