I am trying to learnt he program, but with little easy to find documentation or videos (Particularly in English ) it is proving difficult. I am having problems trying to export video. WHen it exports, does the video have sound with it? So far, it doesn't seem to but I don't know if it's just me not knowing what I'm doing or not.

Thanks in advance.

There is no audio support in Natron at the moment. If you assemble the shot in a NLE before any composites, you have export the frames wanted and then link back to the original clip with the audio.

I see. Good to know, to start with. So I would want to edit the clips down in another program, import to Natron, render, bring them back to the other program to add audio. Long involved process!

Thanks for the reply!

It may seem like a long process but what can streamline the process is created a workflow on the current limitations. Most highend compositors uses 3rd party audio playback engines anyway. It wasn't until Nuke Studio that you would have true timeline audio playback.

If you know someone who has high level Python coding skills, maybe they can program a driver that can sync to DAW audio timeline. One app that comes to mind is Reaper Audio at www.reaper.fr. Reaper runs on all three platforms.

Reaper is a awesome DAW, but sadly they don't have a Linux version.

You are right. I was thinking of Bitwig.

This is your season

And Nuke Studio is nothing more than Hiero(player) integrated into Nuke.

Before that you could edit your clips in Hiero(player) and then easily
export/import the finished sequence to Nuke without rendering etc,
probably through some kind of Python wrapper or something.

That could be possible(?) with Natron v2 and an NLE that supports Python.

Ole-Andre,

This is what I read on reaper's download for PC. It says "Windows versions also support Wine/Wine64". I am not very knowledgeable on Linux, but isn't Wine a Linux API?

Hi guys,

Wine is indeed an API or package on Linux that lets you run Windows software on Linux. So I suppose what they mean is that Reaper will run ok through Wine.

Some applications will run under Wine without problems while others won't. On the wine website winehq.org there is a database "AppDB" that shows how well some applications work. According to that info, Reaper version 4 seems to be working well.

Johan

Jack support would be the easiest and most universal way. All you have to do is sync the scrubber to jack's timecode, and any jack-compatible media players would be usable for screening audio. Something similar works for pairing Ardour with Blender, which keeps both of their timecodes synced.
