Hey all. Just wrote a Mac OSX bash shell script, for importing video off CF cards from the canon.

http://www.basetheory.com.au/osx-canon-video-import-script/

I thought it was getting a bit silly, with the amount of messing around required to get all the different footage formats off one single camera (h264, h264 slowmo, cr2 timelapse, 14bit raw video) so i decided to write a script that would sort and convert it all for me at once, regardless of what combination of footage I'd shot that day.

Its a shell script which is daunting for some (and could probably stand to have a simple gui makeover) but it seems to do the job pretty well once the environmental variables are set.

Basically just plug in your CF card. Run the script. Go make yourself a coffee and wait.

It will:
1) create a folder in your scratch location based on the date of ingest.
2) convert 14bit raw video to DNG sequences
3) create mjpeg proxy videos of those DNG sequences for editing
4) determine the framerates of the h264 video
5) copy the standard framerate files straight over, and conform the slowmotion footage.
6) create mjpeg proxy videos of the h264 footage for editing
7) convert CR2 files to a DNG sequence (treating it as a timelapse)
8) create mjpeg proxy video of the DNG timelapse sequence for editing.

Let me know what you think. If you have any suggestions for improving it, comments and criticisms are welcome.

Hi all. So i started playing around with Magic Lantern's HDR video the other day, and decided to write a little After effect script to automate my workflow, and thought I should share it here if anyone is interested.

http://www.basetheory.com.au/magic-lantern-hdr-video-script/

Its a pretty simple script, and it should be totally platform independent as long as you have AE (for all those mac heads who've been going insane with wine and enfuse).

The script will:
1) create a new composition for your video file
2) detect whether the first frame is high or low ISO
3) split the frames to seperate layers
4) tonemap those layers
5) add a few effects for fine tuning

Also totally GPL, so feel free to hack it to pieces.

Comments and criticisms are welcome. If you can think of anything that would improve the script, leave a comment.
