For a few years now some friends of mine are organizing a small but lovely music festival in Germany (Keine Fische Aber Grethen) and there are support parties every now and then. For the next one we wanted to do a trailer. So last Saturday we did a quick and dirty shoot (about three hours shooting, three hours cutting/color/fx). Music is from a tune I did a few years back. Don't be too harsh with the clip.. it was all about the fun Walk in Crawl out...

The talk was recorded at Linuxtag in Berlin, on 25. May 2013:

Special thanks go to Matthias Kirschner from the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) for inviting us to Linuxtag!

Enjoy!

I now this has been requested before and we have a rather strict policy on not doing any permanent changes except for setting the boot flag and changing some canon menu accessible settings.

But - I have just returned from a multicam, multicard shoot and I found keeping the configuration between different cameras and cards very difficult. And one aspect of it was that whenever we switched cards, we had to update any changes we made to ml config during the shoot (we did obviously sync ml config between all cards before the start of the shoot).

So I was wondering if maybe here is an option to store ml config in canon memory? Maybe there is an area that cannot be used for anything else and where we can safely store a (compressed?) ml config?

Also I'm wondering if maybe there are other options. For example - is it save now to, say save current ml config to card, then swap cards without shutting down the camera and then re-save ml config to the new card? If not - maybe we could add a function that makes it save (ie swap cards keeping config - it would save config, prompt the user to swap cards and re-save config, signaling the user when when everything is safe again.)

Hey, just played around with audio remote shot and thought it would be great to have the option of setting a delay value between clapping and the shot being taken. Otherwise all my family pics will show me clapping
