Hey guys, has there been any other reports or solutions to this?  I've been working with my production team and it seems to only happen when its copied over to a mac.  I've never had the issue when copying to my PC whether I use USB2 or USB3 ports or any reader.  Its happening on 2 different 5d3's that are both running ML.  The footage plays back properly in camera but after copied to the Macbook Pro the footage has random frame skips/rips.

Any help would be greatful to make sure this doesn't keep happening.

Raw Video / 48/50/60p data rate much lower than 24p/1080p
February 11, 2014, 04:07:50 PM
Hey guys, I'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong with this.

I've followed the guide in the sticky but the data rate it records won't really go above about 79-82mb/sec. At normal 1080p 24p RAW my data rate is between 85-110mb/sec on the Komputerbay 64gb card i have.

Is there some key setting i may have missed? Or is this just how the camera operates.

Raw Video / MLV + Sound
February 04, 2014, 03:18:12 PM
Hey guys, I've been wondering if there is an updated mlv_and.MO that doesn't have a fee extra frames of audio at the end.

Right now when I pull my footages into resolve and pull the audio in as well it offsets the next audio since each audio file is a bit longer than the video file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys, I ordered the 128gb 1050x cf card by Komputer bay and it works... but...

I can't reliably record the mlv format with audio at 1920x1080 24p.

50% of the time I can get it to record but skips a frame once it gets to 4gb and needs to start the next file.

The other times its un reliable how many frames ill get. And it  never gets past the 4gb mark.

At the res 17xx I can record over 4gb. Ive recorded 4 minutes of video and audio at the res. (Haven't tried to test farther than that.)

Ive hears the 32 and 64gb cards from Komputerbay are faster than the 128gb.  I'm just trying to find the realistic performance of the cards.

Can I press record... with global draw on/off. And record till the card is full at 1080p raw on these smaller cards?

And also the cf buffer option I've got at default. Os there a certain setting to find on those to make it more stable?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Raw Video Postprocessing / DNG to ProRes
January 04, 2014, 03:19:10 AM
Fastest quality encoder that uses Adobe Camera Raw engine and then converts the DNG sequence straight to Prores HQ 422/444.

Here is what I would like to do

1. Convert .RAW files from CF card right to separate DNG folders per clip. and put a 50% preview proxy video in the folder (Cineform probably since its almost instant)
2. Open the first DNG file in the sequence and do the corrections needed. (then close photo shop)
3. Open a utility/converter where i can select the DNG folder and it will read the first DNG as the master and then link the sequence to the rest of the files in the sequence.
4. have Conversion options for different ProRes or DNxHD formats that will convert quickly(not like AE which takes FOREVER compared to other converters)

OR

The best case for me would be to have an app that can look at the CF card, pull the first frame from the .RAW or .MLV files selected.. then open them in Adobe Camera RAW editor (in photoshop or on its own if thats possible) and use them as the reference correction.  Once done correcting, press DON on ACR and close photoshop. And go back to the app and press "convert" and it will do whatever extraction required in to a temp folder and then convert to a ProRes file into a designated destination folder.

I've been trying out Bachelor, RawAnizer, EyeFrame, Lightroom, AE, Photoshop, Go Pro Cineform, Raw2DNG... just haven't found something worth using for quality to speed.  If Cineform can take a RAW file and convert it to cineform 422 at about 100fps or faster I'd hope the find something that could use the Adobe camera RAW editor and convert it to ProRes at something like 30-50fps instead of 5-10 fps.

Please help.

Raw Video / 24p vs 60p data rate in RAW
December 12, 2013, 03:18:12 AM
Hello, Just wondering why the capable data rate of my 5d3 goes down about 20-25mb/s when doing 60p in RAW.  on 1920x1080 24p its hovers around 85-90mb/s and records continuous NP.

When i set it to 60p it says my capable data rate is only about 70-75.. so i have to down scale to about 1500xXXX.. I was hoping that i could at least stay at 1600xXXX which looks to be a similar data rate as 1920x1080 24p.

Are there any other modulars or options i can apply to make the capable data rate the same as the 24p setting?

to clarify I'm not asking why 60 fps uses more mb/sec at 1920x1080.. I'm wondering why the camera says my cards data rate goes from 95mb/s to 70mb/sec when i switch from 24 to 60fps.

Thanks for the help.

I'm trying to figure out the differences and improvements that .mlv has mode over the first .raw format.  Does it use the same data rate? looking for some sort of comparison if possible.

Thanks

So now that we have the RAW development going in burst mode. How hard would it be to do a shutterless burst style recording in jpeg mode. In terms of data rate I'd think we should be able to record 120fps at 1080 and 24/30fps at about full/half res(2.5k to 5k).

What do you guys think?

General Help Q&A / USB to audio line adapter on 60D
September 01, 2013, 04:40:26 AM
Hey guys,  I made one of these cables on my own using the Canon cable and it works.. except.. when I'm monitoring.. if the volume IN level goes above half way the output to the headphones is very scratchy.  I've tried mulitple mics and headphones.. and this sound isn't replicated on the actual recording.   Am i doing something wrong or is this how it is.

I've used 2 different Lapel mics, Rode video mic and the on camera mic
Audio-technica M50s and ipod headphones.

All have the same scratchy/distorted sound if the meter starts to just tap the GREEN on the mic VU meter.

Anyways, any help would be awesome.

Thanks.

I'm looking for a way to do HDR video with native to adobe premeire and after FX CS6 tools.  I found a tutorial video on vimeo that went through it.. but I couldnt get it to work.  The video also went through other 3rd party software plugins but i'd like to do it all internally with shipped plugins if possible.

Thanks!

I'm trying to plan out my next purchase. Im looking for a sharp lens that is a zoom. I've been looking at the Tamron 24-70 with VC(aka IS)to help out with run and gun type shooting. I do mostly concert/take away show shooting but would like to venture into short film work.

Here is what I have:

Canon T3i wth ML
Sandisk 32gb class 10
Rode video mic
Basic 72inch tripod with pistol grip and quick release.

Canon Lenses
Canon 18-55 II IS
Canon 50mm f1.4

Vintage Nikkor full manual lenses
24mm f2.8
35mm f2
50mm f2
105mm f2.5

Any advice would be great. I don't have mo eyes right now to buy something. This will be a "save up to buy the right thing" purchase. :-)

Thanks!

Now that one of these cameras has a movie auto focus ability is it possible to port the ability over to other models? And to allow normal lenses instead of the STM lenses?

I'm not a Dev. I was just wondering if its on anyone's radar for future projects.

I would think there would be a way to lock shutter, aperture, ISO, and WB and have the camera search for focus.
