Hi everyone,
I am trying to shoot slow motion with the latest MLV. I had 720p and 50fps in canon menu, in magic lantern I had 1728 x 458 , i converted to DNG using rare vision and imported in davinci resolve it could play as slow motion and when I just exported from davinci , I played it back it wasn't slow motion anymore. Please can someone tell me what am doing wrong. Am shooting this weekend. I need slow mo. Am using canon mark iii

Hi Chadmuffin,
thanks for your help. Just a few clarifications, if i wanna have mixed frame rates e.g music video would it be better then to shoot with an aspect ratio of 2.35.1 for letter boxing throughout the video ? and again i actually tried shooting slow mo and it premiere pro was slow mo but when i exported as proress from davinci resolve it wasn't slow any longer. Please kindly tell me what am doing wrong

regards

hi everyone, am using the Latest MLV firmware and i wanna be able to shoot and mix slow motion videos with normal 24 fps videos. Please can someone explain to me how to go about it? Will aswell like to know how to deal with cropmarks (letter box ) if i wanna go for 24fps and slow mo in thesame video, as i love letter boxing . One last one will be how to stretch in Post cause i learnt images needs to be stretched, will like to know which programs and which menu to navigate to inorder to stretch. Am using Premiere pro and Davinci Resolve.
Looking forward to your answers.

Thanks

Am sorry if that was the wrong sharpness of video. So whats the right way to get the sharpest MLV footage??

@Kharak, thanks for responding. I tried with ISO 800. F8 and 25 frames doesnt look that bad but micro contrast, overall contrast and highlights shadow ratio is what i dont understand, i would have tried it aswell. So please kindly explain. thanks

F 4.5-5.6 is a good F-stop rane for sharper images and some say F 8 is sharpest for all lenses. Especially on Full frame you need to go down some stops for a sharper image.

Resolve Sharpness is apparantly (from what I have read) much better at sharpening than ACR

Then there is Micro Contrast

And overall contrast of course.

Colour grade

Highlight/shadow ratio

A lot of things play in when you want a sharp image.

Lower ISO's too 200 - 800

@ Walter Schulz i just shot with MLV and converted via raw magic rare vision 16bit and then into davinci resolve, then i exported apple proress 442 hq. ISO was 800. F8, 25 frames. Am wondering what the best Workflow am using Davinci resolve and premiere Pro to edit. Please help with the best workflow for MLV as am new to this
