(Screenshot from Libre Arts article on the unfortunate decline for natron development. It’s still fully usable).
I’m bringing up natron because it’s the only free sfotware motion graphics dedicated program I can think up. Yeah blender exists, but it was designed for 3D modeling/animation first and foremost. But I digress.
Anyways, for those who don’t know, mlt very recently got a merge request for OpenFX plugin support, allowing for anything that uses mlt to utilize OpenFX plugins. That is HUGE for kdenlive, which is also on the roadmap as well and could easily expand substantually the possibilities of kdenlive. But that begs the question: is the line between natron and kdenlive fading? Obviously kdenlive is not designed to create new graphics from scratch nor is it a node editor, but how much difference is there anymore once OpenFX merges? What do you think?
