Hi all,

A new maintenance version of Mistika Boutique is now available, adding new fixes and stability improvements throughout the software. This version is already available for download in your Online SGO Account.

Improvements

• WMV Support – Added support for the WMV (Windows Media Video) file extension, allowing WMV media to be recognized and used within the application.

• Increased Open Movie Limit – The maximum number of simultaneously open movies has been increased to 20, aligning with the updated GPU-based decoder handling across supported camera formats.

• Gallery Panel Sliders – Sliders are now available within the Gallery panel, improving direct interaction and adjustment workflows inside the interface.

• Optimized Relink Performance – Relink operations using “Selected Clips” now evaluate only the chosen clips, reducing unnecessary processing and improving efficiency.

Fixes

• Pixel Aspect Ratio Rendering – Fixed an issue affecting pixel aspect ratio settings when the render resolution differed from the project resolution.

• Neat Video Resolution Handling – Corrected incorrect pre/post image resolution values being sent to NeatVideo 6.

• Render Path Folder Naming – Fixed an issue where the last folder level in the render path was ignored. Folder names are now correctly included in rendered clip names.

• Sapphire Plugin Stability – Resolved a problem occurring when opening the preset GUI for Sapphire plugins.

• Windows RGB & CH Icons – Fixed a display issue in Mistika Boutique on Windows where RGB and CH icons were not rendering correctly.

• Sapphire Parameter Labels – Corrected parameter label display issues affecting Sapphire plugin controls.

• OFX Plugin Stability – Fixed issues related to OFX plugins, including Neat Video 5, improving overall plugin stability.

• RED Metal Decoder Stability – Resolved a problem in the Metal decoder for RED media occurring in multi-user scenarios.

• FCPXML Conform Empty Clips – Fixed an issue where conforming FCPXML files could generate empty clips.

• XML Still Image Conform – Corrected conform behavior for XML files containing still images, preventing them from being incorrectly detected as image sequences.

• Render Token Recognition – Fixed a bug where certain render tokens were not being correctly recognized during output generation.

Hello SGO , It's been a long time since there were any updates on Mistika Ultima/Boutique. I wonder if Mistika Ultima/Boutique is still under development? If the development is still ongoing, I strongly recommend adding a main program installation path option for Mistika Ultima, just like Mistika Workfolws, instead of default installation to the "Home/User" user level directory. Furthermore, I believe it is now time to add AI models to Mistika, especially ML Mattle. Otherwise Under the wave of AI, Mistika Boutique/Ultima may lose its value in existence
