Mistika 10 questions

[Rakesh Malik]

Where are the raw parameters? I'm not seeing them anywhere for my Redcode clips.

Is there a way to move the scopes to another monitor? It's not letting me drag them off of the main editor window to my 2nd screen.

Hi Rakesh!

I'm so glad you are already downloaded the open beta for Mistika Boutique 10

The RAW files should be embedded into the file, as you can see in this screenshot:

 

However, be sure that you are working on a new project and a new timeline created with Mistika Boutique 10. Mistika products have retro-compatibility between versions, however, there are situations like this is one in which big new features are not created in timelines created with previous versions to avoid conflicts

That's not possible. As said in the webinars, that what the development road map is for Mistika Boutique, in which you will be able to position different windows wherever you like. However, it's not possible at the moment. Sorry for that inconvenience.

Please let us know whatever feedback or technical issues you may encounter. We will happily listen to your concerns!

Cheers,

That was it, I was working on a new timeline, but not a new project. The raw params are back ?

I must have misunderstood, I though the floating windows could be moved off of the desktop. But now that I have the raw parameters figured out and some coffee perking me up I can spend some time today getting familiar with the new color corrector.

Thank you! I will deal with the possibilities Channels.

Can I mute 2-3 layers at once in Color grade page?

[ilia.ivanov]

There is a problem with the sapphire plugin. If I use it on a stack where there is no alpha channel generation by any of the plugins, then everything is fine. If I want to use alpha from the colorgrade node or I have an effect, such as noise reduction, then the plugin does not work correctly.
What is the problem and how to solve it?

I'm afraid not! That's not possible at the moment.

The issue is caused because the Noise effect makes an alpha channels based on the analysis of the image. You need to get rid of the alpha channel produced by the Noise effect, by placing a "Clear Alpha" effect on top of it. 

 

Let me know if it works please ?

Clear alpha work, thank you!

sorry, are you planning to add this feature?

[ilia.ivanov]

My cache does not work. Initially, in the project settings, I indicated the folder on the disk that was intended for the cache. When this function did not work, I tried to open the project with the factory settings, but the result is the same, the icon is always red. What could be the problem and what additional information is needed to solve it?

If the shot you want to denoise has an alpha already associated, the denoise will apply the effect only on the alpha. If not, the alpha made automatically by the Denoise effect is a movement map to control the combined mode. Pixel-moving areas are painted white, static areas are black. Over the white areas the Spatial denoise is applied. On the black the mode applied is the temporal.

I'll add it to the feature request list. It will be considered for future request surveys. ?

First of all, check that the folder you selected for the Playback cache has write and read permission please. If not, grant permission and it should work.

Then, be sure that the cache is rendered. You have to first activate the Cache on the Effects/Clips you want to activate the cache. Then, you have to render the cache, you can do it in foreground or background mode.

 

Let me know if that works please ?

Looking forward to your reply.

Cheers,

for the selected folder, set full rights to all users, but the cache status is still red. Maybe I didn’t do something in the permissions of the folder?

[Cristobal Bolaños]

Then, you need to go to Edit > Playback Cache > Render Pending in Foreground

When clicked in there, a progress bar will appear and Mistika will start rendering the Cache.

i get error message

[Cristobal Bolaños]

Then, there must be something else we are overlooking.  I'm sorry you are facing that inconvenience. We take a deeper look into it if you open a ticket in the support portal That way all our agents will be aware of the issue

How to interpret material from anamorphic optics? in arri.raw settings there is a corresponding setting on how to work with another video correctly?

[Cristobal Bolaños]

Hi guys!

Just to let you all know,  thanks to Ilia we could identify a beta issue.  Unfortunately, when working with an evaluation license, it is not possible to render cache at first. Fortunately, there's a quick solution.  If you make a render with Mistika.js codec, and you send this render to the same location where you set the Playback Cache in Mconfig, that solves the issue and you can make renders of the cache from that point. The dev team is already aware of this issue and they will fix it as soon as possible.

There's a parameter in the Arri Raw params called: Anamorph factor. By default it will bet set with "Source" mode, but you can change it. Then, you have to be aware of the Project settings, which define the final output resolution, and the mode in which each clip is set in the Framing. By default, they will be set with Project mode, so they get automatically adapted. But you can change those settings and propagate them.

In arri.raw I saw, if I work with R3D are prores How can I work with anamorph correctly?

[Cristobal Bolaños]

For R3D values there's no RAW param to modify the anamoprh setting. Each camera manufacturer provides different capabilities for the RAW params. To work with anamoprh correctly you'll need to go with the good old framing effect and use the different tools built in Mistika to propagate the values accordingly: dummies, display filters, gangs, fx presets... and so on ?

Thank you a lot, Cristobal! I thought so, but decided to clarify. Please tell me, do framing fx has contains presets for different anamorphic coefficients or do i need to manually adjust and save your presets? I could not find it myself

You Should do it youself

but you can open project base on your output.

like Scope 2048x858 and fit width
