I've been working on some beach footage the past few days and I've literally scrapped entire days' worth of shooting because they weren't perfectly focused, not stable enough, etc... I probably looked like a damn fool on the floor of the aquarium trying to get a steady shot.

Damn OCD.

I'm not getting continuous 1152x480 with the newer builds, only between 500-600 frames... Hmm, gonna do a full format again.

Definitely better to have more height than width, except for maybe landscape shots. Anyone tried an anamorphic lens to get more width?

Raw is enabled because compression is completely bypassed, and of course some other magical things they've done.

So, yeah. Compression is pretty unlikely. "Don't hold your breath".

Wav encoder is 16 bit, 44.1, 1411 kbps? Wanna run some tests for max rez with sound, if its doable.

You can get continuous 1152x480 on that card.

Right?!

I'm not the only hitting that, am I?

I tried the overexposure trick on some sunrise footage in acr earlier, works beautifully. The new build video quality seems more solid as well, the green/magenta fix did the trick I believe.

I'll throw my hat in the ring. GMT -4, usually on the general discussion and "share" boards.

I'm pretty much on here all the time. Well, as long as 4G or wi-fi is close by.

Been frequenting many different forums for years now as well, so I have a good idea of how they should operate.

Try shooting in 640x480 mode. I can have histo on while shooting at 1152x480,  fps override on 24.000.

I think I did format the card (sandisk 95) with EosCard before using it, that MIGHT help. I've done a few in-cam formats since then too.

As of now I can manage 364 frames at 1200x480 or 1152x500, 1080 or 480 mode (hack3d mode didn't seem to help). Frames looked good in cam playback as well. Write speeds were around a constant 21.1 mb/s.

Just shot some ocean sunrise footage...

I haven't gotten pink frames since the first couple builds, even when recording for a few minutes straight.

Faulty card, perhaps?

The bad pixels come out easily with acr spot removal.

The dead pixels add character 

Neat video is good for noise btw.

Fixed already? Hot damn. Gonna test it on the beach later.

@cfp: And not to mention, Cinestyle is utter shit on skin tones.

I'm having the same issues as well, wb and green shadows are pretty easily fixed but pulling up shadows and doing major exposure work is very limited. Maybe the issue is raw2dng, I wonder if dng burst files have the same issues...

Sd card limitations are hardware. Bummer, huh?

what were you shooting this at under raw settings? I still get random magenta and skipped frames with 960x540. are you running LV in 720 and shooting with 640x360?

640x480 mode, 1152x480 raw rez uprezzed to 1280x 533 in post.

Shutter speed may have been a little too high, still finding the sweet spot settings. I apologize in advance for the shakiness, but at least it lets us know that there's no screen wobble or jitters.

I need to invest in Film Convert and run the raw footage through it. The demo works wonders on the vids.

Also, the raw histogram is indicating just over 11 stops of DR, is that pretty spot on?

From what I see, up-rezzing in AE from 1152x480 to 1280x533 doesn't have any effect on quality, but this is looking at it on a 13" MacBook, have to check it out on the iMac and be certain.

Im actually extremely happy with the current results, gonna try to throw together a compilation of footage while I'm at the beach.

One feature that would put this over the top would be to have the ability to delete or preview each of the raw recordings, seems to me thatwe can only preview one right after we record it, right?

Anyways, as of right now its completely useable. Oh and bumping up the shutter speed to 1/190 or so gives the footage a very sharp, crisp look.

Nothing for 60D yet as far as raw goes. There may be a thread already on the subject where you can follow it.

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR GENERAL RAW VIDEO INFO-
http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5520.0

The 600D (T3i) is capable of continuous raw video recording, but on a smaller scale than 5d ii and 5d iii. We're limited to a 21 MB/s sd write speed, even with the top-of-the-line Sandisk 95 MB/s sd card.

All hope is not lost though, seeing that 720p quality is well within our reach. I've had the best results shooting in ntsc 640x480 video mode with the newest build by 1%, recording with continuous frames at 1152x464 (2.50:1), up-rezzed to ~ 1280x512 in post, and 16:9 aspect of 960x540, which also uprezzes nicely. Not sure if it still matters with the newest builds but I leave pic quality on sRaw for a bump in buffer memory. If you accidentally take pics in sRaw and can't get them to open, try Canon's Digital Photo Professional.

As far as which sd card to use, the faster the better. Seems like cards that are 30 MB/s can't quite keep up, so we'll likely have to stick with cards that are AT LEAST 45 MB/s and up. Formatting them as exfat helps with the 4 GB file limit, as well.

I've posted a couple vids in the share your vids forum, and I'll upload some dng's or prores 4444 files if anyone is interested. Drop your suggestions, bug finds, preferred settings, etc in here, and I'll keep this original post updated as new developments come along.

Download various builds here (top is newest)-
Obsolete link removed - Please use the official nightly builds //Audionut
This build is still in testing, PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

Update: The newest build has Dual Iso, ETTR and file manager modules. The nightly 600D build now has raw enabled as well, but some users are reporting corrupt frames.

On 600D for a 2.40:1 aspect, put it in 480 video mode, raw video rez to 1152x480, fps override to 24, and uprez it in post to 1280x533. This is the easiest and most visually pleasing workflow I've found.

@N/A,
   Dan Hudgins http://www.dancad3d.com/ is currently working on fixed-pattern noise reduction and figuring out what exactly is going on with Canon's 14bit buffer...I'll post back more info in the next couple days as to his findings.

Cool, that's the only issue I'm seeing now. Good times, good times...

Headed to the beach tomorrow, looks like I'll be lugging my cam and MacBook along with me.

Did record some test footage with a lighter with the edmac_poppin...

you can read everything in the youtube description...

got 2 pink frames... but camera also skipped 2...

with the raw_hdr versions i think i never got any magenta frames

Edit: flickering comes from 2 crt monitores!

Try 1280x 400 in 720p mode, fps override at 23.98 optimized for low light, 1/24 shutter. Then just stretch the 400 to 644.

This vid was 1280x 400 in 640x480 mode, iso 6400 cleaned up with neat video. I think vimeo did noise reduction as well, the original file had WAY more noise...

I can try to cast the int64 to int and do it that way. We'll see if the files open then.

Don't mean to change subjects, but the newest 600D build has a bug, 5x zoom in photo and movie mode works fine with either raw_rec disabled, or enabled with global draw off. With GD and raw_rec on, even with just a histogram, 5x zoom gets distorted and B&W.

Greetings, gents. I have a problem in the 600D is at stake with a nightly build unpack [600D] Raw HDR.zip. However, when you start the camera module writes that "MAGIC.SYM notes exist". but the file is in the folder "modules". And not load rav_rets. What am I doing wrong? I'm sorry if this question has been, my English is very bad.

Place the MODULES folder into the ML folder

Haven't tested max recording length, but it performs perfectly fine for well over a minute.
