Here's my first attempt at using RAW video with my T5i/700D.  Make sure to change settings to 720p on youtube.  I'm finally able to get continuous MLV with sound and am loving it.  Please let me know what you think.  Thanks for watching

I apologize if this question has been answered in the past but I've tried searching for it but didn't find anything.  I am trying to shoot music video type videos with my T5i/700D which requires me to shoot at least 3 min length videos.  I am currently shooting in 1280/720 @24fps.  Using MLV with sound my video stops at a little after 1 minute due to frame skippage.  When I turn sound off and use RAW it goes a little longer to about 2 minutes before stopping due to skippage.  Having no sound is a huge disadvantage so I would need sound.  I've tried allowing frame skippage but after the first frame skips it starts skippking large amounts (about 300 skipped frames by 3 minutes).  I am using a Sandisk 32gig 45mb/s card (I have heard that 45mb/s cards are the max that 700D can do so buying a faster speed card would be a waste).  My question is, is continuous RAW video at 1280/720 @ 24fps possible with the 700D?  Can it be done with MLV and sound? If so, what am I doing wrong?  What are the settings on the ML menu set at for optimum recording length?  Once again I'm sorry if this has already been answered.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am about to give up on RAW video.  THANKS in advance!

First off let me start off by saying I am completely new to Video editing and have found this forum immensely helpful in getting me to ALMOST start shooting RAW videos.  I am currently using a Canon 700D and am converting my RAW videos to DNG and rendering them in After effects as MOV files to use in Premiere.  I was shooting my RAW videos in 1280x720 in 16:9 aspect ratio.  Now here's my problem...when I open the DNG files in After Effects the video is resized and looks like its zoomed in.  I took two videos to try to compare video quality, one with RAW(720) and one without (1080).  Both videos were done without moving the camera on a tripod, but when I look at the rendered DNG files they are resized.  I'm sure there is some very obvious noob mistake I'm making here since I am very new to all this aspect ratio and resolution rendering stuff.  I've been trying to research this topic online but have had no luck.  What resolution and aspect ratio should I be recording my RAW videos in to get good quality? And how do I render the video so nothing gets cut off?  Thank you all for any help you can give me!
