Hello everyone,

I just want to start off by apologizing for the double post. After searching the forum i was able to find the answer to the weird pink highlight issue. I came across the Resolve method but found that using the video limiter effect within premiere pro seems to have worked the best. For those not familiar with the process ill post a tutorial below. Anyway, regarding my question, using the resolve method http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6845.0 and the Video limiter effect in premiere are the only two options at the moment to slightly resolve this pink highlight issue?

My workflow is as follows:
.RAW file converted in MLRAWViewer then transcoded into ProRes (to add the Slog-2 LUT)

Here are my settings:


If you intend on using speedgrade for color grading, make sure that your "Lumetri" effect is placed UNDER the "Video Limiter" effect or the pink highlights can become present if otherwise.

Video Limiter Off:


Video Limiter ON:


However, the only issue with this method is if you look closely at the garbage bags in the background outlined by the red circle, you can notice that in some situations the limiter causes some weird color artifacts when you push it too far. Unfortunately, if you increase the "Chroma Max" value to much, it will reduce the artifacts, but bring back the pink highlights..

Any thoughts? I heard adobe was going to address a fix to this issue, but the pink highlights are present outside of adobe. It seems that this is something introduced from raw files in general.

Again, sorry for the double post, i hope that this is more specific and may help some user with this same problem.

Hello Everyone,

I would like to start off by mentioning how fantastic of a job ML is. The results have far exceeded my original expectations! Every test shot i have performed have come out beautiful! However, i have notched a slight problem. When shooting for longer durations, anything over a minute, i notice that the continuous recording has some problems. When shooting for these long periods of times, i see that several .R00, .R01 etc files have also been made. But when shooting for shorter durations, these files are not made. I have noticed that when shooting this long, the video almost seems that it is broken up into chunks. (which i can understand because this is quite stressful on the CPU) but how ever many .RXX files are made, is the same number of blank frames that have been created in my clip. The clip starts off by playing smoothly until a minute goes by and there is a blank frame and same for the next 30 or so seconds/minute. so my question is, what is causing this? If i cut out the blank frame in my timeline will i run into timing issues for music videos? Meaning will the duration be thrown off causing the footage to slightly come off beat with the sound track? or is it just a simple blank frame caused by those .Rxx files when recording longer durations? However, this may not be too big of an issue because i can always cut to B-Roll or another take. Plenty of work arounds, but i am just curious why this is happening.

Camera: 5D mark iii
Card: Lexar 1066x 64GB
resolution: 1920x872 (continuos works fine at full HD. but i like this aspect ratio. it is not due to the cads write limitations)
MLRawViewer used to transcode into prores. Should i use a different transcode application? ( i like the ability to create prores files and add the Slog-2 LUT)

Thank you!
