Would be nice to integrate the style/functionality of those bit-rate type calculators into ML – which then prepares settings to shoot with. Happy New Year all! :P

This is a cool GUI mockup (or you've recently gained godlike powers and will be releasing it tomorrow). Needs at least 120 fps though.
You can tell I'm not a 'proper' developer because I start with the UI as my inspiration... ;D To each his own I guess.
But joking aside, working away from presets – and towards a single all-camera build that can accommodate any user's input (up to a specific camera's limits) is inspirational to me! Not so long ago 4K was simply a dream in search of realisation.
If the current dev work allows for choice of resolution, bit-depth, binning, ratio, frame-rate etc., I can see edge cases for which a user might select 96fps (or 120!) if the final output is going to be a 20s 340p clip seen only on a mobile device! (Is this actually possible btw – or are we hitting the 5D3 card write speed limits?)
I know it's easy to reel off this functionality wish-list, and – having recently dipped a toe myself into developing – quite another to deliver it. :o But we all need a goal.
I guess I've just set mine pretty high! :)
Any 10cents?

You'd be surprised! I've seen "work towards this UI goal" as the first step before in professional teams. I will admit it's often a lot more painful if the UI design came from the marketing department...
I definitely agree that these tweaks should be put into a proper menu now they work pretty reliably. I honestly like your GUI mockup. I've got an M2 now so in theory I could work on this. But I'm not going to until the 200D runs ML at least okay (I bought the M2 so I could compare code on a working cam, to aid in debugging. But I have been helping Danne a bit in secret. Don't tell anyone!).

When you are developing a custom application for a specific client, you always create a mock UI first... "a customer only tells you what he wanted after you present him what he asked for".
Hah! I wasn't so far off the mark after all! ;)
I shall expect a beta by Monday then! :P
