To continue my learning, I am interested in understand Mistika's notion of stitching preset. 1. If my Gear 360 2017 camera has FOV of 192.8, then how does this relate to a Mistika stitching preset Focal Length of 10.652? 2. How does the lens distortion correction affect the image, is the image warped to correct the image?

Hello, I realize this should go under the Jobs forum, but I was not able to post there for some reason.. We are looking for people that are well-versed in Boutique to help us make render templates. Basically, we need to try to recreate text moves and FX in Boutique that were first created in After Effects, so that we can have Workflows create unique versions. Some moves are pretty straight forward, others more complicated. We are an ad agency in the US and these would be for TV spots. If anyone is interested, please send me a DM (not sure if you can do that here this is my first post), and I can offer more details. But this would be a freelance gig and…

Hi Mistika Pro's. I need to do VECTOR PAINTOUT / CLEANUP in 360 VR 3D STEREO. When using the "classical" workflow with a VR View and a Vector Paint, the Vector Paint seems to only work on both eyes in parallel. So what I paint in the Left Eye view, will also be applied to the Right View, and accordingly wrong there. I somehow need to split the Stereo stream and work on each eye separately, then merge it back together. How is that possible in Mistika? I also watched every Tutorial you have and looked through the Manual, but couldn't find anything on this. Thanks!

Hi, I am using version 10.5.1 on Mac (but same problem applies also to previous version 10.2+). I am trying to do a rotoscoping with vector paint in a 3D video. All seems working well from the preview window, in fact I see that the paint is applied in all frames and with all shapes. The problem occurs when I export the video, because it does not apply any paint to the final render. Also I noticed that if I save, close the project and then re-open, the paint is not applied anymore to all frames. Do you have any idea where the problem could be? Thanks, Luca

Hello! I'm an all-round editor/grader/compositor for about 10 years now and a typical avid/premiere/resolve user (mostly resolve lately). and after seeing someone talking about Mistika and it's features, i was quite suprised that i didn't even know this software exist. As i'm looking at it now, it looks like this is a grading/vfx app with some basic editing capabilities, and a very interesting timeline setup. The reason i'm looking around is that i have a little bit of a bad feeling about resolve as the editing/fusion part is really getting clunkier every release, and some basic editing functions are just lacking, or just buggy, like, crucial bugs as disappeari…

I am looking to emulate the wider FOV look of some VR players (such as Skybox's zoom slider) and "bake" this into my insta360 EVO videos for platforms such as YouTube. I was able to achieve this with the native .INSV files and VR Stitch using the EVO camera preset, and by simply setting the Camera Defaults Focal Length to about 7.0. Results below. While this is great for skipping the insta360 Studio app, it seems the IMU data of the EVO is not supported for stabilization in Mistika. As such, I am now trying to use the "stitched" and stabilized output of the insta360 app and "size down" the video in Mistika. What is the best workflow for achieving the above look…

Hello all, I have recorded a 45 minutes session with a Qoocam 8K and Kandao Studio is constantly crashing. So I asked a college which has more experience with 360 video. She gives me her laptop for the weekend with Mistika Boutique and after a lot of reading and watching Youtube vids, I imported a small video and applied the Qoocam 8K preset. But nothing happens 😞 Sadly, my college has only used pro-cameras and has no experience with the Qoocam 8K. It seems that I have to split or seperate the Qoocam file because both front and back are in one file. For a test, I downloaded Mistika VR trial and followed some guide on the internet, seperated the file on the time…

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?

I'm trying to move a graphic over a video following the head movement of a person,,, the graphic is a image which is smaller than the background video and I compose it with a Comp3d The problem is that when I track the head on the video and I apply it to the image, it didn't work well, first because the position of the image is reset to 0 (but I can fix moving the curves) but the issue is that only works with position X and Y if I try to apply rotation or size it doesn't match at all any idea??

Hi, I'm evaluating a trial of Mistika Boutique 10.2.0 on my 2019 MacPro. Everything is working great, but I can not get Arri Raw to play back at all. This includes .ari and mxf wrapped from the Amira. The app just sits there and I get a spinning ball until I hit stop on my tangent panel. I have watched the "Performance Setting Tutorial" on YouTube, but nothing I set seems to help with the Arri files. Maybe I'm missing a setting, can anyone recommend an optimal config setting? These are my specs: 2019-Mac Pro with 3.5Ghz 8-Core Intel XeonW, MacOS Big Sur 11.4 288GB RAM, Single AMD Radeon W5700X Directly attached T…
