Thanks Timby! I'll keep plugging away, haha. The amount of time I've spent trying to improve my resolution and overall quality in ML with underwater video is nuts!

I don't know the exact reason, but all ML cameras have a MAX vertical resolution in standard mode and in crop mode. Maybe someone else can explain that part.
I used to use this calculator to calculate the ratios that I needed. I don't know if it's been updated or not (I'm sure it hasn't kept up with the nightly builds), but here it is. You can see that the max resolution for the 5d3 in crop is 1320. https://rawcalculator.netlify.com/calculator_desktop

At first, start with https://builds.magiclantern.fm/experiments.html Module name: 4K raw video recording; lossless compression Latest Build (2018-07-22 13:09)
When you'll have got used to it, then you can try a modified version by Danne from here: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=23041.msg216899#msg216899

You don't need a faster card as there's a limit in a camera CF bus speed.
You're missing a lot not using a compressed lossless 14-bit. You can record 1920x1080 at 29.97fps continuous with a fullcolored realtime preview + proxy video to SD card (to have a preview in a camera). It's a regular Canon's video + ML RAW.
If you don't need proxies, you can get ML with higher resolution or higher FPS (up to 60 fps - 1920x800 but preview is a little broken).
All this will work with your current Lexar 1066x card

That's an extremely long workflow for the first one. MLVAPP can cut your time "BRIDGE, ACR, AFTER EFFECTS, MEDIA ENCODER PROCESS" by almost quadruple. MLVAPP is pretty powerful, especially if you have a solid GPU. Of course Resolve is faster too.
But I understand wanting to work with camera raw.
Bro... what? You should be using the "Smart Import 2" script for After Effects. That would remove the Bridge-ACR step and take you straight into Camera Raw in AE. Here's a link to it: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13354.0 . Will probably save you hours of time. You can also do the warp stabilizer effect in AE to skip your having to use premiere step. I think you exporting the footage so many times may have something to do with the quality loss (I could be SUPER wrong about that though).
Also, next time consider shooting in 12-bit. There is practically no difference in dynamic range in 12-bit, but you can shoot at higher resolutions. I think having more resolution would help you in cases like these.
Denoiser III by redgiant is an absolute god-send. You can crank the shadows up and slap denoiser on there and you'll get crystal clear footage. I also think you should add sharpening (unsharp mask) to some of the footage. Sometimes the fish gets slightly blurry and this would improve on that end.

Why don't you use a 14bit lossless? You can go much higher resolution with it.
The build is in an Experimental branch but it works without any issues.

What underwater case did you use?
