Now i have to order the CF as well.....but not sure which one yet, I don`t have confidence in Komputerbay 64GB 1000x, is anyone testing a Lexar 32GB 1000x?

I'm using a lexar 16gb 1000x works nice for me. With the may 28th build, zebra on and a lot of overlays on, i can still record at 1600 in 16:9 24 fps that hits 57mb/s

What recent biuld you guys are hsing that seems to work so well?
I tried the june 8th build but with out succes.

Can't get the raw tab in the video menu. Even if i load magic.sys
Raw_rec.mo

forgot to write that the magic.sym doesn't seems to load.

i erased magic.cfg so ML can make a fresh one. without any results


the 28th may is working. i chamged the raw_rec.mo for the one of today but got the vram_clear_lv failed to link modules message

i tried the build of today without good results.
maybe because i don't know where to look at.

did the scripts folder.
loaded the raw_rec module

but i can't figure out how to start recording in raw or define what resolution to use. no place to be found for these 2 issues.

Now that was a surprise:
Went to the post office yesterday to pick up the 50d i ordered from soith korea.
First, it took only 4 days from there to canada!
Went back home hoping that everything would work as it should on the camera, that the battery get a decent amount of time to work with, etc. The camera looks like it hass been refurb, minor signs of use, almost like new.
Checked the current firmware on the card ... Ish.... 1.0.3 damn the cam is freaaking old...
I installed ML unified on an old cf card I had.
Whent to see how many shutter actuations: 2k.... What?? Cool!!!

Now today I'm going to get a card reader to install raw recording on a 16gb 1000x lexar.
My card reader built in a mpc1000 usb 1.1 just can't take something that big. It's long tedious and simply doesn't work

yes, my camera reads the card and i'm able to format it in the camera.  but when i plug the card/card reader into my mbp...nothing.  even when i look into the system profiler there's no card. when i look on disk utility, again...no card.

And if you plug the camera to your mbp with a usb cable?

I'm just thinking out loud....
Could it be possible to use the raw in dxo?
I got it with the film pack, i don't know if it could render that many image at the same time ?
But a movie developed like a polaroid or velvia would be, like sh*t

@ julian

my 550d now get up to 2496*1065 in crop mode...
i take the new raw.rec.mo from the 5d3 and replace it works without any problems..
you guys should try the same!

How many frames can you record at 2496*1065 before it stops?

I was lucky enaugh to get a 50d for quite cheap after the raw recording development.

My simple question is: can the 50d provide a clean hdmi output to record on an atomos ninja?
Not for raw recording, but for lime everything else.
I know about the audio.

Beware when editing in ACR or Lightroom, it can cause flickering when you use the shadows/highlight recovery sliders.

Even if you copy/paste the exact same settings to all of the dng's?

Well, i would be interested at some dng footage.
I realy love the fact (psychologic i'm sure it is) that i can grade in lightroom instead of vegas

I have a 50d on its way from south korea. It's going to be a long wait (2/3 weeks).
When i'll have it in hands i will of course test new build

By the way.
For the time lapse at the end of the video i used the same workflow as when working with dng for raw recording.
Import the raw file in lightroom
Develop at taste, i used a mask (the magic wand) in this one. The camera was steady so it was super easy to copy that to the other 223 frames.
Export them as jpg at 5mpx
In vegas the 5mpx were very usefull because i was able to make a vertical pan without degradation.

Voila

Please leave some feedback
Little video i made with magic lantern firmaware.
It wouldn't have been possible without it.
The zebra for the video was a of great help. My t3i doesn't show exposure on video mode with the samyang 8mm. Having zebras was a must. The crop mark for 2.35:1 also were of great help.
Time lapse was made with magic lantern, i have a grip that does it but it is lighter for traveling this way.

Enjoy, well i hope so

what do you mean by using h.264 for shallow DOF,can it not be achieved shooting raw?

Wondered the same thing. Dof doesn't realy cares about h.264

Edit instead of trolling: got it, you ment convenience vs beauty

First post on the forum
(I've been using ml for quite some times now. On a t3i. For video mainly, time lapse, zebra, long time exposure, etc)

I played with the dng and i'm realy impressed.
The workflow is a bit slower but for 30 minutes of works for 12 seconds, from downloading the dng's, to lightroom and finaly vegas. It's not that bad at all considering that i have to color grade anyway because i use cinestyle when doing some videos.

Of course no audio can be a little of a bummer for some. But hey, will you use this camera alone? I don't think so. Having 2 cams to work with is great anyway. I'm working on a videoclip right now and this new tool will be amazing!
The t3i to sync with pluraleyes and the 50d for filmic in between shots.... Yummy

If any of you whants to see what s**t i do lol :

From a personnal point of view and experience, saying you are "pro" when you are not won't help you. People better like to have the true. Saying "I'm no pro, I just shoot" got me better mileage.

Yeah the focus, specially in the wake-up and last scene are out. I was beyond the minimal focus distance. Maybe a monitor would have help, or at least working in a more safe way, getting higher mpixels and crop in post, would have do the trick.

If you want to see my firt 2 videos...
Went at the theater with the kids last week-end, and after 2 years I finally know in what remains I shot these. It's the upcoming movie "Zombie Love". Realy felt like post appocaliptic, plus the airport parking are not used any longer.

It's true that a lot of people say they are "pro" these days. Funny because from my experience, saying "I'm no pro, I just shoot" gets more attention. I think people like it more because you are not in the poser (I think it's the right expression) gang, but that you actualy do something even if you're nopro.

Yeah the focus could have better, specially in the wake-up scene and the last one. I was i little to near of the subject and it was at the minimal focus distance. maybe a monitor would have come handy?

Thanks for the kind words, really. That made my day.

As for the gears, after wasting an awful amount of time on forums I come to the conclusion that gears simply doesn't matters. Iknow people with fantastic studios that don't do much in them. I had, at some point, 3 times the music gear I currently have. Doesn't made my soul translate better in the music. Easier? a big maybe. More headaches? for sure.


"la cène" from Da Vinci is made from tempera.... freaking tempera!!!

What matters is what you represent with it, I think.

erm... let me look..


m4t 1080 24p, 340mb in size if it helps you get some other numbers i'm not aware of.
do you refer to the ghosting? I think it might be because at start it was 3 frames/image but in some cases I slow the footage to 80%-90% or something.

I don't know what to explain or say, so feel free for the comments or the questions.

I don't realy mind about gear and stuff but some people like to know 

Before you even think of clicking on the youtube thing:


The drop outs are ment to be there, the only thing is, I wanted to add them in post but they happened to be there. Any body got a clue a clue about how they happen?
I was using manual on a T3i, magic lantern for the magic zoom (a great way to make a follow on the shelf scene).
I made some light drop outs manualy by changing the aperture speed. but nothing more.

Is it because of the 1/1000-1/4000 speed vs the 60hz lights??

hope you enjoy
