What kind of sharpness and denoise settings have u been using in Lightroom to get the best out of your shots?

And do you resize in lightroom/photoshop or in video editing software?

Here is some test footage straight from camera. No grading no nothing (WB and exposure done in Lightroom). I'm really pleased to see how crisp and clean the image is. a bit of antializing but not bad i guess.

settings:
1584x1058
23.976 fps
upressed to
16:9 1080p (+ some 2.35 cropping)

I can shoot that continously. with my trancend 64gb 1000x udma 7

There is one frame drop in the 2.35 crop but my card wasn't warm.

With external monitor this 50d is a BEAST!

BTW: does anyone know a goodway to reduce or completely remove the chroma noise?

@Andy

HAHAHA how dumb of me, ok so i'll be using M mode in the future it is working now.
one more thing! is it possible to have native iso values only like 100 200 400 800 1600. The ones in between have canon digital iso value of -0.3 EV. I mean when u are changing iso I would like to have only the native iso values at my disposal

ah nevermind found it incamera. i came from the 60d so the gui is a bit different

thanks agains and sorry

@ike - are you using a custom mode (C1 or C2)? If so it will restore ISO, WB etc to what you saved them as.

My latest builds are here:-

Magic - https://bitbucket.org/andy600/andy50d/downloads
Tragic - https://bitbucket.org/andy600/tl50d/downloads

Both stable

Im using your magic build now and still it doesnt restore ISO or WB and im using C2

What builds are people currenty using?

I used Gregory's jul27, but whenever I boot my camera iso jumps to 3200 for no reason.
Also when i adjust iso my camera doesnt use canons iso but the equvailent.
Also when i stop my recording i need to hit info a couple of times to get the screen information back.
There is propably some problems with saving the config file or something. Some settings just seem to stay on every startup even though i have changed and saved the new ones.

Thanks

PS.

Skin tones: I softened the entirety of the mid to high range and overexposed for the skintones. Nice bloomy, soft look.

Do you mean unsharpening mid to highs? or what do you mean by softening?

OK thank you!

I have another problem.
All my shots have WB value of 4654 when i extract them with raw2dng. I have tried different values in-camera but nothing helps. So all my shots are a bit to the purple.

Any ideas?

Could someone explain me how to get 1:1 cropmode out of my 50d since i dont understand if its the same thing as 5x zoom or something else? explaining the 3x zoom would be nice aswell.

Thank u! i think it worked out now. i merged the files together and extracted the dngs with raw2dng
BUT i had some frames that had size of 0bytes??. I could open them and they showed a frame that was intact.
any ideas?

Hello!

All the frames in each of my shot is totally covered in pink hue.
Im using trancend udma 7 64gb 1000X card.
And I was using raw2dng.

I tried formatting, re-installing and warming up the card but nothing helped. all frames are pink.

any ideas?
