How do I set up my mk III to succeed in filming with 48 fps continuos at 1920x1080 without a break (AND what not to set up...) - I tried everything 😟
Please give me a recipe how and where to fill in what in the Magic Lantern menus...
I will be forever grateful!!!

If you work in Photoshop, chose cDNG, this is unprocessed (or at least lossless) and has full raw info availlable.

What is the difference between uncompressed and lossless cDNG and what would you recommend me to continue with into Photoshop where I will work with video as with my former art images?

Really strange...

I downloaded your MacBeth MLV and exported as DNGs w/o a problem, be it lossless or uncompressed. Both are exported fine!

When exported to another harddrive it worked....

Yes, for example. You can post the link here, or you send it to me via PM.

here it is https://we.tl/XjHydVtxIb

Please upload a file which produces this error! We'll search for what is going on there...

It is an 667 MB MLV file - do I send it with WeTransfer and in that case to what adress?

If you work in Photoshop, chose cDNG, this is unprocessed (or at least lossless) and has full raw info availlable.

I tried in vain with both Cinema DNG uncompressed and lossless but got the following answer (see attachment)

Uncompressed avi is not 16bit atm, right. I changed the format to 16bit for a quick test: VLC tells in metadata viewer it is 16bit, but it is impossible to decode. All other player also can't play it back...

For me working as an artist with color and changing A LOT of the content it is almost mandatory to work in 16 bit. Do you have any suggestion how to achieve this with the MLV app? Or ideas?
I work mainly in photoshop.

I am missing one file format...
Instead of the cumbersome but invaluable Tiff sequence with its 16 bits of colour I would like something like the Avi uncompressed (unfortunately still smaller than the original mlv file though...) but with 16 bits of colour and at least the same size as the mlv.
Is this possible to achieve?

[Edit]

This won't be possible, because then it is no more possible to select "some" (not all) clips and export only these or apply receipts on them. I you like to switch faster between the clips, you can use J and K.

I got the hinge of it now - the J and the K made it and I also succeeded in exporting more than one file at a time to avi (by the way is the avi the best file to export to if you want the maximized information when importing to Photoshop?)

Edit: BUT when I export the clips to the same folder as the MLV files tha app crashes...

As for the info of the different clips like length I looked at the timewindow at the top and there was no change BUT by opening the info window I could see the difference between the clips (thanks to J and K  )

All the best to your work with this incredible app. I must tell you I just stumbled across it after trying out the MLFS one and thanked my lucky star 

Hi,
THANKS for a wonderful app - exactly what was needed 

Here are just a few things from a user perspective I wonder If you could look into:
- using Commando Z on a Mac does not work when changing settings in the menus i.e. you change something and then wants to get back to the number prior to that (and also if possible to get back to default setting by double clicking on it as in Lightroom)
- not having to double click on each clip to mark it, see the length of it and work with it - a single click must suffice
- exporting many MLV files to AVI at the same time does not work
- is it possible to show sound as two separate stereo channels?

GREAT work anyway!

Why does Canon Utility not recognize videos in my MK III when trying to transfer to a computer via USB?
Why does the CF card in the camera not show up in the file menu on my computer when the camera is connected via USB cable?

Are these thing possible to fix? I don´t want to take out the delicate and expensive CF card after every photosession and put it into a cardreader with a possible risk to damage it in the end...

Thank you Walter , 18 MByte/s is slow....

...still setting my hope for the Canon Mk IV becoming the beast it really is set forth by the energy of Magic Lantern! 👍
(you just have to lure it out of its cave....)

   Hi,

With the 5D Mark IV Canon have copied Magic Lanterns HDR movie situation but made a rather poor in-camera version.
Why not do a three videos-in-one variant with all those resources there is in the Mark IV camera. A version similar to the original one in Magic Lantern but with a decent fps speed (so people don't look like Charlie Chaplin) and last but not least a better abillity to "see in the dark" - as well as make recordings....
And RAW if possible...

From a video artist mainly working nighttime...

....and if possible I wish I could use the full screen of the MK IV viewer for filming i.e. ending in 1920 x 1280 px

I do not think it is possible to record 4K (or 6K...) RAW on the media setup provided by Canon inside Mk IV but with an Atomos or similar EXTERNAL recorder it should be manageable....

Today everybody is trying to extend the dynamic range for film. You took the first step with the HDR setup. Canon copied you in Mk IV. Why not copy yourself again with bisecting the fps another round down to 15 fps!? Or/and try a different road and find a new solution extending the wonderful (!?) software inside Mk IV to new Wuthering heights by way of The Magic Lantern

I am willing to chip in!

Maybe there is a way to combine the Dual Pixel situation into one entity getting 6K....?

I am a DEVOTED user of Magic Lantern on my mkII....
Also being an artist this is my way to be able to get all what I need for my work not being able to pay a lot for my equipment
If it is possible to make the mkIV shine as well in its context I will be the first to honor this fantastic bunch of guys working in the dark for people like me
THANKS AGAIN ALL OF YOU
