I'm currently using the new experiment 10 / 12 bit build on my 70D.  Here are my problems so far unsure if it is related to the build or just my workflow any help diagnosing is extremely appreciated and would receive hero status in my book for any help given.

There is a delay sometimes until actual recording registered in the footage.
I was able to get some footage later and everything was working really  really well.  I did 30 seconds of test footage but after converting mlv files to cdng using mlvmystic and dropping them into davinci resolve 12.5  - all the footage had unstable frame rates and would play back differently each time.  it would go from 2 frames per second to 24 with missing frames in between.  ( the raw footage i did see played back even though out of frame rate looked amazing though so I'm close)

I made sure to set the settings using a lower resolution and in an aspect ratio that showed green for continuous recording with room to spare and using a card with a high write speed that far exceeds my cameras ability.

Is this a local problem when i converted the MLV files using mystic? ( mystic i see is old and I had no luck with the converters i found on ML so far)
Is this a local problem for my computer ? my computer only has 4gb of ram which I know is like bare minimum but I'm using davinci resolve 12.5 which i thought would work with my set up in 10 bit
Is there a setting I'm unaware of in ML that would keep the frame rate stable?

Or is this build just not stable yet?

I'm very new to ML and resolve and the problems I am experiencing could be just a local issue I'm not catching with my inexperience.

Either way I'm really happy there are pro's working on this 10 bit raw recording I think that's so freaking cool and I'm very excited to see where this goes and thank you for working on these builds so we can get these great features out of our canon cameras.  ML is a big part of why I got a canon 70D.

Again Thanks in Advance for any help or suggestions offered by our members here.

Thanks,

Are the experiment downloads stand alone ML or are they to be used alongside a nightly build?  I'm unsure what I'm supposed to do.  Do I remove the latest nightly build then put the experiment on my sd card?  Or do i copy the experiment files alongside the nightly build files and put both on the sd card?  Please Help. 

Hello,

Im new to magic lantern and have the 70D.  I downloaded and successfully installed the latest beta nightly build but that was before I saw this download page for experiments. I want to be able to do 10 bit raw recording. Am i suppose to uninstall the Beta nightly build and then install the experimental?  Or do I keep the original beta magic lantern files installed and add this experiment download to it?  Any help is greatly appreciated as I am a complete noob.

Hello,

I'm brand new to ML and have already installed Beta -4a.  How do I though record in 10 bit raw using magic lantern?  I only see the 14 bit option.  I realize this answer is somewhere on the forum but being new im having some trouble.  Is there something else I need to add to the sd card from ML? If so do I have to remove ML and start over?  Keep in mind I'm completely new here and would very much appreciate some direct help with all the steps.  I have already loaded the 3 MLV modules.  Thank you in advance for your patience with a noob like myself.
