  1. Sorry for asking on such a old post, but how do you try to synchronize the completed video with maybe a music you are trying to make with?

    I know Natron doesn't support audio, so I have another software that allows me to place in music track. But I just wish to know your advice/workflow on trying to create a video that kinds of synchronize with the music tempo or something like that….

    Like supposedly after 5 sec a video will pop in and another 2 sec later, it will dissolve away, popping another video in and so and so forth.

  2. Whenever I try to render I get this warning:

    "You are trying to render the frame range [1 – 250] but you did not specify any hash ('#') character(s) or printf-like format ('%d') for the padding. This will result in the same image being overwritten multiple times.Would you like to continue?"

    How to deal with it?

  3. Realy nice, I just discover this amazing software 10 mn ago. Very interresting in creative workflow with gnu license software.

    Just a small question does it possible to swap camera data from BLNDER > NATRON > BLENDER ?

  4. A useful tutorial, thank you for creating it! A minor thing I noticed is that you are zooming in and out all the time in the node pane, also dragging it around. This creates unrest that distracts from the point you are bringing across; it's a little bit like waving one's hands too much in a presentation I think.
