Multi-task: Natron can render multiple graphs at the same time and make use of 100% of the compute power of your CPU.(i.e: the render pipeline can be computed at lower res to speed-up rendering). Performances: Never wait for anything to be rendered, in Natron anything you do produces real-time feedback thanks to its optimized multi-threaded rendering pipeline and its support for proxy rendering.It is possible to separate on any number of screens the graphical user interface. Intuitive user interface: Natron aims not to break habits by providing an intuitive and familiar user interface.
