Libre Graphics World: Natron 0.92 released with new roto and keying nodes

Libre Graphics World has an interview with Alexandre Gauthier, the developer behind the open-source video compositor Natron, as well as an overview of the most recent release. Gauthier addresses the at times controversial decision to build an interface similar to that of proprietary applications that also support the OpenFX plugin standard: "when you implement an application which will be used by professionals who potentially have a lot of background in the usage of such software, you want to make sure you don't break all their habits, otherwise they won't bother. When you have an entire keyboard layout in mind and you need to switch to another, this is a lot of pain. When you have to spend afternoons just to find how to configure the same plug-in but on another application this can be very frustrating." Among other topics, the interview also delves into the complex history behind Natron and other OpenFX applications.
