In ML we select picture width (typically 1920) and aspect ratio (2:35.1 / 1.85:1 / 16:9).

But debayering happens in post, so the complete width of the sensor (5D3: 5760 x 3840) seems to be sampled and written to CF anyway with the height according to the aspect ratio that´s been set unless we´re using crop mode.

Software to develop RAW stills like DPP or LightRoom do even debayer to the full maximum sensor resolution (5D3: 5760 x 3840).

So basically it should be possible to extract 4K video from the very same MLraws we are now recording, because the debayering and (down-)scaling is happening in post.

Or am I missing something?

Hi all,

the Transcend cards are very close to achieving the required 83 MB/s sustained write speed, and I´ve heard rare success reports who said it would work after low-level formatting the card with the "autoformat" tool provided by Transcend.

I´m having a hard time on deciding if I should spend money on Lexar or Komputerbay cards - so it would be nice to know if it´s worth trying the Transcend cards...

Some even wrote that Transcends 600x cards had faster write speeds, can anyone confirm that?

Hi all,

before working on MLraw video, I used the MOV files of the 5D2.
In Vegas Pro, the USM/sharpening plugin worked great at the very smallest radius setting 0.001.

With the MLraw files that I´ve converted to Cineform, I´d like to use a better sharpening tool.
In Photoshop I used to use a radius of 0.3 pixels on certain material, and I guess Sony´s smallest setting is more like 1 pixel in PS.

Can anyone recoomend a really good USM/sharpening plugin that runs in Vegas too?
Please let me know!

Best wishes,
Andreas

Hi all,

got my first sucess recording MLraw with my new 5D3 and I´m still on Vegas Pro 11.
I tried the Cineform workflow which is superfast for first experiments and tha image looks superb 1:1 in Vegas, but when I render to SonyAVC (20 Mbit/s) it looses a lot of the original quality.

I was trying mostly fixed shots with not much movement, but when it looks perfectly sharp on the monitor when editing, it looks oversharpened and a bit smeared in Sony´s MP4 output.

MP2 looks a bit better - but:
Do you have a good tip for me?

If you have a workflow of outputting uncompressed and using another (external) encoder to get good results, please let me know!

Best Wishes,
Andreas
