Hi there!

I love MLRawViewer so much, mainly for its C-Log profile and simplicity of use, but it bugged me that it won't open 10bit and 12bit .MLV files.
Also another thing was, that i could't fix black level issues so I had to fix those corrupted files in MLVProducer instead.

So I created this Windows batch script for mlv_dump to help me with all of this.

Code Select Expand

if not exist ".\MLV_Fixed_14bit_2048" mkdir .\MLV_Fixed_14bit_2048
for %%f in (*.MLV) do mlv_dump -o .\MLV_Fixed_14bit_2048\%%f.MLV -b 14 --black-fix=2048 %%f

It's super simple. You just copy this .bat file along with mlv_dump.exe to a folder with your .MLV files and run the .bat file.
It will look for the .MLV files and "convert" them into 14bit. It also fixes the black level to value to 2048.
-note: you can edit the script for a different value



Now you can open those "converted" files with MLRawViewer  .

Thank you very much to everyone for kind words .

@DeafEyeJedi I like to play around with RAW on this little sweet camera, It's a lot of fun .

The thing I'm a little unhappy about are skintones. I was editing it on and old HP laptop (not a Mac and the display on that thing is not something a videos should be color graded on... ouch...  they turned out to be quite different from what i was seeing on that laptop.

But other than that, I'm pretty happy with the overal result (yes, the flickering is bothering me a little, but I didn't have patience to work on that in post, so I did leave it like it is).

I really like the profile of C-Log. It's my most favourite for 600D RAW.

Grading was actually super easy (I wouldn't consider it "grading" tbh) . I just used one adjustment layer in Premiere CC, put one LUT to convert C-Log to LOG and then apply another LUT, in this case Osiris KDX (at 50% opacity, or something around that value). And of course, before that, in MLRawViewer I adjusted expousure and WB.

Timelapse shots were edited in Adobe ACR as DNG frames.

Hi everyone! 

I want to share my video that I made about Prague city.

The entire video was shot on 600D in MLV.
I used latest nightly build.

Resolution was set to 1536x642p (2.39:1) 24 fps. Buffer would let me take 5 seconds worth of video at a time, so in my opinion - not that bad
Timelapse scenes were filmed using FPS override (somewhere between 0.2 fps and 1 fps, depending on the lighting conditions) mode at maximum resolution (1728x724p).

Lenses used: Tamron 10-24mm, EF-S 18-55mm (kit lens).
Stabilisation: Camtree Wonder-3

Exported to ProRes in MLRawViewer (C-Log applied). Edited and color corrected in Premiere CC (Osiris KDX LUT at 50% opacity).

Yes you can use whatever FPS you want, but maximum resolution at 16:9 aspect ratio on 600D is 1728x972. So if you want to record continuously, you have to set FPS to max. 7FPS in order to stay within 21Mb/s limit.

Tahnks! 
For Warp i used: Method(Position), Framing(Stabilize, Crop, Auto scale), Smoothness(10%). All shots were hand held.

Stabilized using Warp Stabilizer, so final resolution is a bit smaller, but still a good result.

So i was testing a new workflow with Ginger HDR and Premiere Pro. It is super awesome! 

Here are some specs:
Tragic Lantern 2.0 SixThirty build
SanDisk SDHC Extreme 45MB/s
resolution: (2.39:1) 1408x592p (@24 fps, global draw off) it gives about 180 frames (7 seconds) until buffer is filled
mic: Zoom H1
software dolly was used on some of the shots

John.

Just a quick guess:
You are using auto-exposure in ACR.

Thanks glubber,
no, that wasn't the case. I found out that the problem was with my photo viewer. I am using Picassa to view DNG files and it seems like it applies some corrections to individual frames. I rendered the frames as a video clip and there was no luma shifting 
But i really appreciate your help, thank you 

John.

I have the same problem but luma is shifting even before it opens up in ACR. Here i uploaded 5 DNGs straight from the raw2dng (also same problem when processing in raw2cdng). Due to this almost all of my 50 shots are completely unusable  So in my case the problem must be either the camera or raw2dng.

I have a very very stupid question. I already have Magic Lantern 2.3 but my card reader is broken and i'm in a place where i can't buy another.Is it possible to install tragic lantern without a card reader?

maybe connect your camera (with SD card inside) via USB cable to your PC? Just an idea, idk if it works.

Tried the same on my 600D without success. Cant install ML. Says: "Update file cannot be found".
Which version did you install, latest nightly? See that you have 3 version of autoexec.bin.

you need to have "600D-102.FIR" on your SD card. I was testing also other builds of ML at that time, that's why i had 3 different autoexec files on my card.

Quick test of color correction capabilities of 14-bit RAW.
1728x692 @ 12fps

I made a quick benchmark of a SanDisk Extreme 45MB/s. After formatting it to exFAT file system, it gives stable 20+MB write speeds.
