@Viente - Congrats on making your first music video dude! I know from experience that it's a bit scary putting something out there but you did good! I get where you're coming from with it and there are some great ideas and shots there. I agree with earlier comments about the flow of the piece but also there are no rules when it comes to creativity so do your own thing. You'll never please everyone but it's cool to see you pushing forward and making something rather than getting stuck in endless test shots (like some of us  ). I know that you understand the market you're aiming at and I'd say this fits. Keep it up mate!!

Thanks mate! (And all other fellow 50d users out there!). I wouldn't call this music video, im too far away from doing it lol Just a little promo video to make watching a track on YouTube a little bit interesting. I realize i know so little about professional things of serious shooting but it was fun and i'll keep learning as much as i can to keep progress! Looking forward to see something cool from you as well soon

Well i'm not professional at all. I do other things (music). But i love filiming as well and everything i do, i try to do my best. It was the first experience in shooting and there is a lot of things i did wrong i know. It was posted just to show my experience with Canon 50D RAW module. If it looks stupid for someone, well ok then But at least i can be honest with myself that i completed the project and it was a lot of hard work for me (shooting, editing, color grading etc). Cheers!

Thx for all your feedback guys, but please not offence each other

Stay positive

no offense
it looks stupid to me)

Thx for comment!
Exuse me for OT but what exactly is stupid?

Its my first experience in shooting, so i appreaciate any feedback.

Here is the little music/promo/teaser video i'v made with 50D RAW...this was the first experience and i think i can't go back to H264 mode ever!

Hi guys,

here´s my comparison between ACR and Resolve.
Natural grade in ACR and extrem greenish day for night something in resolve...

Great shots! What lenses did you use? Also did you shoot in crop mode? I can't see any strong aliasing there...

But raw_rec module crops the live view

With global draw on in the module menu?

Tried, seem to work if I didn't turn off GD while recording.

sorry! my bad... 

1%, with your latest build cropmarks not workng while recording, only works in standby mode

As far as i know DNG is RGB color space which doesnt have color subsampling related to YUV

No, i've just reset all settings and tried again. The same thing.
Not a big deal actually, just want to report as much as i can 

May be possible to cache hack away the picture style step.. but I don't think it will help make it any more raw_like.

You mean the very last frame? Its supposed to cut that off? Or it cuts off 1 and the one before that is corrupted?

Yes, the very last frame
This is what i've got

1%, the last frame of the footage appears corrupted on your latest build here...Plase let me know if you need more info.

Andy, with your build i have to take the battery off every time after i switch off the camera in order to make it working again...
Just want to let you know 

Is it possible to move record & buffer information a bit higher so it won't overlap recording image? 

Awesome job! Got 200 frames in 1920x on 50D in crop mode, was about 70 before.

Please guys, bring back full width for 1:1 mode I had no problems with that. And since we have to upscale the footage every pixel is important! And with smaller width i have to worry about correct framing.

1%, i can shoot only in 1536 instead of 1584 with your build, is there is something wrong i do?   

I think maybe some kind of petition will push Mosaic Engineering to develop AA filter for 50D?

I wonder if there is anti aliaisng filter from other canon models which fits to 50D? Maybe from 7d or 60d? Does anybody knows?

I've read that for better upscale results we shoud use 4:4:4 format (as pretty much obvious since we have more unique pixels). So what is the best encoder to use for this? Let's say we need to keep 14 bit and 4:4:4 subsampling at the same time?

I've sold 600D for about 500USD and got 50D for 300USD and never regret about this

@Ifani the 1000x isn't 'as slow as the 600x' it's actually slower

@Viente - Hey man, you got the 50d now?  As for the Silicon Power CF's I have no idea but from my research you need to buy 32GB and up if you're getting a 1000x speed card (although 128GB cards can be slow as is the case with the Komputerbay cards). 16GB 600x speed cards are generally faster than 1000x 16GB cards but they are not all the same. I had a Kingston 600x and it was a lot slower than my Transcend 16GB 600x. I checked both cards for alignment and both were ok but later discovered that the Kingston isn't using DMA (apparently) which would explain things.

Here are some benchmarks for (upto) 600x cards I found: http://en.gomemory.net/index.php?page=cf

Yeah couldn't resist Found a very hard used body with a lot of scratches and scars, but very cheap (about 300 USD). I called Canon and they can replace the case for about 150 USD which is not bad.

Not so many options to buy fast CF cards in local stores without pre ordering. I'll try that Silicon Power and post my results tomorrow.

Sorry for OT but is it necessary to upscale 1584x892 to 1920x1080 for Vimeo if you don't have Pro account. I guess it will downscale to 720p back...

Would be nice to have an option to uncheck thumbnail creation. Thanks
