SGO has announced another new version of the industry adopted stitching software Mistika VR, introducing keyframe animation together with many other new features and improvements. This upgrade is available to all existing
Mistika VR customers at no additional cost.
The latest release of Mistika VR brings the much requested keyframing feature, providing enhanced stitching flexibility and greater control of the VR 360 postproduction process. This results in a significantly higher final quality of the project.
Mistika VR is also now able to stitch Insta360 Pro footage at the highest level of precision due to the newly incorporated Insta360 Pro calibration libraries. This new tool facilitates the selection of a perfect calibration frame with the results being immediately applied in Mistika VR.
And a new Vertical Alignment tool allows precise user-assisted alignment, essential for VR180 shots, as automated tools in this field are not readily available.
Furthermore, storyboard icons are now saved with the timeline and restored at the project load preventing time-consuming recalculation of all the shots.

“Working with Sinners and Saints in the demanding field of tabletop was an absolute pleasure,” shared Apple Pie Tabletop in a joint statement. “Warm welcome, unwavering support and dedication--everything a director can ask for. The entire experience was both enjoyable and rewarding. We will not miss an opportunity to collaborate with them again.”
“The first thing you notice is that Apple Pie has beautiful work,” Heller observed. “Having worked with them, I can say that Gene and Alisa are extremely meticulous and detail-oriented; their combination of talent and agility appeals to agencies and clients.” Also appealing to Heller is Apple Pie Tabletop’s brisk international...
