how do use the new dng2raw (raw2dngOSX)?
i cant just drag and drop files any longer ?

hey,

the mac version of raw2dng appears a lot more sophisticated. it creates a folder with dng files as well as a video file (that gives a rough idea of footage) - why not the case with windows - no video file and just dumpes the individual dngs in the main folder?

Just uploaded a new video I did with my 60D - thought I share here! Shot in Sydney by the way.

hi,

if, lets say, i wanted to use the RAW functionality to shoot portraits and get more "in the moment" shots is there anything specifically that you guys would recommend keeping in mind?
Obivously it would just be for further experimentation - seeing if i can get some good in the moment expressions rather than the usual posed smiles. Found some really interesting shots when looking at DNG sequences as individual photographs. Obviously I will never be able to get the same sort of resolutions but still would like to try. Any specific advise that comes to mind? 

Thanks,
Dennis

Hi guys,

thank you so much for all your support!!! I've taken your hard work and did some hard work myself.
My first video with the 60D in raw:

Don't think its 1080 on default.

Hi, there are 2 Formats in AE which preserve the bitrate-
dpx and tiff, both with 16(!) bit

thanks dude!

the left bottom corner (blue sky) is flickering (distorted) in the first 3 seconds on youtube (does it throughout the whole video when played on my computer). note that it needs to be played in 720p and in fullscreen. where could this come from/how could it be resolved? it does the same thing even if i export as tiff image sequence and import into final cut proX.

AE reads Imagefiles.  So - you are good to import your DNGs right into AE.  Just select "image sequence" while importing. I would even leave lightroom out of this workflow actually..   At least that's how i do it.

Thanks for your quick reply.
What do you export as? Can you specify? I just don't want to lose quality during export.

hi,

i have been converting my raw files (shot on canon 60D) with raw2dng. From there I import to lightroom as DNG, edit, and export as DNG. To actually convert from dng to a movie file I'd like to import to After Effects and convert there. Does anyone know the specific workflow (DNG>best possible video format) within adobe after effects?

hi,

does the histogram (rgb) change at all when shooting raw? anything i need to watch out for?
feel like i have too strongly underexposed shots even though I did watch the histogram.
Edit: would be great if the histogram would adjust based on the chosen aspect ratio and thus show colours&exposure within the actual frame - rather than whole lcd screen

Thanks

hi,

just installed magic lantern for the first time today - new to it all.
OK the intial 60D raw autoexec & modules (update number one from may 24th) I can make work - essentially i can shoot raw now. However I've been trying to add the latest updated (#12) but for some reason it doesn't work if i follow the instructions (on page 1). Anything i need to do differently with the autoexec & modules of update #12 compared to update #1?

As for the error: I do get to 'Load Modules now' but when I press it says "Modules already loaded" however raw_rec stays off and so do the other modules. Any advice?

Regards,
Dennis
