@Vincent Aziati Not exactly. Open source means the full source code is publicly available and licensed such that downloading, modification, and republishing of the source code or builds of the apps are unrestricted (given inclusion of proper license acknowledgements and often not charging for redistributions or variants)- inherently making it free. A dev can download the source code and build it themselves and have a free copy. And in lieu of free official builds, there's little stopping a dev from posting builds with or without their own modifications online. You initial description of open source would include things that have extensive plugin support but don't reveal the entire source code- such as Unity or Maya. Those tools are definitely *not* open source and are often a thorn in my side- Unity is notorious for having serious bugs that Unity Technologies is very slow to fix. I've spent weeks working around bugs in Unity that could've been fixed in a few hours if I had access to the source code and could just fix the bugs myself. Open source software does not have that problem- if you are stuck on a bug and have the skill to fix it yourself, you have nothing blocking you from getting your work done.
@@slippydouglas If somebody has no clue of compiling from source then for them it's not free at all. :D Ardour for example is open source but is not free.
I’m not sure, but I think that there’s a plugin named Gaffer for Blender, which serves the purpose of easy lighting and managing lights in a Blender scene. And then there’s also the Completely different software named Gaffer, which is not what is shown in the video.
Don't forget Unreal Engine 4 which makes the Quixel Suite free and connects to Unreal. It's a game engine but can be used for a lot of this. Someone made a shortfilm in Unity, also
there are people right now using 2015 maya and 3dsmax. Development is important and eventually, if natron doesn't get support, it'll be fazed out of existence, but right now it has the tools to be a considerable option.

Don’t use ms paint. It’s very tedious to use and also will create ugly artifacts because it doesn’t have anti aliasing and feathering. Also working with only one layer is very risky if you’re don’t have backups. Working in vfx job in TV shows I have some experience with keying. In my opinion Keylight plugin in After effects gives the best results. Make sure to light the green screen evenly. And keep the subject little bit away so no green reflections is created. Also try to flatten the shadow. And don’t use green screen for green object like trees or something use a red screen instead. Use a black screen for transparent objects.(black just go away if you put the layer on screen mode)
this video is just a brief overview with stolen footage ... i seriously doubt you tried all programs and compared their performance and ease of work , you still get a thumbs up, but only a small one
Fusion is not open source, by this logic any free and / or non-commercial version of VFX software, tool or plugin could be on your list. At least that list would make sense since ACES, Alembic, OPENVDB, USD are not even software nor tool or plugin.
Thank you for the Nuke non-commercial info, I've been meaning to have a go at their software for years now and even visited their website a few times only to be put off by the price. Somehow I totally missed this non-commercial version - such a great idea!
Nuke non-commercial has a lot of restrictions unfortunately at least on linux, haven't tried Flame, though the direction Autodesk is heading is quite mehh
@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 if you're referring to Nuke - I don't think anyone is expecting a fully fledged free version of Nuke or anything other than 'freeware' as you call it with the non-commercial version.

You don't want to edit videos in Blender, trust me. Use the free version of Davinci Resolve for video editing instead. It's much better for this task and it includes colour grading tools, too.
@@Marvin-dc9rz Blender now supports color grading tools. I think it really depends on what you need to edit and how complicated the edit is. I find that Blender has the fastest UI of any video editing software that I've used, but really it is not ideal for anything about 24 fps.

Fusion is not open-source software. You're mixing up free (as in freedom) software like Blender with freeware (software, where the user is granted a no-cost license to use the software, but the source code, patents, and full control over the software remains in the hands of it's proprietor).
Wtf is this your just describing various file formats for different data types and showing them running in paid applications, the only program in this that is open source and actively updated is Blender
Huh ? You prefer layers ? What if you have to modify a part : you take your shovel and dig the comp in a comp of a comp which is in another comp ? ;) Come on...

Amazing video!! What is the best software to remove the Green background?
Microsoft Paint
Don’t use ms paint. It’s very tedious to use and also will create ugly artifacts because it doesn’t have anti aliasing and feathering. Also working with only one layer is very risky if you’re don’t have backups. Working in vfx job in TV shows I have some experience with keying. In my opinion Keylight plugin in After effects gives the best results. Make sure to light the green screen evenly. And keep the subject little bit away so no green reflections is created. Also try to flatten the shadow. And don’t use green screen for green object like trees or something use a red screen instead.
