Is it possible for the program to import DNG file folders or Dual ISO DNG's? It would be great if you can implement this.

A dual iso shot from a hiking trip this past Sunday.

Regarding the bad colour in highlights: try disabling the stripe correction for those clips. That code path has a different highlight reconstruction approach which sometimes avoids this problem.

Will do.

It is just his personality. I thought he was rude before but he's just frank. But then again there are times where he can be a bit too much so I understand where you are coming from.

I remember I clarified to him one time that 72% NTSC color gamut covers 100% SRGB color gamut and he didn't respond back.

Anybody else have problems with pink highlights on the preview screen of MLVRAWVIEWER? It shows up after exporting to MOV as well. Using a 5D Mark III.

^^Nice shot!

Thanks. Did you just use MLVIEWER? Mind posting a snapshot of your MLVIEWER settings if you used that program with the LUTS? Enjoyed it.

Where did you get the koji/cinelog colors?

Looks like the files played back fine on my computer! Phew...

I am out in the field right now and recorded about 15 MLV clips. When I played back all of them using the MLV player in the camera only 13 played fine. Two of them load and show the "file ends prematurely" error. Does this mean both those files are corrupted or will they play back fine on computer? Bout to head home to see but wanted some input on the problem. I am using the August 2 nightly build for the 5D3 1.1.3 firmware. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm also getting an unrecognized file error in LR when importing MLV Mystic converted Dual ISO DNGS as well.

@Markus

So do you press the shutter button while recording RAW to fill up to 256GB without the stopbug?

Does the updated MLV Mystic use the CR2HDR20bit algo from Alex?

For some reason my Dual Iso 3X crop movie files would have alternating green and magenta tinted frames even when white balance was set the same for both frames. It is wierd. It doesn't happen when I shoot dual iso regular mode but aliasing is pretty bad. Wish there was a software that can get rid of dual iso aliasing. : (

@Limey I've been using it with AI servo as well at high shutter speeds and not noticing anything negative. Although I'm not really a pixel peeper.

@Danne Dual Iso is really great! Workflow is a breeze using the LR Dual Iso plugin. You have some great images as well using Dual Iso.

More dual iso shots from a wedding I did last week.

Loving dual iso as well!

So 16 bit RAW might be more possible in the future than 10 and 12 bit?

Gotta start working with the mlrawviewer and prores a bit more. I first did this dual iso sequence in after effects and acr and the time consuming workflow is such a tragedy compared to mlrawviewer.
This is a quick edit from the files coming from mlrawviewever.

So you did this with MLVRAW viewer? How did you did you export to prores with the dual iso files? Would't the file still be interlaced?

I've implemented a very experimental dual ISO conversion (I really prefer to think of it more as a preview). It's nowhere near the quality of cr2hdr and probably not all that useable for real work yet, but it's realtime...

Where can we try this out? Thanks for providing this to us.

You are right ayshih. I've noticed this in my dual ISO experiments with MLVFS. On my 60D whenever I shoot in crop mode the dual ISO lines alternate through...

I see. So it happens in crop mode (for Windows users)? I'll test tomorrow using dual iso in regular mode to see if I get same result when I was shooting crop mode.

Do you have the two original dng:s?

Yes I do. Uploading them now.

Here they are. It is weird because all the odd numbered frames  (1,3,5,7 and etc.) look the same when it comes to white balance) and all the even numbered (2,4,6,8) seem to match when it comes to white balance. Here are the two DNGs prior to Dual Iso conversion.

I presume you actually mean to say that you are syncing them all to have the same levels (i.e. the "--same-levels" option).  That is not the same as syncing the white balance.
I can't look at the DNGs right now, but a white-balance difference is definitely due to the differences in the AsShotNeutral tag, and setting the AsShotNeutral tag to the same values should make the white balance the same in the two DNGs.  So, something may be throwing off the default "graymax" white-balance calculation, although I don't know why it'd occur on alternating frames.  As a guess, are you shooting both dual ISO (alternating ISO between pairs of lines) *and* HDR (alternating ISO every other frame) at the same time?

No HDR was not turned on. Just dual iso and MLV.

Camera is a 5D Mark III. I used the CR2HDR20BIT algo through Magic Lantern RAW Video Converter 1.9.2 to process the MLV files to Dual Iso DNGs. Then when I opened up the DNGs in Lightroom, despite syncing them all to have the same white balance, each alternating DNG frame has a slightly different white balance. Here are two sample DNGs.
