Superb! Could you please share your workflow and the grading technique, LUT info, etc. Really like the sensible use of the glide cam. My favourite shots were the start with the tilting of the building and the camera panning from behind the leaves to reveal the street. Wow! Hope to see more of your work in the near future.

Awesome! Well paced and well edited.

g3gg0, if i use the old dokan on the opening page then the error is - the program cant start because dokanfuse.dll is missing from your computer. try installing the program to fix this problem

g3gg0, checked widows is uptodate but dokan still has installation error 0x80091007 - hash value is not correct

@g3gg0, I did uninstall all versions that the I had and checked. Not sure about the latest windows updates - Wil check later tonight and report.

Dokan is clearly the challenge. Have the Mlvfs working on the Mac for the moment and am satisfied with the speed of conversion bit struggle to understand the GUi interface and related. Will work to master in the coming days and report progress. I wanted to work with mlvfs since I want to work with mlv lite. Hope to test that too this week and next.

But for now the more pressing issue is the dng and xmp side car problem I am facing. Need to work out how to transfer modifications made with ACR on a single frame to all others. Mac not creating sidecars but understand that is not possible with dngs anyway since the xmp data is baked into the dng. So, the problem maybe with AE - not sure yet.

Hi Frank, they aren't. Have been googling this since morning. when i log out of ACR the xmp sidecar isn't created either. even forcing ACR is not working. So, when I import the first frame is the corrected one but other don't carry the change. still looking will share if i do find what the problem was.

i finally cracked it. downloaded the latest FUSE version that g3gg0 shared yesterday (see a few postings above the last one). It was an easy ride thereafter:

1. the FUSE automatically stations in the desktop folder
2. then, i created a blank folder in the desktop folder (mine was called MLV) - remember this should be blank
3. transferred, the camera recorded mlv file to a new folder on my desktop (not the blank MLV folder mentioned above - this should stay blank for till the FUSE is run on it)
4. then went to this folder with the mlv recorded file and right clicked. Created an association with the mlvfs format - this is the second last menu 5. 5. option on the drop down that shows up when you right click the mlv recorded folder
6. the moment you click the mlvfs tab it will show a folder for you to look for the place where you want to mount and transfer your extracted mlv file. 7. here i just directed the mac to the previously created blank MLV folder and the rest is history
8. opened the extracted files as a sequence in AE .. all showed up fine

Hope this helps everyone struggling to make this work - i have literally died trying to set this up - cannot still work out how to do this on Windows (that would be better since i have all my recorded mlv's in there) - but the donkey folder shows up some error (shared the error with g3gg0) - lets see

I am still trying to figure out how to covert several mlv files in one go or at different times using the same folder the I first created (at the moment have to create a new one each time). Plus, the FUSE GUI that opens up continues to show the first file i covered and now the new ones

Lastly, i covered the files and imported the sequence in AE. This took me to the ACR GUI. I changed the frame but the changes stay with the first frame - anyone know how i can transfer the effects and changes to other frames in the sequence

Thanks

ok getting closer to the end goal .. on my mac have everything lineup but now there is localhost8000 error: safari cannot open page localhost8000 because safari cannot connect to server 'localhost'

tried to execute chmod + x but get the error the file does not exist (at least now know what chmod does  :-)



success on mac .. finally .. will try on Windows10 later

what is a team viewer session?

after giving up on windows 10, i tried the mac but am getting a permission denied for the mlvfs executable file - what do I do from here?

No success. I finally give up :-(

computer is looking for dokanfuse1.dll on my windows 10 machine after i press the command on cmd

now downloaded the latest mlvfs_x86 file version 2/11/2016 and when i execute cmd i get the message 'unmount' but no files.

Hey everyone, I must admit that I am completely lost with what to do. Have reached a point (after endless hours of sitting on the computer and a bad back with a few 10's of $'s spent on buying programs that will let me buy .dll files and all) where I can go into the cmd and request the computer to execute the mlfvs executable and all that. But do not understand what to do next ... for example where do the converted DNG's surface. Cannot see these anywhere .. and since there is no error on the cmd screen, I reckon all must be good.

My workflow:

I first download the mlvfs_x64.exe zip and then unzip (naturally  )
Then copy the unzipped mlvfs_x64 folder to the my f:/ drive
Mount the f:/ drive to my z:/ drive - so now all that is on f:/ shows up on z:/ (every thing and the mlvfs_x64 folder too)
I also copy the mlv that I want to convert to the f:/ root folder
Then, I just go to cmd where if first bring the computer to f:/ (then) it is f:/mlvfs_x64 (then) f:/mlvfs_x64/mlfvs_x64.exe f:/ --mlv-dir=z:/out (where 'out' is my intended output folder on z:/ where I want my DNG's to go

Not sure what to do with the dokey elements. When I download it, it is not coming on but there is an error in the .exe

I am on Windows 10 at the moment. Will try using these executables (FUSE and all) on the my Macbook pro to see if I come up with different results.

Superb dude .. U are a real dude dude

Can someone please help - i am a noob with this - i have followed the steps in the OP and included the following code in the C:/ but getting a syntax error. What is the 'mount point'?

I am on windows 10.

Need to learn how to use this program to decode MLV Lite files. At the moment MLViewer is showing pitch black screens of video recorded with the MLV Lite module.

5Dm3 recording stops after 12 seconds in both 1856X1088 and 1920X1080 @ 25fps. Card computer bay 64GB 1000x.

Replaced the raw_rec.mo with your module.

Continuous in smaller frame sizes. Also, continuous in 3X @ 1600X900.

I will test this MLV-lite module tonight both on the 5DM3 and EOSM and report. I am especially interested to realize the better capacity to harness the 3X zoom and the higher than 1920x1080 files sizes. Will also check to see if the file / frame corrupts if the card runs out of memory.

easily the most amazing time-lapse I have ever watched. The thing with timelapses is that you can't wait for them to finish but your effort was like a story within a story and the technical aspect was amazing too - a lot in there for everyone - pure genius. Hope to see more of your work.

Cool!

Loke the grading.

Awesome stuff!

I have a GD2000 too but gave up trying to use it a long time ago. Your video inspired me to give it one last try. Would love too get some more tips - the one about not doing the fall test is noted.

One suggestion about the editing is to make the arrangement of the clips more orderly since in some places the flow is broken. But that could be just me commenting on other people's work when I have nothing to show myself. Otherwise love your work. Keep making and enjoying.

Could someday do a how to video on the matchmoving part .. really interested to learn!

The other things is about the blacks .. my 5DM3 + 24-105mm combo produces some really ugly blacks (grainy and pixelated) - mostly in the shadow area of the skin. Any suggestions on how to tackle this will be helpful.

Cheers!

Awesome work!

I am really inspired.

The music and the theme of your short is really nicely done.

Hope to see more from you soon.

Cheers!

Good work. Hope to see more from you!

Love the music, love the edits, like the overall feel of your film. Great work! Keep posting. Cheers!

Awesome buddy!

Did you record the track yourself - lovely song - great lyrics.
