I am using a MARK 5D2.
Did the options for fix black level from the September build to the new Oct8 build change?
Because either there is a glitch or my wife messed up the settings.
The first time she was handed the camera, she accidentally hit the joystick and sent it whizzing through the
options... And when you bump that joystick you can accidentally hold it down too so not only does it fly
through all the options but it actually selects shit as well as it goes! When I saw this, I was like...
"Okay. Do you see what just happened? Do not ever go near the joystick again."
And I set it so she just can open the iso and change the iso/shutter settings with the top dial and never
have to go into menus or use joystick because for uncoordinated people, this REALLY can be dangerous!
She has been using the camera all summer and not messed up at all and she denies having messed with any
controls or settings and she says she has been very careful never to do so. (Even though I know sometimes
people who aren't as into computers as I am can accidentally hit shit and not realize they did it but I don't
really think she did anything this time, I think it is a glitch. However, I will tell this story so people know it's possible.)
I don't recall ever having selected fix black level but I upgraded to Oct build and shot
today's footage on it. I converted the MLV to RAW, loaded into PREMIERE and all the RAW stuff is pink hued.
However, I further verify that the original MLVs were pink also because of the "fix black level" option being on.
So this is not an issue which occurred during MLV to RAW/WAV conversion.
To discover why things happened, I went back into the camera and filmed more and then played it back on the camera it's self.
Again... Pink Hue! I knew at that point the issue was in the recording process it's self and not in the conversion.
So I started looking through options... And "fix black level" was turned on!
I turned "fix black level" off and shot some footage and then played that on the camera.
It played back perfectly! Everything is recording normally now... But the option "fix black level" is gone!
(After I turned it off, the camera is now recording properly plus the option "fix black level" does not appear.)
Did the new build remove the option and this cause a glitch?
And here is the part I'm really worried about - I already converted my MLV to RAW and do not have the original MLVs now.
So all my RAW stuff has the pink hue!!! Help! I remember people talking about fixing this... How?
I import my RAW stuff into PREMIERE using Mediareactor's plugin and it works awesome.
My normal workflow is I shoot RAW and have it save to MLV then I use MLV MYSTIC to convert to RAW and WAV files.
Then I import them into PREMIERE directly.
This has always worked awesome for me and will continue to work now that I shut the fix black levels option
off but I need to know if there's a way to fix the RAW footage that has the pink hue issue?
Anyone?
I hope this is not off topic! Please move to correct location if so, I do not mean to be off topic!
Also, this could be a bug report and if so, the bug is likely that if you had "fix black level" off
on the last September build and then upgrade to the October build, it comes up on.
Then if you turn it off, the entire option it's self seems to go away. (But it does turn it off)
Thanks for any help!
I posted a long time ago when I was a noob, have been shooting RAW all summer.
Have Terrabytes of footage, have learned soooo much! Shooting RAW is so awesome!
I am so grateful to the Magic Lantern team, you guys have done a spectacular job.
