"Melanie - An Affair in Green"
A rather unusual love affair with an unexpected ending.

Edited, Graded & Compositing in DaVinci Resolve Studio.
5D Mark 3, EF 24 - 70mm f/2.8L

Country: Switzerland (English & German subtiles / CC)

Nice to see that this is happening.

I was nearly torn apart, when I mentioned simultaneous RAW & H.264-recording in this forum some years ago ...
Anyway, ML always surprises. It is now my failproof maintool and I love it.

I am still trying to get the best workflow with 5D RAW / audio. So what works for me at the moment is:

When you shoot, you can see the name of the recorded file in the display. The actual time is a part of the file-name. Read it loudly, so you can hear it at the beginning of your external audio-recordings.

For synching each take, I snap my fingers in front of the lens.

In Premiere I mark the snap and link the audiofiles to their video-counterparts (in the timeline).
The linked audio/video can then be pulled back into the project window.

It is just very impolite to tell someone, who asks a question, to go away.
I have used ML for several projects and I have donated.

"Yes its wrong.  It's not an eight core computer. Do us all a favor and don't respond.
A lot of people think they have genius ideas that the ML hasn't thought of"

Shows mainly that the replayer does not know anything more than I do.

RAW and h.264 have already been recorded at the same time. This is possible and has nothing to do with an 8-core computer.
So if audio gets out of sync in the h.264-video as well, I stop asking.
If not, you have synced audio with RAW.

Thank you for your open minded and very competent answer.
You are the center of the world and brainstorming is evil.

Is this approach wrong? If yes, is there someone, who can confirm this?

What about recording a h.264 video (beside RAW) with a very low datarate just to get synchronized audio?

I have read somewhere in this forum that it is possible to record RAW and h.264 at the same time.

With no or garbage video, would this not leave enough processing power / datarate for RAW?

In this way, would there not be perfectly synced audio in the h.264 video (which is also synced to the RAW video)?

Is there no need for this? How do you match your video- and audiofiles if you have 200 takes?
With hearing the (video) files name at the beginning of the audio, you could rename the audiofiles and find the matching videos instantly.

I hope it is possible to read out and display the videofile name while it is recorded.

This is my first post.

Congratulation to all the geniuses working on magic lantern!
(and sorry for my improvised English...)

I have not found a similiar request yet.

It could be helpful, if the actual file name would be displayed and recorded with the synch beep.
Like that I could record my voice reading it and in post match audio and video easily.

I know, I could use a slate, but it would be great to have something similiar internal.
