Hey Chmee,

First, thank you for everything you've done. This program works great at converting my .MLV files. However, I got a question about chroma smoothing. What exactly does it do?

The reason I ask is because I had it on when converting some footage shot on a 5dm3. When I import into AE, some of the highlights are pink. Even with using VISIONlog. I could not for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the pink without damaging the image.

After a day of searching for information on both the Adobe and ML forums, I decided to convert my .MLV files again, this time without chroma smoothing on. Whaaalaa! All of the footage is properly displaying. No more pink highlights.

So what's going on? Can you put it in layman's terms on what's happening? I read somewhere that the pink highlights are from the wrong black levels? But those threads were years ago, not sure what's the most up-to-date info.

I'm using RAW2CDNG 1.7.4

Yikes... TBH with you I personally think it's ridiculously overpriced and Sandisk usually sell their 'name' regardless of its performance.

I've read a lot of threads with you raving about how good KB has treated you, but I just ordered 4 KB cards last week and 2 of them were duds from the get go. My first experience with them scared me enough to never want to try again. What's worse is KB charges a %15 restocking fee because I want a refund instead of a replacement.... so you know, that's fun to deal with.

Doesn't bother me paying for the peace in mind a more reputable name like Sandisk can provide because that cost will trickle down to clients. I'll post this weekend with the benchmark.

Thanks Jedi, I'm going to order the Sandisk 256GB from Amazon and test it out. http://amzn.com/B00FBSV9W4

Hello ML world,

I just joined this website to find the same answer the OP seeks. I've been using ML for the past 2-ish years on my T3i and just recently upgraded to the 5Dm3. After hours upon hours of scouring the internet to find the best card to shoot RAW footage, I've given up trying to find benchmark information on 256GB cards (that are not KB). I don't mind splurging for either a Sandisk or Lexar for extra reliability and safety.
