Awesome!!! I need a couple of iterations of the script on my "footage" but it works out. Thank you!

Hey guys,

I made a timelapse the other day of a sunset:

https://vimeo.com/103387802

I used
- ETTR with 5% clipping, 15s slowest shutter
- deflicker Adobe XMP at the standard settings
- 30s Intervalometer

I realized two things:
1.) When reaching longer exposure times, the camera gets suuuuuuuuuper slow saving images. It was not done in time for the next image once exposure reached 10s or more which messed up the interval.
2.) There is a bit of flicker going on. Not as bad as I get when not using side files, but still.

I'd like a fix for both issues. Better deflicker settings maybe? What works for you guys???

And regarding the slowdown:
I am using a 600d with a speedy card (faster then the memory interface in there). I only reformat the card in camera to delete files.

Looking forward to your opinions

Hello,

due to the recent development in the Video-Raw section, I set my 600d to sRaw and by mistake shot the first half of my California vacation on one card in sRaw before noticing it.

I regret that now, since I cannot develop the files in Lightroom 4 and the Mac Preview does not open them either. They are shown as dimension 0x0 although other exif tags are working (lens, aperture etc.). The images are somehow ok however, since inserting the memory card into my camera gives me the opportunity to look through them in the play mode.

What can I do to safe them? I'd like them converted into DNG preferably but could not find any solution to do so.

Cheers!

Are they over 4GB? You need the linux raw2dng

no, not even close. They are all below 1 GB. I ran the mac gui-version, I guess I'll try the command line version.

Just gave the cam a good test and recorded a couple of files. Most of them worked and post-processing them is so much fun. However, some files were corrupt. raw2dng reported:

Error: This ain't a lv_rec RAW file

ls: *.dng: No such file or directory
Nothing converted

this happened for 2 out of 9 files. Settings were the same for all files:
640x480 mode, 1152x480 raw

Hope, this is the right thread for my observation:

With the latest raw module in EatLV.zip, i get corrupted frames every other frame.

frame 1 is perfect, frame 2 corrupted, frame 3 ok again ...

Did you put raw_rec module into the modules folder of the sd card? Works great on my 600D.

sure, and both lv_rec and raw_rec are loaded in the modules menu. However, I cannot set resolutions anywhere on my 600d. I updated to [600D] NewChannel.zip, still nothing. Weird...

On the 600d there is no Menu to set the resolution for me, yet people reported that was working before. I am a bit confused. Also, the buffer always fills first before writing the files to card, no co-recording while buffering.

I use the latest nightly build and the latest BeepsTwice.zip.

Is there more files required? I tried two different cards and the feature is not hidden in ML Menu either. Might be a bug.

Aaaaand.. 6D has 256MB shoot malloc not in LV.. has to be  a way to pull a 600D and increase... would get quite a few more pics.

Wow, it's getting there. If one can get it to record around 4s of 24 fps DNG Video (fps override active or not), the feature is powerful enough for ~95% of my applications. No more h264, I am super excited!!!

Can't wait to test it. Those 5 downloads, are the all for the Raw-feature and different (=updated) versions or also unrelated hacks? The filenames are a bit confusing and hint in another direction i.e. different features.

Bookmarked! The version with the increased frame number is easy cut?

Noted. Where can I get these? Last time, a user pointed me towards a download location but I could not find any general link to the latest files. I'd like to help development by testing.

67 frames now in 720P24 so new memory changes are good...

getting there, awesome! Do I need the new nightly build for that or just the new extra file?

Awesome! I'll patiently await this feature then. So far, I am psyched: This is huge and I am even starting to like my 600d again as a video camera.

I forgot: Using Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 the white balance could be fixed. I had quite a bit of purple, but the fix was easy so I do not mind at all.

And: With the nightly and the raw add-on can I still format the card in camera? I haven't tried that yet since I did not want to corrupt the card.

I tested the feature in the weekend on my 600d. I used different settings an am amazed by the quality.

At the moment, the camera fills the buffer and writes to card after the burst is completed i.e. the buffer is full. So no matter how fast the SC-Dard in the camera is, you always get a constant frame number depending on the settings chosen initially. I used two fast San Disk SDHC cards (Extreme II and Extereme HD) as well as a very slow 512 MB SD card. The results are the same.

Is there a way to write from the buffer to the card while filling it in parallel? This should squeeze some more frames out. I'll take even 10 more frames And for time lapse photography, that should be the way to go.

I also used 12 fps and tried to double that in after effects by frame interpolation. Sometimes, that works but not for fast movement. It looks super-weird then...

For the silent pictures, I've got the best results in 720p 60 fps mode with "FPS override" set to 10, 24 or 30 fps and the picture size set to "sRAW" inside the ML menu.

Thanks for your hints. Installation worked, i like the new layout over the stable 2.3. So far I am happy. Two follow-up questions:

a) Where exactly is the sRAW setting in ML? I have the latest nightly installed and went through every option but cannot find it.
b) Do you use the silent picture workflow in continuous setting to shoot raw? I tried and it only records 422 files, no dngs.

Wow! I am excited about the feature, the footage looks amazing! This is HUGE!

I downloaded the nightly build and will test the feature on my 600d in the weekend. I briefly tried it yesterday night but the camera recorded 422 files in burst mode. However, one user here mentioned the 600d so I was wondering how to set it up (which settings to choose) to get the raw recording going.

Cheers!

Wow, you guys rock! This is amazing! I hope this is also going to work on my 600d and I will keep my fingers crossed for a 25 fps version RAW DNG recording solution. Maybe I do not need to buy the blackmagic pocket cinema camera after all...

I'll keep this development under close observation.

Hi,

your result looks awesome. I shoot the sun set in the pacific yesterday using bulb ramping on a 600d and ML 2.3. Right after the sun set exposure changed drastically and the frame afterwards is highly overexposed.

So, I'd like to apply the deflicker to jpegs or tiffs since I use Adobe Camera Raw to Develop my files. I like the effect, the clarity regulator has on the look, so i need either to change the original raw files without outputting jpeg or apply deflickering afterwards.

Can this be done?

Cheers!
