Where Is Mistika 11 ?

Davinci and Baselight have been making great strides, and I feel that in recent years, Mistika Ultima has fallen behind. Mistika Ultima needs revolutionary innovative technology and continuous UI improvement. Personally, I think Davinci and Baselight's UI  are more exquisite and beautiful than Mistika's.

I Love Mistika ! I support Mistika and do not want her to be like Autodesk Lustre, about to leave the stage of history.

In addition, I think it is necessary to redesign Mistika Config, preferably integrating it into Mistika Ultima/Boutique and adding a dark style. It is recommended to refer to Baselight Preferences. The function of automatically adjusting window size when switching options is not user-friendly, and I hope it can be improved. Furthermore, it would be even better if Mistika  could also support PostgreSQL databases.

I am getting an error when trying to use the Autocalibrate feature. "Error launching feature extractor". What does that mean?

Hi kexianliang,

The release of Mistika 11 was delayed due to the major framerate change we made in Mistika 10.8. This change affected several parts of Mistika's core, and we needed some time to ensure the stability of the version. Meanwhile, version 11 has been developed in parallel, adding more features and GUI changes. In fact, we have merged the metadata support from Mistika Workflows into Mistika Boutique, bringing new capabilities to manage, organize, and filter your timeline based on different metadata criteria. Additionally, we have migrated more tools to the new GUI, following the overall redesign that we have been working on for the past few years.

Our current focus is on supporting new standards and improving/redesigning the GUI. Now that we have released 10.8, we can concentrate entirely on version 11 to release it as soon as possible.

Cheers!
