Thanks Chmee for implementing the chromasoothing!

650d user here. Does this have Chromasoothing or any way to deal with the pink dot issue?
If not would it be possible to integrate it?

Insane, Think it will work with the bmpcc?

Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my DSLR from a 650D, not really sure what the best next camera is? 7D? I'd like to be able to record RAW in a higher resolution than 1476x626 as the 650D limits at 32mb/s (95mb/s Sandisk). Could anyone shed some light on a worthy upgrade?

Thanks!

You can do 720p continuous raw on the 650d, you should get a better sd card.

Is there any way to integrate pink dot removal or chromasoothing for us t4i users?

Hi all!

First of all, big thank you to the whole team for doing such a great job on developing magic lantern for canon 650D. It is good to know, that you don't have to have canon 5D to be part of the community

I do have a quick question: is it possible to remove pink dots from the 50fps footage from 650D? I managed to record a 30-sec clip on 50fps (720) but because the footage is squashed the pink dot remover seems to fail to remove the dots. Or is it possible to resize the dng's to the right resolution and then process it with pink dot remover?

It would be a bomb to have the possibility of shooting short clips with 50fps.

Big thanks in advance!

Nope, but chromasoothing seems to solve the pink dot problem regardless of resolution.

I hope not, this is the tool I thought had the most convenience and potential.

Does 1.1.5 have chromasoothing?

Film convert's suggested acr setting for ml footage

This gives you incredibly and i mean INCREDIBLY noisey video...
I still think that my method of using visionlog and setting the contrast to -50 is much better.

Hey everybody!

Sorry for leaving the project a bit abandoned... I started coding it because I was on a 3 month holiday, and now I'm back! That and also that I don't quite see the point now con continuing until there's a command line for Cinema DNG's. Which are your workflows? Davinci Resolve? AE feels like too much time really...

I want to continue it, for now I don't have the time really... maybe I can add the update for Dual Iso which is really easy and takes 0 time... but it'll be nice really to have access to Cinema DNG's, because that's the way to go!

Cheers guys!!

chmee released the source for his raw to cdng.

it's been out for about 8 days, has any one used it? if so, where there problems?

Thanks for your reply.

Some questions I still have - what does proxies do? I click on create proxy but nothing happen. Second, mind making a video of the steps using this programme? my footage right now looks crap, I am sure something went wrong in the workflow.

You basically use them as a way to cut your footage in real time, then you can replace said footage with your ae raw files.

To clarify: Proxies are not working properly, some problem with ufraw, will switch to Raw Therapee as someone recommended here. And the speed, that's mlv_dump guys! It is slow by definition, uses very little of the cpu. It does chroma smoothing and vertical stripe fix, that's great. Once I tried with mlv2dng which is amazingly fast, but it doesnt do audio so it was slower... and every now and then it crashed, so ended up dropping it.

I think out of all the post processing solution available for windows, yours is the best organized and most convenient. Once the proxie option gets fixed on windows 8 systems (atleast in my case) it will be the fastest way of getting something usable out of your camera and into an nle. It would also be sweet to be able to export only proxies. I appreciate your work and thanks!

I'm getting good results with using the vision log acr profile, setting the contrast slider all the way to the left in acr and then using the 5d mark III raw setting in film convert.

Two minutes of raw video is 4 gigabytes.
Depends on how much time you have to do post processing.

That sounds more like, color correcting than color grading, if not then please excuse my ignorance.

doesn't load for me, any one having the same problem?

Yeah, I just use a windows machine and format the card exFAT with 128 KB block size (only use this large block size with cards you will use raw video or else you will waste a lot if space).

See my ML RAW work flow videos here: https://vimeo.com/jamesdesira/

I haven't been able to get it to work.
The card doesn't take the firmware update like it does when i have it to fat32
I'm following the instructions from page one of the 650d magic lantern thread.
Works 100% fine with fat32 doesn't work at all for me in exFAT.
any one know what i am doing wrong or have any suggestions as what i can do to make it happen?

it can't create proxy on win 8?
only errors, dng files created.

I'm getting the same errors on windows 8.1

Hi all,
Whoever is using Resolve and Premiere CS6, please holler back
Here's what i use/do: DNGs come from Tonybeccar's MLV Converter, imported in DaVinci Resolve for basic image adjustments (no sharpening applied at this stage), then i export some proxies and proceed in Premiere CS6. After the cut i go back to Resolve for final CC. Here's the deal: i don't have Resolve's Noise Reduction (free version) but i do have Neat Video for Premiere. How should i proceed in order to keep the current workflow, but apply Noise Reduction in Premiere?
I was thinking... export a high-res color corrected material on the first place from Resolve into Premiere, NR there and proceed with the cut, but sometimes you go for the final look after you have your final cut... so, a bit lost here... Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time/expertise, in advance... and have a fineee weekend

tag for later, will add my thoughts when i try it.

Hello AleXis,

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  I was speaking towards having a bootable ML install on the SD card for the MKIII, not just general use.

I think thats called "card spanning"?

Grr, still this bug. Will have to put a definite solution to it, it's in my to do list. But I think regardless of that error the programs keeps on going. It's an "interface" error regarding the progress bar. And the ufraw-batch thing, yeah it's done it a couple times for me.. it's not a good program it seems. But I gotta process the tiffs somehow for ffmpeg. I will try with nconvert and see how well it process the dng's. For now I get a pink cast all over the dng's, I can fix it with "autobalance" but it changes a lot of things i don't want. Any help would be appreciated!

Wish i knew how to help, other than reporting the results I'm getting.
I updated to 1.9.2,
Ok, so i get the ufraw error every time i try to make proxies for that longer 4gb file. I starts somewhere at the beginning of making the tif files. I let it run with pressing "close program on the ufraw error and it finished making the tifs but did nothing with them. The progress bar worked and updated but hung up  (got to 66%) after the tiffs were made. I gave it another 30 minutes then pressed close program on the ufraw error, my status bar reverted to 33% and there was a 96mb mov file in my proxies folder. Tried to open it in premier and i got a file import failure.

I didnt get any errors when a I ran a significantly smaller (400 frames) file.

I am using v2.3.NEXT.2014Mar11.650D104 and cannot find how to restore the WB setting to Auto. I have tried searching and the advice given (use the Q button to select Quick Menu, select the blank WB submenu and then use the top dial to adjust the WB back to Auto) does not work for me. The top dial does not change the WB selection, and anyway it is already showing Auto, but my ML menu is still showing a Kelvin number for WB.

Can anyone please help?

Richard

from what I have played around with, the way you go back to auto is by doing it in the canon menu. So press "Q" and set your wb to auto.

So i got this error today while trying to format a 4gb mlv file with proress444 proxies.
Im on windows 8.1 using mlv to dng batch 1.9.1

I tried to send it through again and i got this

Then this


Tried it again, here is what the error message says

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Any one know whats going on?

as far as i know, you are out of luck, decrease the resolution and you will be fine.

I've been reading that it does 720p continuous in regular raw mode when formatted to exFAT. I returned my 80mb/s card and got a 95mb/s (might get a bmpcc soon). Does any one know if there are extra steps when formatting to exfat or do i just format it and proceed as usual?

Ah i see.
So i returned my san disk extreme 80mb/s uhs-1 class 10 32gb card and got a san disk extreme pro 95mb/s uhs-1 class 10 32gb card (it was $10 more and might have).
Whats the procedure for exFAT? Do i just format my card as exFAT and then the proceed as usual, or is there an extra step?
thanks guys.

Also, would any one be kind enough to share their workflow?
