Why is the 720 recording seem to take a huge hit on quality when shooting raw(in comparison to 1080)?
Now, I know that of course 1080 should be a better picture than 720.
But for some reason, it seems to me that 720 isn't even close in quality to the 1080 raw recording.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting that maybe I've over looked?

I just posted that new build. He was having issues with older one for some reason. It has worked fine for others. I just sent him a message to try to help him.

ok. I appreciate it. Ill edit the link in my newest compiled build thread, if you dont mind

5D3 update files. Replace existing files.

includes cf_acc: module as noted on http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5471.msg36588#msg36588

is this a build with the issues that everyone is mentioning just a few posts above yours?

Hi everyone,
today it seems that everything is working fine. I reached an acceptable res of 1880x720 without frame dropping.
I just want to post a frame from a RAW clip.


I shot this wit a 50mm 1.4, ISO 800. I was testing a low light situation. I used Neat video too, but this noise still remain. Have you have any chance to test low light/high ISO?

Is that a microphone in the briefcase? If so, I think I may have the same one lol.

Perfect! I guess I can stop working on the sLUT then. I really like visioncolor/tech, it's a good improvement on prolost.

If you have premiere, why not use the log setting after converting to pro res?
it's in effect>cineon.
or something like that.

You may not need to worry about the raw2dng  file if you have one. There was a update about 2 days ago. If you already have that current version, you do not need to replace it.

O Ok, thanks for clarifying that.
Im using the one built by a forum member here.
the mac app version.
Hopefully it doesn't need an update. If you don't mind me asking, what was updated in it? Was it the ability to correctly split the 4gb files or something like that?

Current 5D3 update files only : https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7QlH_BH2m32cW5mUW80VFlzSWc&usp=sharing

Complete Current 5D3 : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7QlH_BH2m32dWpOOEpkWktXMXM/edit?usp=sharing

Current as of last commit : fixed edmac_memcpy to clean up CBRs correctly.

I have a question. Is there a reason as to why you add the 'raw2dng' file in all of the uploads?
Im just curious if thats something thats supposed to be placed on my memory stick, or is that simply for the computer to convert the recorded raw files and you only upload so the downloaders will have it in case they never got it?

Anyway to to format the camera in camera, while keeping Magic Lantern?
Im talking about the latest compiled May 16th build

I seen it once before, but can't seem to find it. Anyone know a good source to learn how to compile the builds?
I notice there are new additions to ML every few hours and would like to know how I can build them(for installation)


https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/commits/ecc6fd42fb3afbc122849ba929168340574d41aa

I am  on a mac system, if that information helps.

Hi Guys.  A few observations if you can confirm them:

It seems that on all cameras/card combinations frame skipping is an issue including the 5d3.  I have the 5d3 with 128GB 1000x KomputerBay CF card.  I start skipping frames about 10 seconds in at 1920x1080.  I also skip frames at: 1920x960, 1920x840.  I do not skip frames at 1920x720.  I'm still wondering how others are reporting that they are recording 1920x1080 video on the 5d3.  I'm thinking the announcements around the internet are premature about 1080p RAW on the 5d3 being a reality.

The encoding of RAW into a finalized usable clip is very slow and tedious.  While the workflow may improve, I don't see the encoding time improving drastically when working with large amounts of footage.

Is the development process showing signs of cracking these issues?  Are we even sure that we're not bumping into limitations of the camera controller on the 5d3 causing frame skipping?  I guessuntil someone gets the 1066 card we will not know...

I've been holding back on the c100 until I hear where this is going, but this does not yet seem quite the holy grail that Cinema5d and nofilmschool are putting out on the street...

Your card is too slow. Thats a cheaper card which really doesnt have the write speed that the Lexar(I believe) has

[camera was not shut down cleanly. skipping module loading]

Does anyone know why I continue getting this error when I boot the camera(5D3)
camera was not shut down cleanly. skipping module loading

I get that message after I boot the camera. but it only happens after I've recorded a raw video, then shut the camera down.
Only way I know to get rid of the message is to format the card and reinstall ML

So, everyone keeps mentioning crop and normal mode.
if I record with any 720 settings that would be a crop?
what are the true HD settings that I can record with?

I managed to build the nightly for my 5D2 and 1280x720 raw video is as lovely as expected, but it doesn't seem to want to let me record at 1920x1080 or higher. Is this a limitation of the 5D2 versus the newer cameras?



(Yes, 1280 is the right height; I'm a sucker for 3:2)

I believe that in some cases, it's a card speed limitation.

DO I need to organize all of these files into how the normal ML firmaware looks?

click 'file' at the top and download.
That will download all of the files and they will be correctly organized

Still hasn't worked.

I took the 5D3 ML, and the 5D2 firmware, it all runs perfectly fine, but still missing the tab/ ability to shoot RAW.

Try the link posted 3 or so posts ago.
It is May 14th build, and it DOES include the M tab which allows you to load the module for raw recording. I just tested it. Seems to work just fine.

Devs, I like the addition of it telling me how fast my card must be to write the files(based on the dimensions that I put) nice touch!

Make sure that the MODULES folder is inside the ML folder. I had the same issue. I took the latest firmware and added in Couttes 5d2 fir from below

Is that May 14th build?

I just installed the May 14th build on my 5d3. But I dont see the 'M' tab in the Magic Lantern Menu. So how am I supposed to enable the raw recording on this build?

I've updated the file in the link so osx user try and report back, if now it works.

which link?

I really wish I knew coding now. you all are REALLY DOING SOME AMAAAAAAAZING shit in such a short amount of time.

They are saved in the Resources folder.SWEET!!!

hahaha they are in there lol.
thx! Guess it did work

which folder?

EDIT: removed download link until not fixed the .app

I placed the app that you created, and my raw file in the same folder. I had assumed that the DNG's would just pop up in that folder

OOOOHHHHHHHHHH SHIT!
It WORKED!!!!!!
THANKS!
Thanks to the devs, thanks to you scrax, and thanks to the others patient enough to continuously trying to help me. It's truly appreciated

Damn! it didn't work. It looked like it was working, but when it was all said and done, there were no DNG's created in the folder.
I think theres something wrong with MY specific computer. or am I really messing this up royally

I've no raw files to test it, here a maybe more easy to use app for mac: https://bitbucket.org/600dplus/magic-lantern-things/downloads/raw2dng.app.zip

drag your raw file on the MLicon and it should start conversion

OOOOHHHHHHHHHH SHIT!
It WORKED!!!!!!
THANKS!
