I couldn't find any message from you, neither PM, nor e-mail. Anyway.

In my case, the main issue is not lack of hardware - that's relatively easy to get on the used market, or borrow from a friend etc. The biggest problem, in *my* case, is the allocation of large amounts of time for hobby projects (estimated several hundred hours required for a working port, not including maintenance). I'm no longer able to allocate this amount of time without risking my ability to put food on the table. This wasn't an issue before ~ 2017, but living expenses increased a lot in recent years (they doubled this year, for example). I'm already looking for a second job (tried freelancing, without success, but still considering it), and having an extra 5D4 to take care of, is definitely not going to help, as it only means additional workload for me. Even if I'll be allowed to sell it afterwards, I still won't be tempted, sorry.

In other words:
However, that's my motivation behind Open Collective - if it works out (unlikely, given the reverse engineering nature of our project), and if I'll be able to cover at least a significant part of my living expenses out of that, I'll reconsider. Otherwise, I'm really sorry, but this port will have to be created and maintained by somebody else. Same for all other cameras that are not yet supported.

So, if other developers are willing to look into it and can prove their skills first, preferably on another DIGIC 6 camera, OK from my side. Just be careful with lending - I won't be able to guarantee they will succeed, or that they will actually return the camera afterwards

As for C-Log, if it's a paid upgrade, I wouldn't touch it, no matter how trivial it might be to unlock. It would be software piracy, which could upset Canon and put our project in danger.

Oh, I already paid and sent my camera in for c-log. I wasn't looking for a hack or anything. But I could've sworn reading somewhere that there was an issue with clog and ML.

I wrote a1ex in a pm but I didn't get a reply.  Although it's probably a stupid idea, I'm from Germany and have a 5d4, but I might be willing to lend it to a ml guy, but my main motivation is for raw video, 1080p would be fine first.

But it seems like this might be really difficult with a 2nd proc thing.  Or maybe I could send it to someone that can get all the info needed for other developers. 

It also has c-log, but I'm not sure how that will affect  anything? 

I did search, but didn't find anything about it...

Is  it theoretically possible or can this not be done in terms of changing the output of hdmi ?   Like intstead of 1080p 8bit 4:2:0 increase the quality sentt? 

This isn't about a specific camera but I just  never heard of this?

5D IV can record 4k video in default. Yes, it is only MJPEG, but I suppose this is reason, why live view could be smooth (colorful and without compromise)  during recording raw video.. moreover on lcd screen with more than 1.5x more details.
Shooting without realtime display (cropped view or slowing down) is unusable for me.

The quality of the 4k is good, the annoying thing is the 1,7x crop. 

Being looking thought this thread and it seems ML is pretty close to be running , so far as I can see firmware 112 , stubs.S & consts.h are found
and has minimal.c running .
Still a lot of reversing needs to done on the rom , but of all the EOS new camera's the 5D Mark iv (ok it not new really) has the best chance to make it to the finish line.
Why I'm I posting about this , I've been look at that the 5D4 for some time and now the price is dropping ($2100.00 Canadian Used) .
I can do some of this port work , but there still a lot of this that over my head (It seems I have nothing but time on my hands right now)
I know there's a lot of people out there that what this to happen , but two things need to happen ,
1st: I need the hardware (so the cheapest I can find , so that could take so time , don't hold your breath)
2nd: help from a core dev. from time to time or at least at a pointer in the direction I need to go .

I'm not saying I can finish porting this fully but with help , I'm willing to try .
So until I come across a great deal on a 5D4 body , I'll be reviewing porting procedure & code for the digic6 and try and get my head around this better .

How long would you need a camera for?     I have one so i f you want me to do tests I can?

hgere's the re-uploaded

thanks.  that fixed it.

It's like this too when I play from mplayer.(before uploading the video) 

I just used the default youtube settings. when exporting from resolve...(Linux, free version. 

Wasn't this nearly the same discussion?! https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=24306.0
If you export to any ProRes format, Whitebalance is the most important to setup before! After converting to ProRes, WB is burned in and can't be corrected without big quality loss afterwards - no matter which program used.

thanks for pointing that out.  i wanted to stay in raw in resolve, but there's no way around that when i shot in hdr. 

is there an easier way to automatically adjust white balance in mlvapp with with a colorpicker thing with a white

is there something better than prores4444 for editing in resolve? 

Just export in DNG (it's RAW) and use X-Rite section in Davinci, and grade everything in Davinci as RAW. Why do you convert to prores4444 before grading?

Unfortunately I shot in hdr which isn't supported in the free version of resolve. 

So, I converted my raw stuff to prores4444.   But i Have some questions I'm new to this... what order should I do things in...

I have an xrite.  Should I set the xrite first then convert to rec709 then additional grade   / lut stuff? 
 
I searched for this but  couldn't find it. 

Also a question, do you always do additional grading stuff after calibrating with an xrite?  It seems like it'd just fix the levels ?  and that would be it ? I could understand more artsy coloring for a desired look?

thanks - m

Thanks.

is there any way to get rid of the hdr? I didn't mean to do it to begin with so I don't care if I get rid of it.

Is that how the hdr works with on thre 5d3 is dual iso? i saw the option on the camera. I tried dual iso too, but it really messed stuff up. 

Can I make mlvapp blend the frames for dng uncompressed

I use the free version of Resolve on Linux. 

So, when I play in mlv app I get a get a lot of flickering(due to me accidentally recording in hdr)

When I export to something like prores 4444 with hdr checked in the export settings. It plays fine(no flickering) and no flickering in resolve. But when I export to dng uncompressed with the hdr checked in the export settings, in resolve I get the same flickering...

Sorry. card reader had bent pin. but it's weird that it didn't show up in the camera itself.

Just did a raw video test (without dslr controller) and it shows up in the when I hit the "play button thing"

So, here's what happened.  On Friday/Saturday I did a small raw video test of my cat at home, put the cf card in my card reader and it worked fine. 

Sunday, I took some raw video at my band practice and now the cf card isn't recognized at all when I plug it in(the computer).   Not even as an unformated device(nothing under fdisk)...
The card reader shows up under dmesg when I plug it in, it has 2 slots a sdcard slot which still works.     

The only difference was I was using a usb cable with connected to my cell phone with dslr controller.

Was there a a special way to list raw videos? I thought the play(triangle button) should work?

There is a wierd ass video on there  of the back of a canon camera that I have no idea...

oh I forgot to mention i bought a xrite colorchecker thing too. 

should I use this too?

? 

Thanks for the replies. 

I have a 5d3 and I'll be making a music video with my band.  I'm new to a lot of this codec /color space stuff.....


So, it seems maybe I just want to export dng losless?  What gamma curve thing should I use?  What picture profile should i use?  I did buy the cinelook/cinetech thing but I haven't put it on this camera yet. Is it better to use that from starting? 

Also when shooting raw video do I want to expose to the right a little also? 

sorry my lingo is kind of weird.

Thanks for any  help.

Are there any hidden things in a photo profiles or is that just a the 4 settings of (saturation, contrast... etc)

I have a 5d3 with ml , but it would be nice to be able to set it, so for photos it uses a sd card, and for recording movies it defaults to the cf card. 

If this isn't in there and I just missed it, is there place for feature requests?
