When i use the script (which seems to work just fine..) i always see these messages popping up in cmd.exe , can someone explain what this is and if i should change something?
enfuse: warning: no usable resolution found in the first image "frames\A.......jpg";
enfuse: warning: will use 300 dpi
Am i not getting maximum results at the moment? or are these no problems and is everything working fine as it seems to?

One more question, how do i get the script to write and work with tif files? I assume this would up the quality compared to jpg's, or am i wrong?
I edited '.jpg' to '.tif' in in all the script files, but i get a error that .tif is an unsupported format..is it really unsupported? i read a post on this forum before that said it was possible to change from .jpg to .tif...

Thanks for your replies guys, appreciated!

ah ok i see, so its similar to the hdr workflow using avisynth and virtualdub, but mac-workflow?

hi all,

ive been recording HDR for quite some time with ML, now wanna see if i can get into RAW recording. Some of these question may be beginner/dumb, my apologies.

- I have a 30 mbps card, 16gb. Would this card be sufficient to record in raw? the recording resolution should be big enough to be able to upscale to 1280x720.

- How long would i be able to record on a 16GB card, on the highest resolution possible with the combination of a 600D and a 30mbps card?

- On youtube i see RAW-HDR footage as well, are they just yapping or is it really possible to shoot in Raw And HDR at the same time? (also with 600D?)

- How is the noise performance when you compare RAW video to the standard HDR footage from ML? This is the whole reason why i would like to get into RAW video, i shoot a lot of indoor HDR video and the noise is killing me, especially when i am forced to use iso1600 due to poor lighting.


Hope you can clear this up for me, thanks!

btw DeafEye, i see you are referring to RAW hdr, at least i assume since i see cr2 hdr in the post.. i am not shooting raw hdr i think, it comes out of my camera as a normal .mov file. Is it possible to shoot raw hdr on a canon 600d? that would be cool to experiment with, i am assuming it will crank down the noise in higher (800/1600) iso ranges a lot?

@DeafEyeJedi
Yeah but the AE workflow does take more manual labor.  And yeah my editing computer is windows, got a Macbook Pro too but that is sorta slow for editing video.

@glubber
Correct, thats the workflow i was referring to.
Yeah, it was on 25fps indeed..

I was now just testing what would happen if i shot 1080P 30fps footage and ran it through the hdr workflow to be 25fps final video, actually looks pretty good to me.. or are my eyes misleading me or am i missing something? Is it important to keep the fps correct in Avisynth, and if so, should it be (if originally shot at 60fps) 30, or 60fps filled in here?

Here's the thing: I'm working with a 600D and when i shoot indoor HDR video i am sometimes forced to use iso1600, which looks completely terrible, noise all over.

I used to always work with 60fps when doing HDR, on a 120th shutter. But since the noise is so extreme on 1600iso i thought i should try it on 30fps with a 60th shutter to save some light. 60fps with a 60th shutter is not really recommended, is it?


Thanks in advance for your help guys, appreciate it

Hi there,

I was testing the Avisynth vs the After Effects workflow of converting the flicker-HDR-video to useful footage, and found that the video that came out of Avisynth has a different length than the one that came out of After Effects.

Details:
Original video length was 8 seconds. The video I got out of After Effects using the After Effects workflow was 8 seconds as well. The video i got out of Avisynth was 17 seconds. Using a Canon 600D, Magic Lantern 2.3. Video was shot at 59.94fps, after converting 29.97 fps.
I use this workflow in After Effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdtLZUS92Vw  (skipped the twixtor part since I recorded at 60fps and 30fps is fine by me.)

Why is the video doubled in length after using the Avisynth HDR workflow? Does it render in extra frames? Or does it first, instead of overlapping the light&dark frames one-on-one, copy a light frame over each dark frame, and a dark one over each light one >> making it double the length like that?

Im just curious. So far it seems the Avisynth method is less time consuming, but what do you guys think is the method to get the best quality?
