Playing around with cropmode in the latest Tragic Lantern August 27 build and a Canon EF 800mm f/5.6 lens.

Hokie123, I get the same error after I've formatted the card in the camera (ML reinstalls after the in camera format if you followed all the steps found throughout this forum in preparing the CF card.)  I might be wrong, but the simple fix is to drop in a scripts empty folder in the ML directory.

I haven't noticed any issues by having the error to date.

Ah, makes sense.  Going to install the latest build and use Resolve going forward.  Just experimenting at this stage but love what the 50D can do, even at this early stage.

Also, the magenta frames seem to only happen when I use an external monitor.  You can see the magenta blip when recording and usually get 1 to 5 during a 30-second clip.  I'm using a SmallHD 7" HDMI monitor.

Second test video. First using the 08June13 build.  Still experiencing a lot of magenta frames (1-5 per 30 second shots) and a lot more "flickering" as in jumping aperture.  Average write speed was 57mbps and had no issues with the buffer (usually 1 star, maybe 2 stars) and could record without filling up the buffer.

Used a Lexar 64gb 1000X card, Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 taking lens and Moller Bolex 1.5x anamorphic lens.  Shot on a gloomy windy day, mid afternoon.

Workflow RAW>RAWMagic>Photoshop>Quicktime>Final Cut 7 (export from QT at 1280x720 then scaled to 640x480 with -33% for anamorphic)

Recorded at 1584x892 at 1600 using all of the forum suggestions.

You might notice in some of the clips (https://vimeo.com/67965891) a slight jump, which looks similar to a dropped frame. 

I didn't notice the magenta blips in the camera display, but when hooked up to a SmallHD HDMI external monitor, I saw the attached frames.  Not consistent and sometimes 1, but usually not more than 3 in a 30-second span.

Happened with both 16:9 at 1600 using all the recommended settings as well as 3:2 at 1600.  Pretty consistent and roughly 90% of my RAW files have them.

Using the May 28 build and the settings recommended throughout this post, I did a test run and posted the video on Vimeo.  I have a Lexar 64Gb 1000X card and was able to record at 16:9 at 57mbps without filling the buffer but had issues at 3:2 at 71mbps and couldn't achieve more than 450 frames before stopping.

I used an external SmallHD monitor via HDMI and had weird intermittent frame garbage.  I'll post a DNG of the weird magenta blown frame.  Happened in both 16:9 and 3:2.

Workflow was RAW>raw2dng>Photoshop RAW>TIFF>Quicktime>FinalCut 7. 

Shot with a Moller Bolex 1.5x anamorphic lens and Zeiss 80mm f/2.8.
