I updated from 1.1.3 ML to 1.2.3 ML without problems.
I followed the instructions by simply removing the ML card, adding canon firmware on another card, updating, then inserting the 1.2.3 ML version. Awesome work people.

Thread has some useful information. It's good to see summary when not reading forums on a weekly basis.

Updated raw2dng.exe (small metadata fix from Andy600).

Many thanks for keeping your tech updated!

Very much thanks to the author of this tool. Where many other tools have failed this one does exactly what is needed to process ML RAW files. It batch-converts RAW files conviniently to DNG sequences without any unnecessary overhead.

You forgot about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering

Ok I see. That is unfortunate. When opening the format card menu I think it shows the free card capacity. Is probably a starting point.

Is probably just 1 line of code.

If the original implementation was well designed that is.

If you turn off/on the camera the space meter is correct. It would be indeed a nifty addition if the card space was updated on Save Finish. You can request this as a feature. Is probably just 1 line of code.

Youtube encodes worse than Vimeo. Don't bother throwing some optimized 4.000 kbit/s file at youtube, because it will re-encode that again to max 4.000 kbit/s (if 1080p) with a high loss of image detail. Use your 10.000 kbit/s and youtube will do its work. You can't improve youtube's encoding quality, however the better your original file, the better the quality if youtube decides to re-encode it later. Personally I throw simple 12.000 kbit/s files at it, as I think it just works fine quality/performance wise. I tested various sizes including 50.000 kbit/s -> don't bother with that high bitrates, because youtube will encode your master file and then encode again from that for user streaming.

Some people are still using builds from July, and that's plain stupid.

Cannot agree with this statement. If an old build works perfectly fine for someones purposes then there is no urgent need to upgrade, since new iterations can also introduce new issues.
However since the topic starter posted this issue I recommend changing ML version and try different CF card.

Very good work. Great action, great camera, great image.

Nice.

i installed ml the first day i got my camera. in fact i just bought canon gear just because of ml. 

By the way, have you got any idea of when will be available an official ML version for the Mark III?

Like Canon taking ML and releasing it as firmware?

That's Strange 
Are you Exporting a avi or a qt ?
Plus if you are working in AE & editing in Premiere Pro Why not use dynamic linking export to NLE
and no need to render out. But to answer your question in Resolve try to export as a DNxHD 444
Or any codec that equal to your source material.
Remember that ever time you make a new generation of your file, you Step on it and reduce some quality
It may no be noticeable but do that 3 or 4 times and it will.
So when every you can its always better to edit or grade raw native when possible.   

Ok man now you lost me

So far I have done basic adjustments to the DNG with ACR, exporting *.avi from AE and then did the edit with those clips in Premiere. Done.

I hated to make subtle changes in Premiere, that's why I would love to color correct from RAW but I can't get my head around how to do it. How do I manage the co-work between Premiere and Resolve? Important to note that I have a few fade transitions in Premiere plus Warp Stabilizer is very important on the footage because I shot handheld.

Do you have tips how to do this?

I did a search on youtube. Is this the desired approach?

Thanks for all the comments.

Pascal, I know it is distracting unfortunately, but I wanted it big enough to spoil the shot in case people download it and use it as their own. All these shots are up for sale at Shutterstock and Pond 5.

Ok I understand that makes sense. Does footage like this sell good on stock websites or is this a rather small market?

I should have read the description. The topic title is misleading. Yeah actually with upscaling you can achieve unlimited Resolution, haha.

Another question:
I installed the Black Magic codec and it is selectable in AE but not in Resolve. Which encoder should be used from Resolve?

My monitor is 2k max

Hello, I found Resolve Export speed is significantly faster than AE by around 300%. While I did not export to the exact same codec (I think), both were choosen to export the same DNG sequence to a 10 bit RGB clip (resulted same size) without effects applied. I enabled the Multiprocessing setting in AE and all cores work at full load, yet Resolve gets the job done faster. Is this common behavior or is there a way to level AE up?

Did you try Any Quick Time Codec ?
The Best Choice is to retain the RGB  or 444.
I always use QT Codec on pc or mac,
And yes the AVI uncompressed is 8Bit but its also a RGB or 444.
Avi's are very Chunky, where QT's use compressing in away to keep them light but with no  detail or color loss.
Here is the BlackMagic link to the desktop Video ,install this and you will have all the Blackmagic codec.

There will install the AVI & QT versions. Choose BlackMagic 10Bit RGB Codec on export, from the drop down menu, select Trillons+ .
If you what the maximum Color depth, made you project 32bit Float instead of 16bit.
But a lot of people will not agree with me on this but i use these setup when working on the PC.

Thank you very much. I am trying this now!
Edit: seems to work very good. The mov files are larger than the AVI but seem to playback. Will give this a shot and re-export all the footage.

I changed to Blackmagic 10 bit codec and the problem is gone.

Hi.

If I add a v210 10-bit yuv clip to a Adobe Premiere preview window it shows large stripes. Can this be fixed or is this a common problem?

See image here:

Wow, this was brilliant. The colors are beautiful. The scenes are a blast. Thank you for the tips in the description too.
One critique though: your logo is way too large on the video and takes away little quality.

In Submenu "Format Options" from Render Dialog I see following options:

• DV (24p Advanced)
• DV NTSC
• DV PAL
• Intel IYUV Codec
• Lagarith Lossless Codec
• Uncompressed UYVY 422 8bit
• V210 10-bit YUV
• None

Currently "None" is selected. What does "None" stand for? How much color depth does it have? What does V210 stand for? Does this mean 2:1:0 Chroma?

Thanks man. That was helpful already. Yes I use premiere too. I watched the tutorial and understand now. So ideally I want to look for 4:4:4 chroma and highest bit possible right? Uncompressed AVI has 8 bit right? I will look into the Blackmagic Codec and see if I can get it running. The main improvement will be additional 2 bit color information is that right? Do you know if there are even better options performance/data wise?
