Hi - does this alpha build for the 70D have 'movie restart'? I have it in the movie tweaks folder on my 5D3 but can't find any reference to it in this 70D magic lantern thread. If anyone's tested it and knows would be great to hear from you. Thanks!

Feature Requests / Re: Movie Restart on 5D3?
August 16, 2013, 12:45:18 AM
I also just upgraded to a new version of Magic Lantern and was very excited to see the 'Movie Restart' option had been added!

I've just tested it on both my 5D3s and unfortunately it's not working on either of them :(

I use them to film events, so often rig them in unreachable places - it would be such a useful function to have. Not to have to worry about having to restart the cameras.

Hopefully if it worked for Audionut back in March then it means it might be possible to get it working...

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Alex, that's a real shame there's not likely to be any auto movie restart option :(

I cover events and very often I need to rig the camera in some fairly inaccessible places where it's not really practical to restart the camera manually. Indeed the auto restart on the 60D was quite simply the most significant and helpful function I could have imagined!

I'm just wondering - isn't the law to prevent devices going beyond 30 mins of continuous recording? The auto movie restart function doesn't allow for continuous recording over 30 mins. It stops recording, there's a break, thens it starts again, so definitely not continuous?

Such a useful function to have and honestly not sure how I'm going to get by without it :(

Thanks for all your hard work!

Hi Alex, I was just wondering if the auto restart is included or likely to be included in an update soon? I know the Mk3 now can record for longer (up to 30 mins) but it would stilll be a very useful feature to have so I can just position the camera at an event and leave it recording. Many thanks!
