Both of you deserve a warning for replies #4.3, #5 and #6.

@ifleeter: Midphase's advice was correct, you should not shoot important stuff until you don't know your tools well.

FYI: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#not_losing

I just took a risk. I don't see anything wrong with that. My risk resulted in an error and I was wondering if there was a fix. I don't see the need of someone telling me I shouldn't do something. I didn't blame magic lantern or anyone, I blamed myself. So please explain to me exactly what I did wrong by asking if there was a fix to my problem? And how I'm on the same level as Midphase here.

Thank you.

@iamanidiot Glad I could help!

346 posts nice!!

Appreciate the feedback, these specific car mount shots were shot with a 50mm.

The trailer to my senior year thesis film. Shot with the Canon 5D mark 3 RAW Hack and Canon Primes. Shot in Buffalo, NY with the help of Hilbert College Communication Club and Chris Santucci. This was almost all of the crews first short film.

Synopsis: A thousand dollar reward for a stolen jacket, entices two college drop-outs to hold a religious comedian for ransom.

Genre: Dark-Crime-Comedy

Enjoy!

@Walter Schulz Unfortunately we continued to use that card, so we won't be able to use that method. Thanks for the help though!

@baldand What do you mean by "in case you get something out" Like if I were able to recover the files using Walter's technique? I'd appreciate it if you may further expand on the details. Thanks!

@Midphase I so kindly thank you for your help. I really got a lot from your comment. I mean, if anything it added to your post count! Congratulations you now have another meaningless worthless post.

During a shoot, before I knew what I was doing with RAW. I deleted the .R00 files thinking they weren't needed. I tried to use a similar .R00 file from another shot and merge it to the RAW file that has a missing .R00 file, but that didn't work. Doing that made the two different shots combine. If any developer could help me out that'd be great. The shots are very important and I'm willing to pay for services. There are no pink frames, the video just cuts out because it was a long take and the .R00 file is gone.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. There more than likely is no fix possible but crossing my fingers and hoping there is.

Thanks Renato, appreciate it!

Shot this mini-doc/promotional piece in the thousand islands for Scott Ouderkirk Studios.

@zach915m Instead of using 0xED(MAC) or HXD (PC) to combine .RAW with .R00 etc.. use command prompt (PC) or Terminal (MAC)

Command Prompt Code: copy /b "F:M18-0340.RAW"+"F:M18-0340.R00" "F:M18-0340-merged.RAW"

Terminal Code: cat M18-0340.RAW M18-0340.R00 > M18-0340-merged.RAW

***(Change code to match your information.)***
Hope this help.

@lapoic Why didn't you just use terminal to merge the files on your mac using the cat command?

Is there anyway you could send me your original .RAW file so I could work on it? just give me the 4GB one to work on for now, if you have gmail use googledrive and share it with me, my email is [email protected]

Don't replace the Hex. I did that at first too, it was confusing because it does say "replace file footer" But adding it to the end of the Hex is what you do.

Hope this works for you.

EDIT* I would use this method on the merged file you created in Terminal. Just create your own code for your file size and paste it at the end of the HEX. Don't replace it.

I followed this workflow.

I could not salvage my frames. Can someone please help? My best shot was on that file. All the frames come out pink except the first.

I have two files, a .RAW (4.29 GB) and a .R00 (2.73 GB). Both are spitting out pink frames through RawMagic.

I used Hex Fiend as for some reason with 0xED I am unable to copy paste 2.73 GB of data onto the clipboard. I'm using a MAC.

@adityakapur

Use the program called terminal. It is the equivalent to command prompt for windows. Use terminal to merge the .RAW file with the .R00 file using this code "cat Blah.RAW Blah.R00 > Blah-Merge.RAW" Terminal should already be installed on your Mac. Replace "Blah" with whatever the file names are. Also, don't use the " in the code. This should work like a charm and merge your files. Once they are merged it should run through any RAW to DNG converter. If not replace the file footer using @pedrosuarez method by creating your own footer.

This thread was very, very helpful to me. Thank you all!

I recently just shot four 12hr days with the 5d mark 3 ML hack. We used it to shoot a student short film. Going into it I really had no idea how to work everything with the hack, so it was a major learning process for the crew and I. Many of which have never even shot a short narrative. We had an amazing DP who does a lot of professional work, helping us out at a lower than normal charge.

Well the first day we shot everything and it went great. Day two came around and while we were prepping for it I came across this thread. I was reading about the combining of the .R00 files. Immediately I'm like F**K! I told the DIT that those extra .R00 files weren't needed. Day one being an intense dialogue driven day, shitty for us losing all that extra footage. Now who knows how much of the stuff was cut. And all those files that stop at 4gb are corrupt as well. They won't open in any Raw2Dng converter Mac or Windows.

So, I read the thread about replacing the file footer, seems easy, I do it and yes! Now the files are converting to Dng's. Once they finished I opened them in Photoshop and they are all pink crazy dng's. FML. All that footage ruined. I come back to this thread and follow the instructions and do the math and create my own footer.

I save the .RAW file as a copy and run this copy with replaced footer through the RAW2DNG converter. It says it is going to convert over 17,000 frames for 4GB of footage. FML. I know that's not right. So I give a rough estimate and stop it at 1200 frames. When I open the DNG's the pink stuff is all gone and there is my footage! I was beyond happy. I did many more converts like this and kept cutting it off at around 1200 frames. I started to notice that the Pink noise comes back in at exactly frame number 1182 every time.

I'm not good at any of this hex code stuff so using this workflow is fine with me, I just have to cut every corrupt file off at around 1200 frames using the above footer. When using the exact 4gb corrupt file footer from the "How to replace file footer thread" it gives me pink frames but when I use the footer above it creates perfect frames. I'm not sure why this is but I know that footer above works if anyone is having trouble or deleted the .R00 files on accident and still want to use the 3.99Gb file.

Here are some stills from the student film we shot. Thanks to Magic Lantern and everyone working on this! It has been awesome to get to learn and use this Hack.

RAW No CC straight from camera, Film Grain Added.

@RenatoPhoto Thank you for the suggestions, I will begin to do so. Also, thanks for link! Sounds exactly like my issue.

@a1ex Thanks for the tip, I'll look into that as well.

This is just want I wanted, some discussion on the issue. I understand that people come into forums and expect everything handed to them. So I understand why I was replied to like I was. I was just looking for some good ol informal productive discussion, because by all means I am not a programmer and don't even want to pretend I am. That stuff is over my head.

Thanks again for the help I'm going to look into it all.

Oh, we know what that is. But you need to read this first: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

So, I'm guessing you guys thought I was asking for help and for you to solve everything for me. So I didn't have to read. But If you read what I posted "Not sure where to post this. I have converted my raw files with the raw2dng converter and the first frame is great but then all the rest have this Pink banding." I didn't ask for any help at all. I was just posting to get discussion about what I had came across. I didn't know that I had to be super to the point in what I was saying. Next time I will be straight forward and add "Any Ideas?" or "What do you guys think?" I just thought that was common knowledge (especially to a group of people who are smart and breaking new ground with these DSLR's) that I just wanted to talk about it. I mean that's what this forum is right? Discussion about magic Lantern? And then even more to the point to this thread, discussion about "RAW Video Post processing [Mac/Win/Linux]"

So, I sincerely apologize. Which means I'm sorry for posting in your thread and not being able to further your discussion. I shouldn't of posted because my rhetorical statement was unnecessary and highly illogical.

My second attempt at forming a logical statement that has a question that can be further discussed in a logical informing manner.

Question: 1 (Attempt 2)

Hey guys!

I'm new here! I have very little posts. I really enjoy learning new things and I've been looking into this and reading about it here, in these forums! I did a search of the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for.

So, according to the forum rules. I may ask the question in the thread specified. This just so happens to be that thread! 

When working with Magic Lantern I have came across something rather odd, to me at least. Using the file footer replacement thread i replaced my file footer. I then have converted my raw files with the raw2dng converter and the first frame is great but then all the rest have this Pink banding.

I would very much like to discuss this in an informing way. I don't want you to solve it for me, I just want to talk about it and learn if other people have came across this same issue.

:End Question:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

So, I'm gathering no one has a clue what this is. That's all I wanted to know. Alright, thanks! 

Not sure where to post this. I have converted my raw files with the raw2dng converter and the first frame is great but then all the rest have this Pink banding.

My RAW file wouldn't work in the RAW2DNG.exe so I downloaded HxD and put the numbers in the footer. My RAW file now converts to DNG but after the first frame all the rest have Pink in them.
