Just as predicted, the BMPCC is shipping without raw

Oh boy...all my prayers useless.

What I find very frustrating when it comes to RAW video recording on 50D is the lack of information from ML developers about the most basic things - where to start, how does it work, which camera settings to use.

It can be frustrating when jumping into technical details, i agree. But there is a really good strating point for basic explanation of functionality on this site: http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/userguide
It helped me a lot.

Tragic Lantern is developed by 1% and it's all of the above plus camera-specific enhancements and additional functionality for the 50D (and 6D, EOS-M, 600D).

The latest Tragic Lantern builds have ADTG shutter control which basically makes the shutter behave itself better than it did, Reslock (currently being tested) and also additional settings for raw video (delayed start, auto-Global Draw OFF etc) and a lot of other clever bit's and pieces

Many, many thanks for that explanation.

Andy has explained the difference 3 or 4 times by now. Why don't you look up his earlier posts?

NOT very helpful.
Did you try a search on this topic? It's a trillion results. If you know where an explanation may be found, please just be so kind and give a more specific localization. Your answer doesn't even give a hint if it's inside the 104 pages of this topic after all. It's like kindly asking for someone's number and hearing "it's in the yellow pages".
Any real help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: Andy, perhaps it might be a good idea to include a TXT file inside your tragic lantern bin. :-)

Latest builds for the 50D

Tragic - https://bitbucket.org/andy600/tl50d/downloads

Andy, could you please explain the difference between Magic & Tragic?
Thanks alot!

I remember some time ago someone posted a link to a guide/tutorial for RAW video on 50D, but I can't find it. Could anyone please repost it? It should probably go to the first post on this thread - it became so long, that for someone in my situation (about to start using 50D for RAW video) it will appear overwhelming.

Thanks!

I think you are referring to Andy who is still writing a tutorial on this subject. However EOSHD.com released a tutorial on the 50D shooting RAW, it can be found here http://www.eoshd.com/the-eoshd-50d-raw-shooters-guide but it will cost a lot.

When I shoot some of my video, say in front of a green screen with steady lighting... my subjects are somewhat 'blinking'.  The light is flashing like it's doing automatic quick exposure.  How can I fix this?

Sounds as if you have the "HDR Video" function switched on. In this mode, the camera will bracket every sequence in different exposure settings, giving you a "flickery" result. See if it's turned on and switch it off to return to normal exposing.

I hope that helps a little bit mate!

Much more than you might think!
Thanks alot for the details!

Hey jhnkng, thanks for the description!
I come from the world of photography and i'm a bloody noob regarding film, so i've a couple of questions:

• What exactly is the advantage of converting the sequence to Prores 422?
• Which tools take a benefit of prores 422 instead of using a raw-sequence?
• And what do you mean exactly with "get a super flat file"...do you mean flat in terms of flatten the color & contrast or flat in terms of file size?

Thanks for an answer,
Gekko

Will not go into detail here more, as I'm not sure if a lot of people will find this usefull...
The app is here...

rommex, please don't get me wrong.
I see a very hard-working community here and read all about the progress regarding the 50D with great pleasure. There are tons of people developing the firmware and it's simply unbelievable what came out so far. And this all because these people work for all of us, taking no money for it and releasing it free of any copyright. ML is absolutely free. But here's the issue that makes me concerned. Without ML, especially the 50D would not be of ANY interest to anyone of us anymore. And i can't believe, that the guys at EOSHD.com don't hesitate to make MONEY with it. Although the progress in developing ML is not made by them, they try to earn money with it.

And so are you. Please, by any means: PLEASE stop trying to make money with this FREE work and respect the hard efforts the developers give even YOU as a GIFT. Try to merchandize and sell your products anywhere. But PLEASE don't do it in this forums. Thank you for your understanding.
