I am enjoy to work with magic lantern. One thing is I hate about view play video on camera because it can't do the back. When I am at play mode and wanted to check out another video, I have to exit the magic lantern and go to view another video. I film blind most time, so I need to look few videos before I film again.

I use my 7D with magic lantern

I hope you like this video. I filmed on 7D

look like this embed is not working

I really like your video. Very nice!

I hope you like the video. I use night January 03 2015 built on my 7D.

I like to report about Aug 20 2014 version on 7D and went to an anime convention. I filmed at 1280x514, 16:6 and 60fps, and I was surprised the version can record in continue on my fastest card. However, I still get few corrupted pink frames. It is headache to look for the pink frames. When I worked with a cosplayer, I turned my camera on and adjust exposure and focus right way. Sometime, it crashed like won't allow me to start the record after the adjust. I had to turn off and turn on to record! I don't have time to reproduce the problem. I think it crashed because I did not let the camera to load magic lantern program first when I start work with my setting. I will look at it this weekend. Is there a program can detect a bad pink frame, remove it and rename whole image sequence?

I used my 7D with nightly Aug 20 2014 version. I filmed at RAW, 60 fps and 1280x514. I hope you like it 

blackjack, what problem are you having with fps override? 60fps works fine for me, it's 62 that corrupts live view

Never mind, I tried another test and found it works. I think I screwed some setting last night.

Just tried FPS Override... i extracted the MLV file and frames doesnt hold the data.. all i received is vertical lines in those DNG files.

Anyone else tested??

Yes, it is can be challenge to find 60 fps on 7D subject. I just use old built version which is working well. New version is not stable for 60 fps.  All them were a bit different set but I found a good setting for me. I used 1280x494 at 1.85:1, stretched at 1.66 and cropped at 1280x720. I hoped new FPS override will fix on 60 fps but it doesn't work on my 7D. Maybe it will work on different 7D.

here are links that I filmed at 60 fps on my 7D.

Hi, I am new to the forum. I am a 600D user. I want to upgrade to 7D only for ML RAW. Since 5D Mark iii is too expensive I have the only choice of 7D. Can anyone say at what maximum resolution 7D can shoot continuous RAW with a LEXAR 1000X CF?

Maybe you would want to wait for 7D mark II. Many developers don't like to work on 7D.

nice videos.
what lens did  you use ? which aperture ?
steadycam ?

I use Tokina 11-16 mm, 2.8f. I have to use between 4.0 to 5.0 aperture for movement. Yes, I use steadycam with vest/arms.

The second video here

I used 2013-10-09 built on my 7D camera. I set in 60 fps on 1280x494 at 1.85:1. In post, I ran rawanizer and Davinci Resolve 10 lite to adjust color a bit. It was my first time to use Davinci Resolve. I edited the videos in Edius 5. I hope you like it

Before one percent separated between magic lantern and tragic lantern, I had his firmware. I was able to record 1280 at 60 fps for 2000 to 4000 frames without skipping. I installed new night firmware (5/7/14) and could not record at the same setting as I did. It will record only 10 to 20 frames. I tried to change some setting to improve performance, but it did not. Is there a way to change an option to increase performance? or turn off "safe"?

I made short raw video from my 7D; however, I could not remember which I use version of ML. It is few months old ago. Maybe it is onepercent's 10/11/13 version.

Unfortunately nobody could reproduce the bug and it is totally unpredictable.
The symptom is the AF goes crazy, like not focusing to the target but hunting on the whole focus range and stops at the nearest point (even if the focus hunting is off). Sometimes the change of the AF mode helps but sometimes you have to remove ML completely (and also remove battery) to get back the working AF.
That's the main reason why I'm not using ML in my photography, I lost some nice action because this bug so when I go to the field I always turn off ML.

I see. I decided to format on another memory card to shoot but found that I have newer version on another memory card. I tried AF out again, and it worked again. I switched back to older memory card with the problem and removed my battery. Now, AF works again on both versions. Unpredictable 

I still use one percent's 9/10/13 built on my 7D. Recently, I started to shoot in photograph and noticed that my zone auto focus doesn't work at all. However it works on single-point auto focus. Is this known issue? I turned all modules off, so I can use canon functions instead magic lantern. Is there a way to get it work again without uninstall magic lantern? I considered to update my 7D to tragic lantern. After, I read the post messages randomly and felt that I am not certain to use new version.

Hello,

I'm new in the forum. After some exausting time searching for 60p in the 7d raw video topic, i haven't found anything.

Is it possible to record 60p ar 1280x720 resolution?

Thank you.

Froess

Yes, it can. You need to play around and find what you like.

I used 720 at 60 fps and no crop. I can't stand with crop but you can use crop and higher resolution. I made two videos with 60 fps but different post process:

I only tried upside down on the LV screen so I'll have to see what it does to a monitor. Maybe thats why it was disabled.

oh, I am sorry. It is my defined word, and my mind thinks a monitor is LV screen on a camera. I don't mean an external monitor. I will write carefully from now.

Last time, I used 30-08-13 britom's build. Now, I try 9-10-13 from 1%'s build and am very impressed that the program is big improved! I got three or four pink frames out of 16 thousand frames, and it was so awesome! Again, I tried to use upsidedown setting on my monitor and got a crash. I just realized that it is not worth time to work on upsidedown for video shooting. The solution is I modify the setting in normal view, then flip my camera and shoot a video. Thank you for the hard work and keep up.

Don't forget about upside down but no rush. I don't test new version to check it out, so I am not sure if it is fixed or not.

I decided to use 30/08/2013 britom's build with raw files and went to an anime convention next day! I used 1280x514, 16:9 and small hacks to make this video. I don't use card warm-up, and the build can push up to 1600 frames. I surprised to find fewer pink corrupted files than previous builds. Some scenes did not generate any corrupted files. I faced two problems.

First, I tried to use upsidedown setting on my monitor, so I can upsidedown my camera and shoot. I noticed that live view was chopped and hoped it doesn't affect the scene video. When I went to home, I discovered that the scene was affected by upsidedown setting. The scene generated 200 pink corrupted out of  600 frames. I should do the test before I go.

Second problem, I turned off global draw and did not know that my memory was about to full. I stopped recording scene and found that my camera was so busy to write for while that I had to wait cosplayer for next scene. After writing, I started the next record, and I turned off/on camera after the instance and found the message: "full memory". I swapped memory cards. At my computer, I discovered that the next scene did not record at all.

Everything is experiment to me! I am so amazed to see the build did not use a lot energy from battery; in fact, my 7D wrote 22 GB of raw files and used ONE bar of battery. If I use canon's standard video process, I am sure my battery will dead at end of day. I am sure my video can improve more but am doing it as hobby. I am happy with the result.

For vertical stripes problem, try disabling highlight tone priority, low iso noise reduction and long exposure noise reduction in camera (Canon Menu)

@blackjack102 something serious is wrong with your video. When you record in RAW image should be quite noticeably sharper and dynamic range is way to wider.
But remember you need to be working in 16-bit workspace to harnes the power of RAW (because this ML RAW is 14-bit, as Canon RAW pictures)

You are right. I was doing very wrong at post processing like everything setting was off and used very high ISO at that time. I made another sample with 16-bit workspace and got same result like another posts with good samples above. Thank you for the point that was helpful!

Another question:

Please let me know if the question was already here. Is it possible to record 1280x720 without cropping the picture? So, I would like to record the same area as the standard video-mode would do.

Same here, I like to shoot at standard video mode in raw as well. I set up my camera: no crop, 1280x514 and 16:9 ratio. I made a sample video on my youtube channel, unlisted, and I stretched the frames to 1280x720. Here the video is:

It looks like standard video mode to me and it is good enough for me. I recorded the video at 8:30pm when the sun is down. I adjusted the raw video to look like a daylight.

I have questions. I made the video above here, and I was followed an instruction and installed on my 7D four days ago. The version did not have live view while record raw video. I managed one of scene has 1,500 frames without stop itself. Now, I install newer version from britom's built (working live view) and notice that my set (no crop, 1280x514 and 16:9 ratio) could not do more than 900 or 1100 frames depends on another options. I tried different setting like small hack, off global draw or etc. Now, I can't get continuous with this setting, but I can't recall if old version that I got continuous message or not. That was me or new version lose some write speed. My card is 16gb extreme 90mbps udma 7 sandisk, and I know 7D can't use udma 7.

How do I delete a video from camera? or have to manual?
