Title: Really need 4:3 cropmark in ML package
Post by: Rush on October 13, 2012, 12:51:38 AM
Dear developers.

It will be nice to have 4:3 cropmark in ML. This aspect ratio is still in TV production.

I was disappointed with the lack of 4:3 cropmark - and the worst for me - I can't find this cropmark anywhere.

Thank you.

see http://www.sawomedia.de/magiclantern/cropmarks/
or http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Cropmarks about how to create your own.

as you need that cropmarks and know how it has to look like, help us!
create the cropmark, document it (explain what is is for) and link it here.
we will include it in future releases.

Good luck with that. I spent like two hours in Photoshop trying to make a cropmark for the MKII and failed. Supposedly it's easier for some other cameras though.

I made 4:3 aspect ratio cropmark (for filming in 1080 or 720).
It works, but it is not compressed to small size.

With and without black bars:

Nightly builds should load photoshop's RLE cropmarks without (too many) issues.

On the T2i, it's been a breeze. You have to respect the file format when exporting the .bmps : http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Cropmarks
