NatronRenderer: A command line tool for execution of project files and python scripts.

Network rendering: Natron can be used as a command-line tool and can be integrated on a render farm manager such as Afanasy.

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.
