Hi there! You need no preset for the Titan. Import the clips, then import the pro.prj, all parameters should set correctly. Also, you can drag&drop it on top of the eight imported clips. If you have any other questions or technical issues, open a ticket on our Support Portal and our engineering team will be more than happy to help you. Cheers!

Hi Luijt, Yes, you just have to go to the clip stack --> right-click and 'save clip' (this will save the settings of one clip). To apply the same settings for the other clips you have to make the same action but instead of clicking on 'save preset' you just click on 'load preset'. Here's a reference image: With regards to the Insta360 Pro preset, I've just checked and it is available. You just have to make Login and you'll be able to download it. Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Best,

[MASTERCLASS REPLAY] Hi all, in case you missed - here is a replay of the lastest Color Masterclass. Have a look at this Masterclass and learn how to comply and deploy efficient but yet flexible Color Management strategies in Mistika Boutique using ACES and Dolby Vision. You can watch it in HERE. Thank you for a great session, Adrian González!

Hi Jeff, We have uploaded the latest Mistika Masterclass about Color Management. You can find it in HERE. Cheers!

Hi Clay, Thanks for reaching out and your suggestions. You're correct, the functionalities in the VR stitch node aren't mapped to the element panels. Anyway, this would be a great feature to add to future developments. We usually make a feature request survey and users vote for their favorite ones to be implemented. We will consider your request for the next survey. Many thanks again. Cheers!
