  1. 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 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…

    Where are the raw parameters? I'm not seeing them anywhere for my Redcode clips. Is there a way to move the scopes to another monitor? It's not letting me drag them off of the main editor window to my 2nd screen.

    Here are a few topics of things I do frequently and where I'm not 100% yet how to do in Mistika BT: 1) Use the base vector to key skin or some other element before any color correction, and then route that key to a later vector, possibly even combining two keys and adding a mask (similar to key mixer in Resolve tree). I've gotten it to work by enabling the extern key in the key tab and selecting the appropriate vector and alpha. But not sure I'm getting all the nuances and best practices. 2) Importing external EXR sequences from another roto software. I've been able to export the EXR and create the roto mask, but am not clear how to re-import the EXR files and u…

    Would it be possible to get a short tutorial / example on how to use Mocha Pro. I tried a remove yesterday, and while Mocha Pro did it's job, I couldn't get the results back into Mistika. I know it's supported, but I must be doing something wrong. I first tried it on some 4K footage, to remove a small tattoo on person's arm. It was only 15 frames. I added the footage and the Mocha effect, it loaded fine, did the remove, closed Mocha and selected 'Render=yes' and 'Module=remove' and the UI becomes very unresponsive. Monitoring system activity it's not clear if it's rendering in the background or not. Eventually I got some partial output on on some frames. Th…

  12. Since my current setup is getting annoyingly slow I am looking to buy or build a new machine around Mistika Boutique. The biggest issue I have is the fact that I love to work within MacOs and don't like the messy Windows interface. On the other hand I would have no problems building a Window machine because it save's me 50% of the total price compared to a new Mac Pro. My questions are: The MacPro Route - How will the support be for the new Mac Pro, since it is using a AMD GPU (Vega II with 32GB looks very promising) And wil the 'Afterburner' card be supported in the future? Since I got the feeling that Mistika is more Window's focused? The Wi…

  13. Hi everyone! We've created an environment for testing your system performance capabilities. Basically, it contains a 4 seconds video with 80 layers of color correction created. There, you can remove layers until real-time playback is obtained or sound synchronization is achieved. You guys can find the environment attached in this post. It is a 1920x1080 and 24 fps timeline. The video file which you have to relink can be found here. This is how the environment looks like: It would be great if you can share with us your results, describing your system specifications and the maximum playback you obtain. This way, we can share useful informat…

    I think I am totally blind, since I am sure there must be function somewhere in Mistika. ? But is there a easy way to save a screen-grab from the current active frame? (without going through the output settings) Or even better map this to a button on the Tangent Elements? Very often I have to email screen-grabs to the DoP or Director for approval, so it would be really nice if there was as blazing fast solution.

    I haven't been able to get my Tangent Wave 2 to work with Mistika Boutique... is there a config step that I might have missed? I followed the instructions in the document I found, launching the Tangent application and adding Mistika there. The app seems to be detecting Mistika, but the panel isn't connecting. It connects to Scratch without a hitch, so at least I know that the physical connections are good. Thans!

    I have quite a problematic bug which makes it hard to work with Mistika Boutique 8.10 System tested: iMac 2017 |8gb AMD 580 | MacOs 10.14.6 When I ty to edit a value on the left side of the interface, it is scaling the interface with a strobe affect.

  19. I am trying to figure out the best practice for transforming a TV Commercial graded for 709 broadcast to online specs sRGB 2.2 I end up with a different result if I compare the sRGB version on a sRGB corrected display vs the Rec709 version on a Rec709 display. If I use the Unicolor to make the transform see image for settings. sRGB Version Rec709 Version The rec709 version is super close on the sRGB display to the version of the Rec709 Display. While if I make a export from a rec709 grade on Resolve I always need to apply a Color Transformation node to transform the gamma to make it look the same. D…

    I’m sure this is an easy one and I believe I have done it before. I have a track for grading the clips and another on top doing a global adjustment. How can I keep working on my grades track while viewing the result of the top one. Right now, even if I double click the top one, every time I go to the next clip the visual focus jumps down to the grades track. I am aware I can have a Display Filter doing the global adjustment, but want to be able to apply that adjustment in only some sections of the cut. Tx A

    Hi there. Just downloaded the Beta and it's all looking great so far. Does the download come with any of the VR camera preset .grp files? Also, is there anywhere online that has an in-depth tutorial of the VR Stitch node? I've had a look at the extensive Mistika VR tutorials and whilst some of the controls crossover it's difficult to apply those to the VR Stitch node and would be really great if there was a tutorial based purely for Boutique/Ultima. Thanks. WIll shout when/if I find any bugs! Rob.

  22. Hola! Here are some questions and suggestions all Color related... not in any specific order. Already mentioned in a separate post. Will be great to have dedicated Master controls for RGB adjustment that can be reset independently of individual RGB values. How about a Contrast control with S-Curve option? Will be awesome of the Color Grade node have a Temperature and Tint controls. Is the Color Grade node, aware of the incoming gamma curve? Thinking mostly about how the ranges are defined for better mapping of the Bands sections. I can see an advantage of at least have Video, Log or Linear as predefined presets for this matter. On the s…

    I currently use two GeForce RTX 2080TI cards but will be testing a Quadro RTX 6000 as a possible upgrade. This is largely based on this SGO support article https://support.sgo.es/support/solutions/articles/1000247927-nvidia-quadro-or-geforce- is there any documentation that is available that goes deeper into the bus management of the two cards. In almost all online content the two cards are considered largely identical in architecture and differences are said to be minor. This article stands out it saying the Quadro cards are far superior. I would love to find out more. Is there NVidia developer manuals or anything like that? Couldn’t find anything via Goog…

    I'm finally finding some time to experiment with the various built-in FX and filters. In reading the manual and experimenting it seems there is a lot of power hidden in these that is not clear to many new users. Sometimes the names are pretty generic, other times there are many complicated parameters. One thing I've always missed in Mistika was some form of Frequency Separation to even out skin. Resolve has a new Blur/Sharpen effect that is divided into three bands. In reading the manual and playing with the Enhance filter, it seems Mistika too has that already built-in. You just have to stack multiple Enhance filters and setup the RadL/RadH accordingly. Is that a co…

    Is there a away of: 1 - Having the Display Filters "GUI" option affect the Storyboard icons as well. 2 - Maximize the Storyboard (or the Visual Monitor image) to fill the display screen. 3 - Having the Jog action in the Tangent panel to continue to the previous or next clips as we keep spring it forward or backwards. 4 - Have an option to get the Icons updated with the playhead position when the control panel Jog action is used... using Tangent in this case. The Icon will only update with the mouse click, but not with the panel Jog ring. Cheers! Abel
