Hi there,
Does the beta test officially end soon as I am getting the license expiry notification in 5 days? Are we allowed to play with Boutique for longer?
Hi Rob
Many thanks for reaching out and using Mistika Boutique in the Open Beta period which is very much appreciated.
Indeed, the Open Beta period is for one month so it is normal to receive the license notification. As you might know, Mistika Boutique 8.8.0 has been officially released last week and the 30-Day Evaluation Version is available which is free of charge and includes all the features and toolsets, however, it is limited in terms of rendering - allowing to render only to compressed formats: Mistika, AVI DV Movie, AVI movie, MXF VC3 movie and Quicktime movie.
If you want to keep testing the software this could be a good option
Let me know if you have any other question!
Kind regards

EXR DWA support on Mistika VR. EXR DWA. This is an image format developed by ILM and mainly used as an intermediate format for VFX workflows. Probably the most popular variant is DWA (created by DreamWorks Animation). It is an image sequence (one frame per file), which makes it ideal for many VFX workflows, and in fact, most VFX applications support this format.
A difference to movie files it can be rendered in parallel (several render nodes working together to render the same clip) with render managers like Smedge, Deadline, or Mistika Ultima BatchManager. Also, it can be partially “patched” when needed (as a difference, “movie” files need to be rewritten completely).
This permits an interesting workflow for Mistika VR users: You can render the first stitch for initial review (for example with Mistika Boutique or Mistika Review products) and then adjust and re-render only the parts containing fixes. To do that just put the edit marks in the area to fix and render with the same name, so Mistika will only overwrite the selected frames. (obviously, this technique only works as long as you do not need to move the horizon or other geometry settings anymore)
Another advantage of the EXR format is that it supports 16bit per channel, which makes it ideal for HDR workflows and for high-end cameras in general.
EXR DWA provides definable compression, with the default compression value (45) it is considered a “Lossless” format, even for high-end cameras.
The EXR DWA format is CPU intensive, but as a difference to jpg, this format is fast to encode and to playback, being possible to playback in Mistika applications at 4K when having decent CPUs.
Another EXR variant of common usage is EXR ZIP. This is made by compressing the original image to ZIP format internally ( the ZIP compression is not only lossless but also fully reversible). But It is much slower and less efficient in terms of file sizes when compared to DWA, so it is only recommended when explicitly required by a VFX department.
Improvements:
- Importing the KanDao calibration no longer requires applying a preset first.
- Using the Insta360 calibration tool no longer requires applying a preset first.
New Presets:
- Preset for Vuze Plus added.
- Preset for ZCam V1Pro added.
- Preset for Insta360 Pro2 preset added.
-
Preset for Kandao at 1900x1500 resolution added.
Fixes:1565 Changing frame rate with Mistika VR running wasn’t changing the frame rate for the renders.
1588 PtGui was showing an error message when sending images from an unnamed timeline.
1659 Import Kandao calibration tool wasn’t working when merging sequences.
1774 The zCam V1 preset ought to be renamed to V1 Pro.
1968 When creating a project with a name that contained upper & lower case characters and exceeded a certain length, it had been recognized as not valid.
1978 The Relink window was not accessible when changing a project with offline media.
1991 Inject Spatial Media Metadata was not working properly with 'bitrate' codecs (VLC-proper issue). Metadata was present in a generated video but VLC didn’t use it. Our tests generated movies with PotPlayer (https://potplayer.daum.net/) which correctly interpreted the Stereo and 3D information.
2009 When drag & drop any kind of media from the Windows browser to Mistika VR, the media was moved to the Trash. This was Windows-proper issue, where those modifiers act in that way.
2031 Autopano executable could not be linked in the stitch configuration window.
2051 Import of BMP files was causing a few issues.
2056 The mosaic view was showing still images incorrectly.
2087 ‘Save a single image’ tool was not saving the images in the current project.
2089 Import from PtGui 11: If the Lens type was other than Full Frame Fisheye, the results shown were incorrect.
2090 It was not possible to use drag & drop function to load Autopano Projects.
2091 When setting One Input view mode, the Visual Editor controls were not working properly.
2097 The Message shown when render encoder fails was misleading.
2111 KanDao metadata import was not setting all necessary parameters.
2112 Insta360 Pro calibration was not setting all necessary parameters.
2113 Troubles when sending more than 14 images to PTGui or Autopano.
2124 The link to the Forums in the Help Menu wasn’t correct.
2145 When rendering with the command line an incorrect resolution was assigned.
2170 For Top-Bottom media (Yi Horizon) the crop circle size overlay was drawing an incorrect size.
2172 The “pixel ratio” was working inversely between Mistika VR and Mistika Boutique. -

Hi all, As promised, Mistika VR 8.8.7 Release Notes are now available. As usual, all the exciting new features, improvements and presets are free of charge for all existing Mistika VR Users as part of the SGO Loyalty Rewards Program. After the Official release, this functionality will also be available in the evaluation version.
New features:
1. Keyframe animation: Long requested by the users, finally coming!
- Every parameter of the stitching can be now animated.
- To enable animation, select a parameter and use the “add keyframe” from its contextual menu. Any further modifications to this parameter at different times will automatically add new keyframes.
- The output camera heading and edge point positions can be animated dragging over the image, once they were converted to animated.
- For the selected parameter, keyframe marks will be shown in the timeline bar.
- The keyframes in the timeline bar can be moved in time using ctrl+drag on them.
- Selecting the keyframe marks in the bar will snap the time position precisely to that of the keyframe.
- There are now “next key” / “prev key” buttons in the toolbar.
2. Insta360 Pro calibration tool now included. The “use Insta360 Pro calibration” is not simply a calibration import, like in the previous release. This tool actually calls the calibration tool provided by Insta360, for the frame you are viewing in the moment of using it. This allows an easy selection of a good calibration frame, as the calibration results can be seen immediately applied in MistikaVR.
3. Insta360 One now supported:
- New Flip Horizontal parameter added, necessary to support Insta360 One camera.
- New preset for Insta360 One added.
- KanDao QooCam presets added, for both VR3D180 and VR360 mode.
4. Vertical Alignment tool: The Experimental tool allowing precise human-assisted alignment especially for VR180 shots, where there are not yet good automatic tools available.
Improvements:
Much faster loading of the timelines: Storyboard icons are now saved with the timeline, and restored at the load, avoiding a costly access and recalculation of all the shots in the timeline just to recreate the storyboard.

Hi all, We are happy to Release the new version of Mistika VR 8.8.5 to all Mistika VR customers. The latest Mistika VR version is already available free of charge to all existing customers. You can Download it from your downloads page https://www.sgo.es/my-account/downloads Your license should support this new feature, as all existing customer licenses have been upgraded, but if you can not see the functionality, please, contact support at support.sgo.es What is coming in this new version 8.8.5 from beta version: New features:
- Stabilization now has the “Prioritize Front” option. This allows the user to hint the system which direction of view is important, and stabilize it more precisely at cost of the opposite (back) direction. Also, improves on shots where back direction is best ignored because it contains something not intended to be stabilized, like the person hand carrying the rig, for example. Also, stabilization is now robust to large changes in the pole regions, especially common with drone shots.

- CHANGE REQUEST: ColorGrade "Proportional" now shows a green dot when active to make it more obvious that it is a key by itself
