Hi All - is this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16cgnRivbUv7nA9PUlCLmLdir3gXdIN3pqzCNAAybepc/edit#gid=5 current, or if not, where is the latest chart of current ML RAW video capabilities by camera?

Thanks and happy new year.

Hi All -- New to experimenting with RAW video, and so far I can't tell if mine looks any good or not. I am using the latest stable build of ML on a Canon t4i/650d at 720x1280 24fps.

Specifically, I am disappointed with indoor low-light results. Even shooting with a fast lens at 100ISO, I find my results grainy/noisy. I was expecting to be able to bring up the lows, and it is just not there. It seems that the RAW video gives good dynamic range in a well-lit outdoor shot but that's it.

Am I missing some critical basic setting? Does anyone have any tips, or examples? I would/will post my bad results but for now have maxed my vimeo quota.

Best regards.

Hello all - Just wanted to volunteer a workflow that Just Works for me on Ubuntu 12.10, using all open source software, since I don't want to spend any money on (or illegally download) After Effects, Premier, Lightroom, etc. or use Windows.

Nothing new here, I just thought I would put it in one place since it wasn't there for me a few days ago. This is for those of us with Pink Dot cameras.

1. Use EyeFrame to convert RAW->DNGs (because it Just Works with Wine in Ubuntu)
2. Use PinkDotRemover on DNGs (it only wants to start in a terminal for me in 12.10; then it works)
3. Use Darktable to do a little color correction. Select all images and export as TIFF
4. Use Kdenlive; Import by Project>Add Slideshow clip. Select first TIFF from folder. Use frame duration, 1 frame.
5. Kdenlive> do your cutting and render to an mp4 or avi or whatever.

It works. But I still have some pink crap. If anyone knows an alternative way to use a better codec to export from Kdenlive, that would be great to know. The mlviewer app works great for me for playback, but prores encoding messed up, and I needed the PinkDotRemover for my 650d.

Best regards

Hi All -- I'm noo to this and trying to get my first RAW video sample from 650d to see if it's worth it.

Is there any way to convert dng files to something usable without After Effects or Premier? I use Ubuntu 12.10 and also have an old Windows XP build. I have been editing h.264 in kdenlive which works very well for me. I have been reading the workflow posts for many hours, and don't see a way to do it with open source software.

Any way to convert dng's to something I can cut?
