I wonder how one uses it on set... when it comes to viewing the previous shots... I want to shoot raw on my next short film but I still can't figure out the best way to save time

Tried the 1/20 build and raw2dng is unable to read the raw? tried rawanizer and it couldn't extract DNG files as well... not sure what i did wrong...

EDIT: I figured out.. in rawanizer, if I click Add Timestamp, it can't work on the raw files ...lol ..so I removed the timestamp and it worked! sorry for the false alarm.. i don't know why raw2dng doesn't work though... oh well

Now I can get 2k continuous.  2048 @ 24fps  1:35

.. in zoom mode?

Live preview gets disabled when I try to shoot raw. It's just blank/black. I got 5D3 and 7D with Nexus 7.

As far as I can see some of you guys are able to shoot raw vid with LP on dslr controller. Any tips around this?

P.S. I'm sure it's not about cables because LP worked as soon as I disabled raw_rec/mlv_rec.

By the way same happens with ML controller app so it should be ml related bug

I got the same problem, have you found a way to get it to work?

I recently used the DSLRController android app for monitoring and remote control and realized it doesn't work with Raw module on... took out the card and it worked... is it because the LV ? does anyone get it to work with raw recording?

wow

Awesome looking short... very good job!

Ciao, Walter

Sir, you ROCK!

Thank you!

Any one got the 10-13-2013 build link handy? I've been searching around and couldn't find it... I might have missed it with a lot of scrolling up and down...

Thank you so much!

Confirmed that DIGIC PEAKING is causing freeze at end of H264 recording.
With Digic Peaking OFF no more H264 record end freeze.

What build are you using? I'm using the 9.29 (with FPS override) and my DIGIC Peaking is not on, when I disabled the raw video, my H264 recording still froze the camera when stopping... Any idea?

Well, Raw video isn't official yet since it's still in development... and still in "alpha"... that's why you can't find it on official ML chart.
So far, it's just based on different tests varies on different card...

Here's one of the test result from one of the users... but you'll get the idea of what resolution 7D raw would allow you to continuously record so you can do long takes... and what resolution you want but have to deal with short takes due to short recording...

Install raw component and buy a fast card and test it in your own setting and see what works best for you and your production!
Since it's still in alpha, there will be some issues but for the most part, it will record some fine footage!!!

Hey guys. I made some research (in fact, quite a lot) and came to conclusion that the 7D is the best way to film raw if you can't afford a Mark II or III.
Problem is, the official ML chart doesn't say how much time the 7D can film continuously (I mean, what's the longest take you can make ?) and I've heard different versions. Some say less than 10 seconds, other 1 minute.
So, anyone to confirm how it really works ?
Also, if it has any problems while filming raw ?
Thanks in advance...

+1... Drastic player is an awesome player!!!

When I needed to review the clips, I just used the Drastic player on my notebook - in location, no conversion needed.

For starter, all you need is to read the 1st thread of this topic...

Here's the latest test build:

I don't think dual ISO in video for 7D works just yet though.

Dear community,

Situation 1:
I own a 7D.

Situation 1.2:
I have read nine thousand posts online on how to get raw video and dual iso for my 7D. Joke, I have probably read 9.

Objective 1:
I want raw video and dual iso for my 7D.

Objective 1.2:
I want raw video and dual iso for my 7D without having to read through 57 posts x 5 different threads dated from November 2012 - October 2013 in order to get it.

Disclaimer 1:
I am what you would call a newbie.

Disclaimer 1.2:
I am not as arrogant as this post mistakenly may be perceived.

Thanks to everyone who can give me a straight answer.

Sincerely,

Strange, but using mlv2dng from this topic http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7802.0 gives me an error...

That's what I use too... I noticed that if I tried with a 'prefix', it crashed...so I ended up with 00000.dng file and so on... also, I read that once a while it crashes but if it'd work on the 2nd retry ...

win or mac?

I use win version

Sorry sir, but what is this and can you give us more information please? Thanks

I believe he referred to this one:

Hi. Can someone advise how to merge .mlv files into 1 footage? Mlv2dng cant procedd them(. Thanks.

The latest mlv2dng does merge them... I do it all the time!!!

UPDATE: actually I don't think it'd merge them in the end (maybe in the background) but it can process those split files and generates DNGs

I love the 9.29 build... better looking menu, recording is more smooth... no longer need to manual turn on FPS by updating the firmware... sweet!
Thank you... now I need to go out and shoot something

Excuse me for being a noob, but what is the difference between normal raw-rec and the MLV module? Not quite sure what pro's and con's of each of them are.

They're pretty much the same. MLV can store more other info and is a new format but some has shown that it was written a bit faster than RAW too, but yeah for the most part, they're pretty much the same.

I've been unable to make use of "prefix". Everytime I tried, it just crashed. I'm using Windows version on win8 64bit.
It worked fine without "prefix" but I'd like to have prefix on the DNGs filename instead of just "numbers".

I tried many times after it crashed and it still works. Without the "prefix" sometimes it crashed but it worked after a retry.

Any one could help me out?
Thanks.

Turn on sync beep in the module. Make sure beep is on in the camera.

How does it work? I'm fairly new at this

So for .MLV we could set more info on the header of the file... how does one do that? I don't see any option in the ML menu... then another question is, what software is going to utilize those info? would it be stored in the DNG somewhere? sorry if its been asked and answered before...

did you use a slider? or digital slow zoom

Very nice video!

I like the grading too... dreamy... fits the video! sometimes, low contrast look just works, purely artistic reason!
You got skill my friend!

Beautiful video!
