First every shot is converted to DNG's and put in a separate AE file, because I do most of VFX there. While in the import stage of DNG's to AE, some settings are tweaked, to for example to bring up the shadows. Because many shots are similar, I normally create a profile in Camera RAW after I'm happy with the shot and apply it to the next "look-alike" shot.
After I get all the shots, each in a separate AE file (balanced and normalized to look alike), they all get rendered to a lower quality for editing purposes.
After all the shots are rendered to mp4's, they all are set to each respective AE clip file as a "proxy".
Those AE files are imported in Premiere for editing, where I do all the editing with the use of their dynamic link. This way I can do advance effects in AE, while cutting as I need in Premiere. Also because the original DNG's are linked to a proxy created, I can easily switch the quality of the video, while maintaining all effects.
After the cut and effects are made, everything goes to Speedgrade ,where all the color-grading happens, finishing off in Premiere.
Finally, I switch off the proxy and render the film using original DNG's.
I of course do preliminary renders using lower quality mp4's first.

Shot on 5D Mark III with ML Raw.

If you plan on using mirroring mode, go ahead and upgrade, however using ML's overlay goodness will probably be impossible due to scaling issues.

Zebras are showing correctly, however due to the scaling and position issue, which I posted some time ago: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=11915.msg115691#msg115691
Zebras as well as any other function like peaking etc. are offset and scaled down, thus are not correctly displayed on external monitor.

I get the same behaviour when connected via HDMI to external, it cuts of the sides and not showing the correct image as it does in LV.

Okay, now that I actually checked what's going on, it seems like ML overlays are not all wrong here.
The monitor is advertised as 16:9 ratio but in fact its specs states a native resolution of 1280×800, which is not 16:9 aspect and that's why I though ML messed up.
As you can see, the picture produced from the camera is not 16:9 1080p but ML's overlays are. So all ML info are outside the image I capture and those little bits that are seen to the right and to the left are there just for lolz.
Crop marks are also correct this is in fact 2.35:1.
The only thing ML masses up are it's right and left bounds. They should be fully extended to the edge, probably that's why it is possible to see the image to the right and left of the info display as it is not covered in black like in LiveView. That shouldn't be a very hard fix to implement?

Shot in 2 days, entirely in ML RAW.

"Force HDMI-VGA" didn't do anything at all, even when I restarted the device.. hmmm...
3:2 screen layout seems to work the best because 16:19 puts info bar lower, thus covering more of the picture

I got myself a new Lilliput monitor it's very light and high resolution, however it's not really possible to use it with ML.
See the picture below. It creates an ML video rectangle inside the "canons" video rectangle. So the crop-marks as well as its bounds are not correct and ML info is covering the video.

Maybe there are some setting that I need to adjust or something inside the monitor settings? Anyone experienced with their monitors? It think I tried the most.
For now the only option I see is using mirroring mode but then all the awesome features of ML are gone. This monitor can display focus peaking, histogram... and create its own crop-marks but would be nice if it was possible to get a full screen image with ML.

Should I then deactivate Digital ISO altogether?
And what ISO to use?

I've been looking through the wiki and it looks like the generally chosen ISO's are not the ones that are best with ML.
http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/ISO

So I'm using those: ISO 85 (100), 170 (200), 350 (400), 700 (800), 1400 (1600), 2800 (3200), because it says they would be the best, correct?

I'm using CineStyle profile to get the most flexibility with 23.976 FPS, 1080p RAW recording. I would like to know if there is anything to improve to get a better image or is this pretty much the best?

Thanks!
