  5. 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!

  6. 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:

    Load_preset.thumb.png.4d40dcaf8d07cc41f640023343aacadf.png

     

    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,

    Hi guys!

    Our company is desperate to map the functionalities in the VR Stitch node to the elements panel.  As I understand it, there isn't currently a way to do this because VR stitch isn't included in the mapping libraries.  Main sources of interest are the ability to unfold the menus for specific cameras using buttons and adjust stitch parameters yaw pitch and roll using the wheels.  This has the potential to speed up our stitching workflow considerably.  

    Also, I am wondering if it's possible to map FX presets to the tangent and if so how one would go about it.  

    Thanks!

    Clay

     

    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!

    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 correct interpretation?

    Maybe we can add one more edition to the Masterclass series that focuses specifically on all the effects. The manual has some 'use examples'. Going through all this more interactively with the knowledge of the Masterclass presenters would be awesome.

    Hi Jan,

    Many thanks for sharing your feedback and ideas about the Mistika Masterclasses, much appreciated.

    Yes, FX is definitely a priority content for the upcoming Masterclasses.

    Best,

    Melanie
