“The Mistika software breaks the barrier between editing and compositing!” Misitika’s infinite layer timeline with no dedicated audio, video or effect tracks also works as a desktop on which editors have the creative freedom to move, cut, copy and paste multiple versions of an edit or complex composite effect stacks. In this same timeline interface we are also able to stack up multiple layers of clips and effects to create complex composites. Mistika allows non-destructive grouping of clips and effects that help users organize projects into more manageable pieces and also provides an intelligent way of creating template effects and composites that can be re-used as custom made effects. All effects and composite parameters in Mistika are manipulated using a comprehensive compositing view in which the users will find all the specific visual parameter manipulators for crop, color chooser, color corrector, 2D translation, 3D transformation, etc… The Mistika compositing panel has a tree flow diagram that allows you to navigate up to any level of the composite so that users can manipulate parameters at any level of the stack whilst they are seeing the final result changes in real time. Once Mistika users setup a composite stack on the timeline they are able work the entire composite using this simple composite panel without having to go back to the timeline. “Mistika introduces a gestural interface that turns editors and compositors into artists.” Mistika also introduces a proprietary character recognition system called “SCRIBE” that allows users fast access to common commands and effects using simple strokes and gestures from a WACOM tablet. With time and practice users will find that they can operate the Mistika software at great speed on automatic motions and gestures alone! “Mistika’s intuitive interface allows clients to be productive immediately.” Mistika’s interface has been designed for editors and compositors alike using well established editing and compositing interface paradigms as seen in other competing products without compromising or restricting Mistika’s own unique functionality. As a result the learning curve on Mistika is steep; users with experience in other products will have no problems getting their Mistika systems to produce finish projects with only a little practice.   AGI, SGO and AliasWavefront are a registered trademark.
