Hi guys! In the first Open Beta versions of Mistika Boutique the VR Presets are not being installed. If you have Mistika VR installed you can load them from the same folder, if not, please download the attached file. It is not necessary to copy the folder at any specific location. To load a preset you can just drag and drop the file into the Timeline. This will load a VR Stitch effect that you can place on top of your camera stack. If you want to build your own stitch or learn more about how to manage your stitchs directly in Mistika Boutique, take a look to this masterclass: Enjoy Mistika! Cam…

A few days ago I spent some time in the hotkey editor of Mistika (accessible via the login screen) and discovered a myriad of interesting keyboard shortcuts, some of them quite useful. I started compiling some of the key ones for my own reference in a Google Sheet. Just a fraction of it, but gives you a flavor. Today I was looking to see if there's a better way to scroll up/down in the parameter tab on the left in the Visual Editor. I know you can scroll with 'right click - scroll'. That works great with a mouse or the pen. But doesn't work on the Wacom in touch mode so well. So I was looking for any keyboard short cuts to scroll the parameters up/down, an…

Hi guys, In the previous webinar session, we talked about some custom Fx that I prepared for skin selection and another one for beauty pass. I've combined both in a third one that isolates the skin and applies the Beauty Pass in some automatic way (although you can control the value from the Color Grade included in the stack, I've renamed to make it clear). Keep in mind that the skin selector is created for SDR images, so depending on the project can be more or less useful. I think what is really interesting is the fact you can play with these effects, change parameters and see how they work in order to understand a bit better the capabilities of Mistika. The…

Hi guys, We have finally finished the mapping for Tangent Wave 2. The reason why it took some time is because we have dramatically improved the organization of the functionalities in Mistika to allow the remapping using the Tangent Mapper app. This is not yet integrated into the current builds, because we still need to organize the Stereo3D FX and add more functionalities in our library to offer you more flexibility when remapping the panels. Everything related to Colour, Memories, Color Histories, Shapes, Keyers, Framing, etc is now much better organize for remapping the panels. We will include this as soon as we finished what we consider the basic library of …

Hi everyone, good afternoon. I recently purchased an Obsidian Pro and shot some night-time plates for a series using the KDraw RAW format. I tried importing the RAW videos directly into Mistika Boutique but had no success. So I converted them to DNG using the Obsidian tool, but Mistika doesn't seem to import those either. My question is: Is there a way to import KDraw video files directly into Mistika Boutique? And if not, what's the correct method to import the DNG raw image sequence from the Obsidian into Mistika? Any tips or workflow suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am messing around with Mistika Boutique but I can't see some settings in the interface at all because I cannot resize the GUI in any way. I'd have to collapse multiple options so that the option I want comes on top and even if it does, I still can't see all the choices in there. This is really frustrating What is the way to fix this? Thanks

Hi all, A new maintenance version of Mistika Boutique is now available adding a new fix related to EXRs. You can already find this version in the 'Downloads' section of your Online SGO Account. Fix: Solved an issue related to the EXRs in Mistika. They are now functioning correctly.

They seem to do the same thing, and the tutorials don't explain the difference or when to use one or the other. Is there some documentation of the distinction? How do horizontal balance and vertical balance play into this? Is there a simple order of which of these adjustments to do first and how to set them?
