Fantastic. Yes there are lots of ways of achieving the comparison. For me, the most important thing is how fast you get there. Been able to turn any of these into a template I can quickly drop-and-go is gold. Good stuff. Really looking forward to see what you got in store for Compositing tutorials. I’m a senior compositor at ILM Vancouver, so I’m ready to be impressed ?. A

Funny enough I, last night I put together a compare setup using Comp3D. Didn’t do a template yet put I think it may be my favorite way of doing this. Then saw your post ? Will probably turn it into a template. I wonder if there is a way to expose only certain parameters or even have acces to them vía custom variables. I’m thinking more like a Nuke Gizmo where custom values are exposed and they can control internal nodes parameter... even with expression. That way for example I can have a button that rearrange the compare vertically instead in horizontally... with one click. Maybe I went too far... will keep playing ? Thank so much much for making Mistika Boutique available for testing. I am a VFX Compositor very so often do color grading gigs, Mistika is really exiting and I will exploring more its features in the next few weeks. I already have some more question, feekback and suggestions I willl be posting in the next few weeks. Cheers! Abel

All those work great. Probably turning your favorite into a template group makes sense for reuse. I was hoping to have a more straight forward option to sync and play/compare two play heads, like is common in other systems. This could work by either be able to gang source and record monitors and have them side by side. Another option could be to be hable to set a “split” mode in the record monitor where you can compare play heads A and B. This mode could also have a “Side by Side” option, which I think is an option that could be added to the Visual Editor Snapshot modes. I’m aware that on can repo the snapshot sides, but a “one click” action will be faster. Cheers A

Fantastic! Will try those out. Thanks so much for the extensive explanation. Abel

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

Great! I’ll wait then. From the Tangent mappings I’ve seeing Lustre is probably the most comprehensive one, taking more advantage of the set, leaving only a few button/knobs unused. I haven’t tried Baselight yet. Thank you. A

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

Yes that works! Since these are all transition fx, leaving them locked is actually ideal in this case. Thanks!

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... any facilities using Mistika in Vancouver Canada?

Oh I just realized this the the Mistika Review board. Never mind. A
