Canon told me it is what it is, and B&H told me unfortunately they had no idea how to fix it

Anyone have any idea why it crops like this on my 5d mark iii? It doesn't fill the screen on a computer screen, hdtv or projector. Anyone see this before?

This app actually does an incredible job of reproducing the image I see in my cameras LCD. I've always used MLVFS in the past, ran it into davinci and exported prores 422 and for whatever reason, the image renders a few stops darker than what's actually on my LCD (without changing any settings). Then when I would bring the exposure back up, a TON of noise and red lines from the ISO would show up. It's always been a battle finding a good middle ground of how to properly expose. In general I always like to over expose a stop or two to eliminate as much noise as possible and ACR's highlight and clarity function have saved me on numerous occasions. Having those functions in the MLV App would be incredible for the flexibility alone. This is a recent test I did with hardly any light at all at 400ISO with my Mark III using the MLV App. I wanted to test out the flexibility of the White Balance in the MLV App in low light and I wanted to see how well I could get rid of noise in the shadow areas in the MLV App. Here it is below..there is no noise reduction on the clip.

I'm using the QT MLV.App.v0.13.alpha.OSX on a Macbook air OSX El Capitan Version 10.11.6. (Idk if that matters). I've used the app a couple of times now and half the time it's been great, however the other half it's been quitting unexpectedly right when I go to "Export Selected Clips". I played around with it a ton tonight and I can't find any consistency as to why it's closing out. The only thing that's consistent is that it quits unexpectedly right as I click "Export Selected clips".

A couple other minor suggestions I have are
1. When going to save the project, I have to retype the project name in every time I save it to overwrite the project. Is there a way to streamline that and have it populate when I go to save the project?
2. Playback seems to skip for me and looks like it's only showing every 3rd frame in the actual app. (it's fine once it's actually exported though) so right now what I'm doing is opening up the MLV in MLRawViewer to decide whether or not I like the clip and then export into the MLV App. (it'd be awesome to have everything in 1 place)
3. The White Balance temperature and tint doesn't seem to be as flexible as Davinci or ACR. There's some weird things happening when I push the white balance in the darker areas as seen in the clip that doesn't happen in ACR or Davinci.

I love the work that's being done here though! I'd love to use this app for every project I have moving forward and there's no doubt that this has some serious potential! Keep up the great work!

This is incredible! I personally don't know much about coding and what would be involved but if it were possible to incorporate ACR's "clarity" function and ACR's highlight function this would be the perfect app for magic lantern! Also the app on my OSX just randomly closed the second time I used it when I tried to export the file. Awesome work though. It does really simplify things

Yes, using the 5d mark iii with magic lantern. Thanks for the info on the substraction! All my lenses do the same thing in any slightly darker spots even in well lit areas. I have a Samyang 135 2.0, tamron 45mm 1.8, tamron 35mm 1.8, canon 50mm 1.8. For the shot I posted in the car I was using the tamron 45mm 1.8 wide open.

This link is 12,600 iso and little to no noise..

That video was shot at 3200 and looked great through my camera lcd. When imported there was a ton of noise. There's a number of videos on YouTube where people are using ISO's even above 3200 with little to no noise at all. (Link below). Can you explain in more detail using premiere pro, how to use dark frame substraction? Do I record again with my shutter closed at 24fps, iso 3200? And then overlay it in th editor?

I've seen a lot of videos of night time footage without these red lines. How do I get rid of them?

I've been spending a ton of time trying to get video looking like that on youtube and I can't come anywhere close to the detail that's presented in those videos.

I'm shooting at 24FPS, 48 Shutter speed, ISO 100. Using a tamron 35mm lens. 14bit Raw. Pushing exposure to about 0 on the histogram. Went into davinci then premiere pro and uploaded from premiere pro. I did a decent amount of color grading but I'm more concerned with the detail that's coming out of my video. It just doesn't compare to anything I see on youtube of the mark III Raw. Any suggestions?

When I right click and click MLVFS it puts them into "New (MLVFS Mount)" application. It also opens the web browser but nothing comes up. Any thoughts on why they're opening directly in the app and not on the browser window?

My raw files are EXEL MLV so I convert them to DNG's using MLrawviewer. When I import DNG files into resolve I can't access the (camera raw) color space tab. Any thoughts? Is there a way to use this lut using a BMD Color space and Gamma in After effects or Premiere pro getting the same results?
