Out of curiousity.. could you shoot a 'broadcast quality' commercial using the 50d?

How do I change the exposure meter to go a bit the center without affecting ISO and aperture?  Is there a way?

I shot someone in front of a green screen for a few tests and used the 3-point light system usually used for chroma keying.  The aperture was open all the way and the subject was a little dark, so I bumped the ISO to about 500 and it was just a little overexposed (by 1 slash whatever that is).  After recording, I dropped it in AE to remove the green screen and it was noisy and tough to get a clean cut.

Any tips on chroma keying with Raw?

Anyone have suggestions on extra batteries?  Mine dies way to fast.

@DL Watson    Apology for missing it somewhere, but which 50mm lens are you using?  I have the 50mm EF 1.8 and 50mm fd 1.4

Is that a bug currently with the raw>acr transition?

Here is another video I did just goofing around downtown. 


@1%  About 7-8 seconds in you start to see the 'flashing' I talked about.

Raw to CDNG
ACR Flattened Image
Color Corrected in AE

I'm doing the same video, except corrected in Resolve to test different looks/feels.

HDR is off. Still blinks. Any other ideas to check for?

Shot this yesterday messing around.

When I shoot some of my video, say in front of a green screen with steady lighting... my subjects are somewhat 'blinking'.  The light is flashing like it's doing automatic quick exposure.  How can I fix this?

Curious question I just thought about.

Would shooting with a 'flat' color profile on top of the Raw video help the grading process instead of shooting the Raw with the default profile, then making it flat via ACR or BMD Film on Resolve?

Nevermind.  Found it.

I apologize if this has been discussed.  I have searched this topic and the post-production topic.. either skipped it or it hasn't been addressed.  I just tested a video out and I have the raw file (m29-1506) and a rar file of the same file name.  The rar is 'corrupt' and the .raw file won't extract.  Any way to recover/fix this?

I'm new to the forums.  I've been a ML user with a T2i, sold it for the GH3 and now just purchased a 50d that comes in the mail today!  Thank you to your hard work and hopefully I'll be able to donate some money in the next few weeks after I get paid.

I see a lot of people using the Komputerbay 64gig 1000x cf and I was wondering if any tests have been made with the 50d using Lexar 32gb 1000x cf?
