Hola. Supongo que se podra usar el español, mi inglés no es muy bueno. Estoy interesado en probar la beta de Mistika Boutique, pero antes he visto algunos tutoriales en el canal de youtube. Asi he visto alarmado que Mistika crea directorios en el disco de sistema (C:) fuera de las rutas estándar (archivos de programa, ProgramData o AppData en usuario). No se si esto de puede cambiar en las opciones de configuración. Yo espero que si, pues por norma no permito ninguna carpeta fuera de las estandar en el disco de sistema. Para ello tengo aparte del disco de sistema dos SSD para proyectos y material y un RAID externo para capacidad. Por favor, ¿alquien me lo puede confi…

For those playing around with Vlog footage here is a shader to confer from Vlog Vgamut to ACES. I have included a some options to either not to gamut conversion or to output Linear Rec709... just need to comment/uncomment the proper lines. Using color science from Panasonic: https://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/cinema_camera_varicam_eva/support/pdf/VARICAM_V-Log_V-Gamut.pdf Played around with some Panasonic GH5 footage from Neumann Films with good results Have fun! A PS. Im sure SGO will include VLog conversions in the Unicolor in upcoming releases, so not recommended to use this in production. VLog_to_ACES.glsl

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

Hola! Couple of comp question here. I got a Ramp effect being cut by a Shape and being used as a layer in a Comp3D setup. - Does Mistika have a "Infinite Canvas" concept outside the Comp3D node? Meaning doest it "see" what is outside the framing of the Grade effect framing? The .env file I have attached may not be the best example of what I mean, but its represented by the shape being cut/limited by the Grade framing. I think more of CG EXRs render that have been render with overscan outside the EXR Window range. - Within the Comp3D node, is it possible to adjust the concatenated position of the Grade Shape? Since the Layer the Shape is in have a X…

Any plans for supporting Blackmagic Decklink cards? A

Hey people, here is an attempt to rebuild the Kodak 2383 Film (D65) Emulation LUT while studying the Colour Grade node. I tried to follow Juan Melara's approach https://youtu.be/brPPM05NK_0 He will probably have a better way using Mistika native tools. The grade is expecting LogC with Rec709 Gamut, but obviously you can disable the main base curve an surly your own Rec709 'ish curve. It is only an approximation that I though it was good enough to use as customizable look. Put the links to all test images in the notes. Enjoy! A Kodak_2383_Approx_Timeline.env

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…

Hola! Have been playing with Boutique Color Grade node for a little while now. Lots of fun working with it. Playing around with the Tangent Panels in Color/Primaries mode, I noticed the Contrast knob adjusts the grade’s Black and White points to get the desire result. At the same time, the Panel’s individual RGB knobs for Levels, Whites and Blacks also adjust the same parameters in the grade. A problem comes when the “Master” controls like Contrast or Levels are reset in the Panels, the color decisions made with dedicated RGB knobs or Trackballs are also reset. I thought this was more of Tangent mapping thing, but maybe is its more related to the lack of d…

What is the best way of comparing a reference offline cut against the current timeline. Here is what I’m doing for now. - Bringing the clip into the timeline, re-size it to the current proyect, make a group, lock the timeline in X and move the play head up and down to A/B the tracks. There most be another way. Bear in mind I’m doing this without a video board. Thanks Abel

Hola! Since I only got one of each Tangent Element modules, I am about to do some remapping of functions to accommodate for a single Bt panel. Was wondering if anyone have done this? Cheers Abel

Is there something similar to Nuke's Spherical Transform or After Effects polar coordinates in Mistika Boutique. I've tried all of the distorts to no luck. Looking for a way to tranform latlong stitched footage into 180 fisheye.

Hi, Thank you for making Mistika Boutique available as an open beta. I am a VFX Artist and colorist enthusiast. My first question is about the Effect Scope extent. Is there a keyboard or tangent element shortcut to extend the scope column down or up? Also, when I move and effects up or down the timeline tracks the bottom of its scope sticks to its inputs, but not to when its done to several effects clips at the same time. Is there a specific shortcut to achieve this? I specifically when to be able to move all the transitions of a conformed timeline up a few tracks, but still affecting the edit at the bottom. Thanks in advance.  Abel.  BTW..…

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.
