Are you sure that the Lexar cards don't benefit from warm-up? Did you try it with yours?

Well, i record kids. Everything they do is unpredictable and for that i need the flexibility to change the focus during recording. Without focus peaking it's quite hard. Sure, if you record an interview you don't need Global Draw at all.

Thanx for your replies! I found the setting that caused the h.264-recording. I selected Prefs->LiveView zoom tweaks->Auto exposure on Zoom. After deactivating this function it worked just fine!

When using 3x-magnification the refresh rate is extremely low when Global Draw is on.

@reddeecity:
I also use a 64 GB Lexar 1000x an tried different resolutions. In the recent a.d.-releases the transfer rate got quite good while Global Draw is on. I luv shooting with Focus Peaking and Zebras. With Global Draw on and 1856x1004 i can shoot about one minute. That's enough for one scene.
With the mentioned resolution of 1872x938 i think you can even activate Global Draw an still get continuous recordings as long as the card is already warmed up. The Lexar 1000x is one of the cards that highly benefits from card warm-up. Most of the time i shoot stills with my 5D2 and for that i don't want the warm-up procedure to be done on every boot of my cam. Would it be possible to make a little menu-entry in the card warm-up menu where you could manually trigger the warm-up procedure?
I also found out that the Lexar 1000x needs far more than 1 GB to reach it's maximum performance. 4 or 6 GB would be just perfect.

Btw. it's a pity that the beep and the remaining time indicator disappeared. Those were great features.

Thanx mageye for the reply! Sure, it's not a real optical magnification, it's reduced line skipping.

I still don't know how to activate this 3x-magnification. Is there a special menu hidden somewhere?
When i press the magnification-button on the cam it goes into 5x-magnification (not 3x!) and when i press the set-button to start the recording the camera zooms out and starts a h.264-recording instead of mlv.

My mlv-settings are:
Resolution: 1872x1012
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Global Draw: Allow
Frame skipping: off
Preview: Auto
Digital dolly: off
Extra Hacks: on

Hey guys,

i keep on reading about 3x-magnification in mlv_rec here in the forum. Is this a 5D3-only feature? I can only get 5x and 10x magnification.
When i push the magnify-plus-button on the camera during a mlv-recording the image gets magnified by 5x but recording stops instantly. Am i doing something wrong or is magnification not possible during recording?
Would be quite cool to use a wide-angle prime instead of a zoom.

Hey guys!

I am playing with mlv+snd and love it! Especially with Davinci Resolve the workflow got as easy as h.264 just a lot more powerful.

After processing the .mlv-file with the latest version of mlv_dump on my mac i always end up with wav-files that are a little bit longer than the raw-material and audio is not perfectly sync.


I use the latest a.d.-build from Jan 14. I do not use FPS-Override and Davinci Resolve is set to 23.976 fps.

Simply superb!

Did you use LiveView or MLU?
What are your AETTR-Settings?
Did you use LRTimelapse for all the movement?

I still can't get flicker-free AETTR-Timelapses with ML. I don't get it but it always flickers, whatever i do. Also using Gwegner deflicker in LRTimelapse doesn't help.

Hi a.d.!

I am having the exact same issues as reddeercity described. The whole module looks like the normal nightly builds, not the one from you.

I don't get it anyway. The a.d.-builds normally have a speed-benefit and some extra-features. Why not include them in the normal nightlies? Is there a drawback?

DrasticPreview is working - but only playing 5 Frames.
Mediareactor is installed but none of the Apps (QT pro, AE CC, Premiere CS 6) was able to open the .RAW files.
Same here. I am using OS X 10.8.3, newest DrasticPreview 143 and MediaReactor 143. Seems like the plugins do not install on the right place or just do not install at all.
Is there a way to install the plugins manually?
#64
Hi infinitebuzz!

I downloaded MediaReactor and installed it, then started Premiere CC and tried to import a RAW-File. Than i got an error-message from GingerHDR. I forgot that i installed this plugin. This plugin also lets you import .RAW-Files directly into Premiere. It's just very very slow, why i never used it. Then i removed GingerHDR and uninstalled MediaReactor and installed it again. I still cannot import any RAW-files in Premiere. When i select the Import-dialog the .RAW-Files are grayed out. I cannot select them. Any suggestions?

Before i forget. I am using a Mac.

Thanx in advance
Peter

I am not using ACR. I directly used the ProRes-Mov Files raw2dng creates when processing the .RAW-files.

Hi Mathew,

i luv your video and i directly tuned into your tutorial afterwards. Great tutorial!

You are using lots of RAW-files. How do you handle syncing the audio if you need it? I also got an H4n to record audio, as ML cannot do it in RAW-video, and it's quite annoying to sync all the files afterwards in Premiere.
I start by adding the audio file from the H4n and then sync all the video-files using the beep from ML. But the beep is not perfectly sync to the beginning of the file. It's quite tedious if you have lots of files. Can you give me a hint?

I do have the same issue. Raw2DNG seems to apply some kind of auto-WB to the ProRes-Mov-Files. When i shoot several RAW-Files they all do have different WB which is quite annoying in Post. Is there a possibility to apply a certain WB-Value during conversion to ProRes?

The latest build from a.d. (Jun 08) is amazing! The achievable writing speed on my Sandisk Extreme increased by 20% (40 MB/s -> 48 MB/s). This is a big step! I am looking forward to test this new build with a Lexar 1000x in the next days. It looks like 1880x1250 or 1880x1058 seems to get in reach on the 5D2.

Best RAW video i have seen so far! The movement is phenomenal!

Can you give us some details how you managed to produce it? Did you use a display loupe? How did you covert the RAW? Did you use Premiere or After Effects?

@a.d.: thanx!

In HaCk3D mode, which should improve the transfer rate, the actual rate decreases.
Without this HaCk3D mode the transfer seems to be the same as in the May 17th build.

Is there already a May 18th build for the 5D2?

@Hazer:
It looks like the DNGs from raw2dng do not have previews. Adobe DNG Converter adds previews to the filez.

@vikaod:
Strange. 1880x840 needs 63 MB/s. Start LiveView and do a CF-Benchmark.
