So I just have to say that RAW video on the 5d3 keeps getting better and better. I am still just blown away with 1920x1080p RAW on the 5D3.
My current favorite is:
1920x1080 23.976 14bit Lossless or uncompressed with sound or proxy. Either way, so good!!!

After converting though MLV App™ to DNG I bring the clips into DaVinci Resolve 15. I then use Resolve's color management to change the input and timeline to Canon cinema gamut c-log 2. After that I usually just white balance in the RAW tab on the color page and then just adjust the lift, gamma, gain, contrast and saturation. And boom!!! All those epic canon colors just burst out.

Resolves editing is getting so much better so I have been cutting on right on the timeline with the native DNGs.

Now I am super scared if my 5D3 dies because I am so attached to RAW video. I already opened it up and fixed a loose live view switch. I also had the shutter replaced. I'm contemplating picking up another used 5d3 just in case.

I doubt canon will step up there video game in the suspected mirrorless FF that much. I hope they do but I am not getting my hopes up. I have more faith in the 5dIV getting ML RAW video before any Canon sub $6000 body gets it. Or gets a decent codec.

Oh gotcha!!! Sorry I just love this app! Can't wait to play with the new release! Thank you!

Hmm I am not able to extract the windows 64bit version after downloading.

Modifying a lua script from a1ex... this is a proud day for me especially since it worked. Thank you thank you thank you for scripting this a1ex!!!

These have shutter speed changes depending on frame rate. The shutter change has to be put after the frame rate change otherwise you will crash the script since the canon wont allow you to use a shutter lower then 1/60 in a 60p mode.

Check this before you use because I KNOW nothing about ML code but I was able to quickly toggle between 1920 2.35:1 24fps and 1920x800 60fps. Much faster. I assume this will only work in manual mode since shutter speed is being modified.

Definitely triple check these before using ha ha warning I stink at this it might break your cam ha ha.

So So So Awesome! I need to try scripting. I have been using ML for to long not to try scripts

BTW, why did you choose 10-bit uncompressed (70%) over 14-bit lossless (50-65%) for 60p? Are you shooting at ISO 6400+ ?

I had some issues when shooting in 14 bit lossless at ISO 100 when shooting up at the trees on overcast day. Using March 10 2018 build 5d3 113.

Can shutter speed be changed with Lua too? 1/125 with 60 or 1/50 for 23.976?

So I absolutely love MLV Lite and the Crop rec 4k module. So many awesome things in the newest build. I had a couple of thoughts.
It would be awesome to be able to get into our favorite crop rec 4k mlv lite settings faster like custom presets. Presests specific to MLV lite and crop rec 4K.

Ex: on 5D3 I use 3k x5 mode so if I went into my hypothetical module I would pick 3k and my settings would come up
3072
2.35:1
23.976
Canon 1920x1080 23.976
x5 zoom
canon zoom enabled
1/50 shutter
12bit lossless
framing
sound on
all gets chosen.

Or my 60fps option:
1920
2.35:1 (1920x800)
60fps
Canon 1280 60p mode
1/125 shutter
10bit uncompressed
Real time live view
No sound
All gets chosen.

I threw the shutter option in there because it's just one more step we don't have to take if we are trying to stick with a certain shutter degree ex 180° shutter.

That way we can get in and out of our favorite crop rec 4k MLV lite settings faster when doing some run and gun.

Also it's real tricky monitoring in the framing modes. I see how they help with write speed and its incredible that we even get framing period but I would love to be able to contribute to better live view. Especially for the less intensive settings.

I realize NONE OF THIS IS AND EASY TASK. And I am sure most of this has been mentioned. I am sorry for my brain storming but I thought I would throw it out there. I'm just a humble tester and user so take this all as a grain of salt. I am overjoyed with 1920x1080 24fps RAW with sound and fast start by itself. Just contributing my thoughts.

MLV.App.v0.15.alpha.Win32.zip worked great! Unfortunately I couldn't get the MLV.App.v0.15.alpha.Win64.static.zip version to extract from the zip.

I can't wait to try the newest build! I love this!

Same!!! the version you sent me is still working great! I have an older CPU and I was having trouble with the other builds. The fast CDNG is awesome. I had some 5D3 footage today that didn't seem to have any vert stripes or bad pix so I blasted that out with the fast CDNG. This is becoming a super awesome MLV tool!!!! Great work!!!

Wow!!!! I finally got a chance to test these in Resolve. I LOVE THEM! Probably my LUT of choice for my next edit. Thank you so much for your hard work with this!
Edit: even tho I live this LUT especially the colors I found the standard lut to be a smidge punchy as Ektar usually is. So I put the key output gain to 0.700 and set the color management to Davinci YRGB Color managed and used arri Log c for Everything. Over all I am VERY impressed with this LUT Bravo!!!!! Thank you for this!

@banertop did you get continuous rec in 3k 1:1? Thats why I suggested 3.5k mode because you can get more reliable 3k.

Or maybe, if someone want to share his settings for shutting in 3k mode...

This video needs small updates but it should still get you 3k continuous. It's also on page one of this topic.

PM me if you need more 3k tips

It makes me sad how some tend to be so impatient on this forum considering all the work that is being done ..... for free. ML RAW on the 5Diii is still such an achievement. At it's price now, what other FF camera Supports 14Bit raw video at 1920x1080?
But at the same time it makes me happy that people want ML so bad. I wish I had the mentality to help code but for now I remain a humble and thankful user.

Hi guys,
hate to ask, ....because i am pretty sure that someone asked this before....but i did not manage to find it......
Is it possible..., or why it is NOT possible, to hack somehow higher resolutions recording in h264 in crop mode....? 

@Banertop I'm not sure this is the correct answer but it takes a lot of processing power to take the raw data and compress it to the very complex algorithms of h.264. The 5diii can do it at 1080p but I doubt high resolution is possible. RAW data is just RAW data taken from the sensor and sent straight to the card with maybe some metadata and other bits of info attached. It takes less battery power then h.264 too. The 10,12,14 bit compression that ML is using is not nearly as complex because it doesn't need to be.

This looks awesome! I'll have to try these later! And stress test them too!

This is awesome news!

Not sure If this has been addressed. Just really excited to use this. I get a crash every time on import of 14bit lossless 1920 x 1080 23.976 clip.  Sorry for the terrible report but this app looks so good. I haven't had enough time to review this part of the forum but I will delete if this has been addressed. I'm on a On a windows 7 x64 Machine here is the windows error report:

Awesome! Amazing grading, shots, text and sound design!

Awesome!!!

How do you mean. This is actually fixed by some deep workaround from a1ex in latest build.

In September 6 2017 build?
Hmmm I downloaded yesterday and on 1.1.3 it does the busy thing unless you hit the Q button twice or hit the trash button twice. I probably missed something but I am on latest build 1.1.3 5d3 sep 6 2017 crop rec 4k build

Loving the quick start times of MLV Lite on newest build!!!!
I'm thinking I should I update the video on the main page to explain the "BUSY" bug from half touch or DOF button? I can explain the Q menu work around or the trash button work around. Or I can wait. I just don't want my video to cause confusion. 

!!!!!!

@denishogan im not sure but it sounds like your preview might be set to canon mode or real time. It should be set to framing. I would have to double check that tho.

Is anybody know how to achieve 3072x1920, I can't find the good set up in the camera to go up to 3072x1320?

This could possibly help:

@The_bald_guy https://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/job/crop_rec_4k/36/artifact/platform/5D3.113/magiclantern-crop_rec_4k.2017Jun19.5D3113.zip
This is for 5D3 fir 113
Oh wait sorry I'm not sure if this version records sound. I missed that you needed that.
I think you have to compile it if you want sound.
