Beautiful video's. Very good color grading!

5DMKIII FULL HD RAW + 50fps: did I miss something? 50 fps RAW? Is that for real?

What lenses did you use?

Great video. So much beautifull scenery in just 21 days.

Did you use any tools for supporting the camera?

Hi! Yes the trailer is just a teaser for the kickstarter campaign I'm doing so there is not really any story yet, it's just to give an atmosphere.

For the factory shots, and a couple of others, I used an x-cam sabre with a bit of stabilisation in post, (and lots of practice!) would definitely recommend it for travelling as it's very small and easily fits in a camera bag.

Thanks for your tip on the x-cam sabre. I will have a look into that model.

You are indeed the master of the stars. Very well done.

Beautiful shots.

It is not finished I think, I do miss the story...
#7
Nice shots.

Unfortunately YouTube is not yet 4K ready: video stutters a lot in 4K mode on YouTube on my PC.

Are the spots on your sensor or lens?

Well done. I like the contrast between the shots inside and outside: the outside shots are a little bleached and overlit.

One question remains: were are the other musicians? It would be great to see them too in some shots...
#9
Beautifull video of your muse, I would prefer some shots to be longer...

Sharp en well lit, thanks to good glass and your artwork...
#10
Nice timelaps video, the panning looks great at the crossing.
#11
Nice shots, good edit. For the color grading I would use less saturation and contrast: the blue in the skies looks unnatural to me. But apart from this one point of critisism: well done!
#12
Nice shots, relaxing.

The smal DOF is overdone I think...

Nice action shots. Would like to see these in color. Why use B&W here?

Share Your Videos / Spring in Holland

This is my first video in Raw on 5D2. It's a video from my surroundings in Holland during spring. I'm still learning, any comments appreciated  ;)

I don't think I can embed videos from Smugmug here so please click the URL to watch the video:

I have used mlrawviewer and Premiere Pro for editing. The music I created on my Korg Oasys keyboard.

Thanks to all those guys that are creating and improving ML! :D

Raw Video / Re: Choppy video on 5d mk11

First of all congrats on getting one of those new 5Dmk11 (or I guess as Canon calls them 5DmkXI), I'm still stuck on the 5D3 and I can only dream of the speed and performance that your model must get!

Secondly, I think your problem is the way you import your CDNG's into Premiere as stills. I don't think this is a good way to do it.

You really have two (maybe 3 options) with Premiere:

1. Convert the CDNG sequences to ProRes using either MLRawViewer or Davinci Resolve or AE.

2. Convert the .raw footage with RAWMagic and bring them into Premiere CC as CDNG sequences (not stills) but this will have a nasty pink overcast on your footage which is quite annoying.

3. Convert  the .raw footage with MLRAwViewer into CDNG and bring them into Premiere CC to enjoy an almost-but-not-quite perfect display of your footage.

Within about a month or so (hopefully) a new solution will come out that will display CDNG into Premiere CC perfectly, but if you don't want to wait, the above options are your best bet. Stay away with importing CDNG sequences as stills and re-timing their duration to match the frame rate...it will only result in crap.

I'm wondering when using MLRawViewer to convert MLV files it's preferable to convert to CDNG instead to convert to MOV?

Hi Guys!

I re-edited my Africa video. This time I did the color grading with Davinci Resolve. This is my first video using resolve, personally I think it looks much better! What do you guys think?



I know were off topic here  ;)

Hi Veerle,

You have got some nice footage there. What lenses have you used?

Some points to improve: get some environmental sound into your video and make it shorter: be really hard to yourself when selecting clips  ;D

Great work :D

Cheers, Frank

As I understand it, the bug was in Magic Lantern - not MlRawViewer. Sorry, but I don't know any of the details about the fix.

Hi baldand,

It's fixed: On Magic Lantern's Movie menu goto RAW (MLV) then go to the sub settings and find Fix black level turn it OFF

Thanks for your good work!  :D

@ elfrabo

Try this:

On Magic Lantern's Movie menu goto RAW (MLV) then go to the sub settings and find Fix black level turn it OFF

Then film something and see if you have the problem.

Great: this works!

Thanks mageye   :D

Don't judge the footage from the viewer, extract the dngs first and confirm them via after effects or resolve, or even open a frame in photoshop if thats actually the case.

Unfortunately the video quality is still looking bad after exporting  :( . Some examples (password is MLV):

I need a lot of time to correct these images using ARC or Premiere Pro

I'm new to using MLV. When using mlrawviewer the video looks very bad: colors are all washed out and sort of pinkish.

I'm currently using magiclantern-Nightly.2014Mar29.5D2212

baldand:
QuoteThe black level is wrong due to a bug in the version of mlv_rec you used, so those files would need to be manually fixed to be displayed or converted correctly.

You need to upgrade to a newer ML with correct black levels.

Should I use another build?

great to hear there is a bugfix  :D. I downloaded the version that is in the first post of this thread.

https://bitbucket.org/baldand/mlrawviewer/downloads/MlRawViewer_1_1_3_win32.zip

Where can I find a newer version?

For the record: I was able to correct the video using ACR but it was a lot of work!

And to be more complete on this, I used the latest night build:

It is preview.
Click "Export" (E key on keyboard or Red icon on left panel) to export to DNG and then look DNG :)
Also see issues about ACR color profiles:

During recording in the viewfinder it looks all right. I must be doing something very wrong  :o

Hi there,

I must be missing something completely here. I'm using MLV for the first time ever on a 5dII. When using mlrawviewer the video looks like crap: not sharp and colors are all washed out and sort of pinkish.

Please help: what am I doing wrong?

I've used the latest night build magiclantern-Nightly.2014Mar29.5D2212
and MlRawViewer 1.1.3

Cheers, Frank

Use the MLV Viewer to view .mlv & .raw files on windows and to extract DNG's,there is no need to use command line download link below
http://upload.g3gg0.de/pub_files/09852505c6c352fdaf7fe4eddec48788/MLVViewSharp.zip
If you go to the first page of this thread I have a posted video tutorial with MLV View Sharp in action.
Try the A.E. Premiere Pro work around, I did a short video tutorial, this way you work with the raw dng's directly in Premiere Pro without pink HI-lights.  link-->  http://vimeo.com/79705806
I also think you my have to upgrade your computer performance, Being A.E. love Ram and Lots of GPU.
With about 8000 frame 1872x936 23.976 It takes about 15-20 min to make a video file on my mac to ProRes4444 with my PC the time is about the same but there
I Use QT Blackmagic RGB codec with trillion's + color.--> download link http://software.blackmagicdesign.com/DesktopVideo/Blackmagic_Desktop_Video_Windows_10.0.zip
If you like using AVI's try the AJA pc windows Codec there are about the best out there for a digital intermediate.
A speed Tip for A.E. , before you render press the Cap Lock key, that disables the viewer in A.E. and give a lot more speed !
PC I run a 8 core AMD overclock to 4.7Ghz cpu, 16GB dual channel ram ssd OS drive, raid0 , 2x-gtx580 1.5 ram each = 3GB Vram
On the MAC side I run a Mid2010 MacPro with a PC GTX 760 graphics card etc..

Thanks a lot fot your suggestions, I will check them out next weekend
