so I had this idea, it's really usable for ppl who shoot with tripods. So the biggest problem we have is cropping. What if we saved a full size dng every x-seconds and used it as a background to the smaller cropped shots.

So if you are shooting landscape, and you want the center to be your work area, but things in the scene change, but not that much, couldn't you overlay the cropped images to the larger full shot? It wouldn't work for everything, but somethings it could. It wouldn't mess with the buffer too much either, I don't think. Just throwing some ideas out there.

I do a lot of videos from a tripod for other edits that you need it for, like duplicating myself and timelapse, etc. I could see it working for some of the scenes I work with, and possibly for other people. Again, just throwing ideas around that might inspire others.

You haven't set "Pic Quality" to "SRAW" yet, right? Do it and reboot your camera (It's in "Shoot" tab). This will increase the size of your buffer on the 600D.
And since a small buffer results in skipped and magenta frames, the increased buffer size should help you

Thanks a bunch, that's exactly what my problem was. I had no idea that setting was in there, guess I can go test it out for real thanks to you.

Today I shot some short clips to see how well 960 X 540 performs against 1080p H.264 and I haven't seen any magenta frame. And I've just turned the skipping off because I can record continously until the file size reaches the 4 GB limit. So why should I need skipping? 

I was in 1080 X 1920 24p Movie Mode with "FPS override" turned off. Also every option of "Global Draw" was turned off. And I didn't use audio recording either. I put a link to my SD-card in my earlier post.

So far, everything works quite nice 

I have that same card, is there a certain way to format it to give you no frame skipping? I only get 20.1 mb/s max out of the card for some reason. I turned off everything and still get frame skipping. I keep seeing the buffer benchmarks, is that something I should be changing? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just lost on why I can't seem to get this working

what were you shooting this at under raw settings? I still get random magenta and skipped frames with 960x540. are you running LV in 720 and shooting with 640x360?

nice, I figured something was wrong with HDMI since nobody really talks about it. Thanks for the info

I love that we have this on our 600D's. I've been quietly lurking these threads, mainly because I don't know much and have 0 useful information, but I'm curious if our HDMI or USB ports on the cam are usable for anything? I haven't really seen anything about our HDMI speed, and we do have video output through the USB if I remember correctly? Just throwing ideas out there for the smart people, even though I'm certain that someone already answered both of these options somewhere.
