When i copy .dng's from a mounted MLV and import those dng's as a sequence into after effects using ACR the video imports but when I render I only get one frame rendered. I tried just importing the mounted .dng's and every frame rendered. Am I doing something wrong?

UPDATE: figured it out, I had to copy the whole folder and not just the .dng's. For some reason that worked.

So after playing around with the settings in ML am I correct to assume 1/48, 1/25 or 1/8000 are not available on this camera. I cannot figure out how to enable them if they are.

I enabled exposure override but don't have 1/25 or 1/8000 shutter speeds available.

Does exposure override not enable different shutter speeds or am I doing something wrong?

Increments of 160 is recommended for H264 as usual whereas increments of 200 is for RAW/MLV.

Thanks, didn't know that. Do I just shoot at iso 200,400,600... using canon iso or do i need to enable ml digital iso? any other settings to optimize raw recording?

I've been checking that since then. It seems that the app is still under development and not stable yet for windows.

The reason why I've turned myself towards dual iso is because much of the noise is removed apart from the increased dynamic range.
Is there another way to remove noise. I'm getting quite alot with my 5d3 in RAW despite the fact that I shoot at ISO 80, 160 or 320.
I use increments of 160. I've used denoise in Lr and even afterwards in Ae or Pr using denoiser II, but I still get noticeable noise especially in the darker areas.
Which parameter in the ML menu or other thing increase my noise?

Does shooting in increments of 160 help at all when shooting raw? Is it recommended to denoise/sharpen in LR/ACR or do it later with plugins, with ACR you only see the first frame so it's hard.

One quick question, video seems a little noisy. Is it recommended to reduce noise in ACR or use a third party denoiser after ACR?

Thanks, I got a lot of profiles now I'll figure out howto make a script.

I am trying to change the exif with exiftool to see if that can work as a temp solution but the script that danne shared doesn't work for me. Anyone know how I can change the exif? I'm using MLVFS to get .dng's

I'm working on uploading an MLV and DNG but my card reader went out last night while copying files.

wasn't raw2dng, I actually tried that first but had a problem so went with MLVFS which is what I used. Andy, I plan on buying Cinelog if I ever get this sorted out

Thanks Walter, let me know if you need a file.

You want the MLV file, correct?

It was never about me being right, I just want to use camera profiles without changing EXIF data. i'd add the screenshots if I knew how but it did work with the picture I downloaded from a 5dmk3

yep, I know, see the commit messages
Nope. It uses the value in the MLV file, same with black level. If it's wrong, then it's wrong in the MLV file => therefore you need to go to the source of the MLV file to fix the issue.
White level and black level are objective values that are either correct or incorrect. There is no "tuning" you should do to these values to try and adjust the "look" of your image.
Yep, and again this is something that comes out of the MLV file.

Just to make sure I understand the UniqueCameraId is stored in the MLV file so it's ML reporting my camera as rebel t4i instead of 650d so this happens before I even convert to DNG?

And C:\Users\matt\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles was there? You haven't to create "CameraProfiles"?
Snapshot Explorer window showing C:\Users\matt\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles contents and link it here.

Walter, I guarantee you the dir. Is there. I believe the problem is the camera shows up as rebel t4i instead of 650d.

Some time ago I realised that MLVP produce dng that looks something different in Resolve.
Difference among other convertors was minor, while with MLVP - huge.
Same time ACR gets confused with predefined camera profiles, only "Embedded" looks good.
Author responded that its due to different white level - MLVP use 16383.
Moreover, it's possible to change this value.
Need to say my camera is always 16383 in video mode(okay, while not tricked with adtg_gui ).
MLVFS seems use 15000 hardcoded.
Today I tried to tune MLVFS dng with exiftool.
Need to say my exiftool is very choosy regarding changing these tags, white level works only with -IFD0:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -IFD0:WhiteLevel=16383 *.dng -overwrite_original
And ... I didn't find the way to change black level(from 2047 to 2044)
so I don't know if it matter or not but changing white level alone makes difference.

Thanks but I think I'll wait to see if anyone has a proper fix or try another app but I do appreciate the help

It looks like MLVFS must have wrong EXIF for my camera, Rebel T4i instead of 650d.

I'm using MLVFS to convert my MLV files and it works great. I want to use a camera profile in ACR but none show up. the stock camera profiles include profiles for the 650D but in ACR my camera is listed as Rebel T4i, would that info be stored in the DNG's produced by MLVFS?

You don't have to copy it to ProgramData.
Do you have a directoy VisionLog in C:\Users\matt\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles and do you have restarted PS?

Yes I do and have.

I downloaded the VisionLog camera profile and placed it in C:\Users\matt\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles and C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles and I still do not see the profile in Adobe Camera Raw.
