Thanks @Danne for the PM follow up regarding the latest update to your app -- I am currently waiting for the IT guys to come by and type in their Admin username/password (which I dont have access to) on this Mac Pro at work.

Stand by...

It should work now with DaVinci Resolve. From my tests audio embeds when inserting ixml data to the file which matches the framerate filmed in. So included for installing is a folder with bmcc.xml. Store the originals and consider this a hacky way to get the audio to embed with the files.

Since the IT guys at work couldn't figure out the actual usename/pw in Terminal -- so here I am at back at home just started out the latest update & currently rendering overnight in both MLV/RAW along w several Dual-ISO's as well worth approximately 91.55gb...

Thanks for the update once again and stand by for the results!

Main difference is all ixml and exif info is recopied or inserted after conversion with cr2hdr20 bit. Straight to the 16-bit DNG files. Mlvfs is producing proper cdng files and dmilligan reprogrammed to get a professional workflow and professional files.
My cr2hdr-r is for fun and learning bash and such. Maybe I get some time learning actual programming sometime. Who knows ;)
If audio embeds files should be of high quality though. Do some tests.

Updated to version 1.3 in first post. Now cr2hdr-r is also provided as a workflow service in automator. No need to install binaries, already inside the workflow service. Also added a command line which tells if it the file extracted from RAW or MLV are dual iso or not. If it,s not cr2hdr stops trying to convert files and proceeds to the next MLV or RAW file.

Works with DaVinci Resolve.

Doubleclick and install the workflow service. Right click on a folder with files to start converting. You,ll find the workflow under services when right clicking.

DeafEyeJedi

Dude... this app seems to be a bit quicker on the renderings. It pushes 40-45 dng's per second before the dual-iso gets converted (which does about 4 dng's every 5-6 seconds!)

Holy Smokes...  8)

Makes me want to shoot more Dual-ISO with ease on my mind!

Thanks, Danne!

p.s. +1 for the workflow service!!!

Cool :).
It is Alex snd g3gg0 wizardry. Havn,t done anything to the binaries but nice to hear it is running fast :)

DeafEyeJedi

Yes of course I know all of this wouldn't be possible if it weren't for a1ex, g3gg0 and everyone else including DEV's on board in the ML community. Thanks again!

It only makes me wonder how much faster could this be if I were to use a latest model of MBP's because my current 2006 15inch MPB is modified with 250gb SSD along with a mere 6gb of ram.

Stay strong...

LoL

Thanks for posting. Hard to tell if the flicker in the sky comes from acr, lack of including black level(only same level for whitelevel in recent version)
What do you say? Is it the same as before regarding flicker?

DeafEyeJedi

Not quite sure. I duplicated the workflow in ACR (highlights/shadows) as previously done in earlier test. Only difference was the fact that I didn't use AE last time so could that play a factor in this so called flickering issue? (I thought it looked good until the sun starts causing the flares which makes it look a bit flickering so I wouldn't know which to blame it on?)

Perhaps I should open the DNG's in PS and export as Tiff's like how I did before and see if that would make the differences? I don't think it would...

Danne

I dont think that is needed. What sliders did you mess with in acr?

Danne

Just watched the first clip and it also seems to have some problematic skies. I think were good.

Agreed.

I just touched the Tone Curve (Dark/Shadows @ +100).

DeafEyeJedi

Actually after watching the test clip several times and noticed it was slightly under exposed. Went into ACR via AE and noticed I didn't have the ToneCurve shadow slider all the way up to +100 (it was at +83) when the Highlight was still at +100.

My fault on that guys...

Here's the correct take...



MLV > cr2hdr-r > AE > ProRes 4444

Looks nice :)
Tried out 50fps and the audio issue. Not sure why audio it,s halfed in timeline in AE and the problem seems to be there in mlvfs and mlrawviever as well. Actually full audio is recorded but something doesn,t synch with higher framerate when recording MLV.

DeafEyeJedi

Thanks & I noticed that as well -- Hopefully there'll be a fix for the 50/60fps Audio issue sometime soon...

Probably related to ML coding & hopefully a1ex or g3gg0 will implement a quick update!

@Danne -- did another test with Dual-ISO 2.5k MLV. Converted w latest app through service workflow. My question is... Do you rather adjust Tone Curve first in ACR from AE before exporting with VisionLOG.

Because after exported I wanted to try apply a certain 3D LUT that I thought looked pretty clean but for some reason the highlights looked completely drained out (like as if I did it too much but hadn't touched the highlight slider on the main page within ACR other than the Tone Curves) so I'm not sure if I am doing something odd during this process?

Thoughts?

Danne

I actually don,t use vision log that much. I try to get some good results straight in acr. Been a while now though, a lot of other work going on. Tried vision log but I am not too skilled in post production outside acr so couldn,t get highlights back as i wanted.

DeafEyeJedi

Apparently I just tested out a Non dual-ISO file w VisionLOG and it comes out well than from a dual-ISO in which I guess makes sense in a way...

Since Dual-ISO ALREADY gives you that extra DR? lol

Version 1.4
Some minor changes to installation of binaries.

DeafEyeJedi

Whoooohoooooo thanks @Danne -- will definitely check it out!
