In their own words
Notch
Notch is a real-time 3D motion design tool for building graphics and interactive visual workflows. Its node graph connects elements in a project, and four NURA physically based GPU renderers can be switched without changing the scene, lighting or materials. Tools include compositing, cloners, video processing, physics, materials, particles, volumetrics, JavaScript scripting and networking controls. Notch supports camera tracking, LED-stage and greenscreen workflows, and live compositing. It connects to systems including Kinect, tracking SDKs, lidar and Windows Touch, and supports OSC, MIDI, ArtNet, NDI, Spout, streaming protocols, virtual webcam output and a Web/HTTP API. Notch requires Windows 10 or later on 64-bit x86 with a discrete GPU; its After Effects beta supports versions 22 through 26 on Windows. The free NotchLC plugin supports Adobe video applications on Windows and macOS. Pricing includes Indie at $279 a year for non-commercial use with 1080p export, plus a free 60-day trial.
