Can't wait to be able to play back MLV files in the camera ....if that's possible

Beautiful video!

Just tried "nick" version and I see a pink frame in the MLV file... what caused the pink frame?

New test , watch in "Original" quality if possible

Very nice... what resolution spec and aspect ratio and fps did you use? crop mode? did you use any moire filter? love those bricks...

Nothing explains better the situation than this animated GIF!
Thanks Britom for this post with the latest builds.
Done some test shoots with my 7D as well:

Nice video, what render resolution setting you use for Vimeo? as is? or 1280x720?

We need an MLVanizer for the MLV files!

now i'm serching for an onset storage solution.
i don't want to buy several 1000x cards, so i thought to buy 2 komputerbay 32gb 1000x cards and one nexto di nd2730.
one card is in the cam the other's transfering the data to the nexto di.
one 32 gb card gives you about 7-8 minutes of recording right?
does anyone have experience with the nexto di?
or do you have other solutions?

greets hun

If you already have a laptop and maybe a card reader, this portable hard drive might be a cheaper solution?

Your welcome. See you on the 22nd.

What's on the 22nd?

@ted rasmasola: thank you!

- Using crop mode, I can record (not in silent picture, raw_rec!) around 200 - 300 frames in 2.5k, without glitches and frame corruption beyond the 600px limit, no problem at all![/b]

Excuse me if I sound like a noob..I'm still trying to learn here... I searched and couldn't find any info on how you can record in crop mode in 2.5K?

Go here and download the Mac version in the first post: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7802.0

This is a terminal utility that will rip the MLV into individual .DNG frames. All you have to do is open up the terminal and drag the utility into the terminal. The terminal should then show the path of the utility. For example, I put the utility into my Applications folder so when I dragged it into the terminal it read: /Applcations/mlv2dng

The add a space (you may already have a space at the end, in which case, don't worry about adding another) and then drag the .mlv file into the terminal so you now have the path to  the .mlv file showing. In the end, it should look something like this:

Code Select Expand

$ /Applications/mlv2dng /Users/USERNAME/Download/FILENAME.MLV

Then hit Enter. It will rip all the individual, sequenced frames to your user folder. I'm not sure why it doesn't just rip them into the same directory that the .mlv file is in, but for me it put all the frames into the User folder. I was then able to bring them into Photoshop to do my CameraRAW corrections and into AfterEffects, or wherever.

Can you play this .mlv file in the camera? ..ie.. checking the footage after being shot? I guess I could try it and find out but want to know first

Hard to frame the picture in the "crop mode", as the picture displayed is not actually as the same size as the one captured.
It's kinda tricky with such tiny subjects ^^

is there a way to add anything to help me framing in this mode? 

I'm too confused on "crop-mode"... how does one frame it? what you see in the LV is what you'll get?

@fotiful That was a beautiful video, the color so rich and looks so sharp... love it!!! so inspiring!!! awesome stuff!

@kh3naz Amazing!

@arrinkiiii nice video! love the sky! what setting did you shoot it with? resolution on which aspect ratio and frame rate?

@juantamad yes! we all are!

Another test video

Question:

I tried but I couldn't find "Override FPS" from within Magic Lantern for 7D Alpha... I see it says 23.976 on the overlay but how do I change that.. idk, maybe to 60 or 30 fps? I tried to use Canon menu to change it but it doesn't change what magic lantern shows on the over lay... it only changes the resolution in the raw video menu... anyone could help me?

My first test as well... with the 8/16/13 build

1600x600 scaled to fit 1280x720 @24fps

Hi! I tried to put the false color option: Small HD...  but the image continue freeze while I am recording raw video. Can you explain me another time? I don't now what I'm doing wrong :-(

Thanks!

Turn off the camera and turn it back on... and try again... it should work

Maybe I'm just the last one to notice this, but it seems like false color overlays continue to work during raw recording. I've just been switching to the "small hd" mode, which allows me to track and focus reasonably well. Of course the downside is that you only get monochrome on screen, but that seems like a small price to me for raw video...

If this is common knowledge, then sorry for sounding redundant. I'm figuring there are at least a few people out there who aren't aware of this

Wow... nice find! I can see now!! lol

Thank you!

First tried the raw method with continuous shooting... still low resolution but it's a beginning of a great thing I can't wait for once the Live View frozen issue got fixed
