Hi guys!
Im searching for the "perfect" build for me:
Im filming on a 5D3 with an anamorphic lense, so im searching for a build with: high vertical resolution (ideally 1920 or higher) a centered crop, possibility to use the 5x / 10x zoom while filming for focus aid and ideally 12-14bit lossless.
Im using dannes crop rec at the moment which is a great build, but it doesnt offer all these things in one pre-set.
So maybe someone got some ideas for me

Hi Danne and guys!
Some questions about the build:
Im filming with a (real) anamorphic 2x lense, so i got some "strange" requirements:
Centered crop mode is most important to me, since i get vignetting. Is the 3,3k 1:1 x5 centered? the 3,5k preset got "centered" in the name, but i dont really like it since it gives me a way lower vertical resolution.
Also the 3k 1:1 mode gives me the highest vertical resolution (1920 instead of 1836) but square pixel preview is broken, so i cant use the 5x or 10x zoom while filming as a "realtime" focus hack..
any ideas which pre set / maybe even different build would give me the best of all those requirements?
(looking for the highest vertical resolution in a centered crop with the option to use the 5x or 10x zoom while filming)
also i got a question about the 14 bit lossless format: since it says iso <100 recommended: how do i need to understand that? whats the matter with isos over 100?
how does it compare to the 12bit uncompressed?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Danne!
I also have a question around your MLV version. I use it with an anamorphic lense on a 35mm objective, so the 3,3 and 3,5k 5x centered modes are pretty usefull for me.
How does it come that the 3,3k preset offeres a higher vertical resolution? Are there any differences in quality between those two presets?
Also: when i chose 14-bit lossless in the RAW Video tab and then alter the Bitdepth tab in the Movie tab, does that affect the footage in any way?


Thanks for your work!

Hi!

Im searching for any documentation on the FFmppeg Vidstab feature in the magic lantern app.

When im exporting my MLV files as an .Mov using the H265 ffmpeg movie export settings with the stabiliser checked in the mlv app i dont see any results.
It looks like nothing is changing at all. Im using version 1.14.

Maybe somebody can help with this feature?

Would be really neat to do stabilisation using MLV App
