Hey, I'm having a bit of an issue.

I shoot at 2.35:1 with 1472 width. (this is the max I can get with the t4i) I ran the program using "650D" and "Interpolate" but almost all dots are still visible. And when I attempt to use "dead pixel" it doesn't convert, simply saying "one or more files could not be converted"

Would like some help here.

Okay guys, short status update:

  * I'm currently modifying the tool to support dot locations stored in external files (not hardcoded in the tool anymore) and more cam types and resolutions

  * Mixer2 already patched the code and made it usable for the EOS M as well... I'll integrate that into the new version

  * Mixer2 also found out that you can handle many resolutions by just providing an offset to a few basic resolutions (e.g., the silent DNG). I'll provide support for that as well

Give me two or three days and by then I should have a new release out for testing....

Foorgol, this tool is simply awesome. I think you need an official name for it now that it's up and working well.

I believe there was a .fir somewhere for 1.0.1. Check back a few pages.

Also to Nano: I saw a1ex's post on variable buffering. Will this also work with the 650d to help aid recording resolution limits?

guys its still an alpha. and as I asked earlier does anyone know how many bits is canon raw? opposed to the 14bit silent DNG?

I do believe it's 14-bit as well although don't quote me on that.

I've wondered this for a while, but if the way the dots are overlayed is semi-transparent (such as a add/lighten mode) then if a blank plate with only the dots was placed over the footage and set to the opposite mode (subtract/darken) would this manage to remove the dots? Or would it also cause the picture to be darkened as well.

I've wanted to test this but whenever I record a solid black clip the dots are not present.

Besoin D'aide!!!

Quand Je Film en Mode Raw avec Mon Canon 650D, et que je le transforme en format dng, il y a un genre de grain de couleur sur la video?
Que Faire S'il Vous Plait!!!

C'est un problème connu et il sera fixé dans l'avenir.

Thank you french class.

installed yesterday. Used the magiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2013Feb02.650D.BOOTFIX.zip to "update" my firmware.

Said make sure Boot Flag is active. then a smiley.

I put safe dumpr on my card, as well as the latest build from last night. then i actived the bootflag using the mac version of the app that makes them bootable, (I run mountain lion on my computer so i had to put a special script in the folder that  had the app to make the card bootable).

I ran magic lantern and it works pretty sweet.

I tried to shoot raw and it worked when i put it on a lower setting like 1280 by 720 but the problem ive ran into is there is artifacting in the middle of the frame that looks kinda like the bumpy parts of metal like this image: http://images03.olx.in/ui/4/33/94/63002994_1-Pictures-of-Industrial-metal-sheets-and-Embossed-Metal-Sheets-Chennai.jpg

but the artifacts are colored like fushia.

I tried a bunch of different settings and still got the artifacts, is this a problem with my sensor? or with the encoding process? You can't see the artifacts when you play it back through ML on the camera, only after transcoding using MagicRaw..

I used MagicRaw with the 650d setting to transcode from Raw to DNG.

Thank you for all your hardwork!! So stoked to have ML on my t4i!!

It's a known bug. Nano and the team are working on it but it's not a high priority fix at the moment.

Make sure to link it when you do. I don't know my way around these forums very well. 

Okay, here's what I've got for RAW. A little test video made at my local pier.

Excuse the camerawork; forgot a tripod and had to warp stabilize the h*ll outta it.

I'll have to agree.  If the RAW is just janky at best, it's probably a waste of time.  I'd rather have all of the full features working just like on the T3i and then start to add improvements.

I wouldn't generalize about "kit lenses."  I don't have a kit lens.  You can do some pretty good looking stuff with a T4i if you take the time to do it.  Granted there's a LOT of mediocre work out there, but I wouldn't generalize.

Now I'd have to disagree. While the raw that comes from this camera isn't the best, keep in mind that this camera is not a 5D, and therefore was not bought by someone looking to get the utmost quality and features. On the contrary, in least in my case, it was bought to be a semi-budget camera for youtube. The addition of RAW support of any kind is a very great bonus, and given that I'm very grateful for the effort the team has put in to RAW recording. Once we sort out the weird elements bug, the T4i has the potential to become a very powerful RAW camera for the entry-level cinematographer.

Okay, videos are processing now.

So far with a SanDisk Extreme Pro 16gb 95mb/s card the max I've been able to use RAW-wise has been 1440 at 2.35:1 with sound off. Anything higher uses up the buffer and recording stops within 100 frames. So overall not bad. If we can ever figure out how to downsample to 10bit in-camera we may have some very usable footage soon.

Will be posting test videos later today.

I've got an extreme pro 95mb/s. I'll have to play around with this today.

Downloading a build now.

So where exactly can I find these new builds? I've been wanting to try out RAW and the other various features but the main Nanomad filesystem doesn't seem to have them.

Also on a side note: has ML.fm been loading slowly for anyone else?

Alright jumping back to development now.

I'm shooting a short video on my cousin's RC drift car. We'll see how that turns out with ML's help.

Right now bitrate is set to 1.4x and results are looking good.

Color is fake... buy a Revere Model 88.

Hi,

I just installed this to my 650d but i couldn't make it to record hdr videos, is this feature disabled on alpha version?

http://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/production/a-simple-way-to-shoot-hdr-video-footage-using-magic-lantern/

i found this tutorial to record hdr vids, as you can see there, i need to change the firmware from noob mode to advanced mode. but it seems it is disabled on alpha right? no?

It should be in the recycle bin menu under "Movie". Just press [Set] to enable/disable.

The main reason I'm looking forward to RAW is dynamic range.

In the tests, what have you seen in terms of dynamic range? I've seen shots of the 5D3 and the range looks amazing, so how much of that trickles down to the 650d?

RAW fully working, 1280x560 is what a good card can record at 24p. The trouble is that the RAW feed has the movie mode AF points burnt into the image. It's probably a software thing as canon H264 video doesn't have them and I need to figure them out before releasing anything.

That's actually not bad. That's about the same as a cinescope video at 720p, and with the prices on Extreme cards going down every day it looks like the 650d may actually be viable as a budget raw camera.

Nano, how close are we in terms of any RAW capabilities or even another PreAlpha?

I'm quite interested in helping out by beta testing whenever I can.

Well after a short outing with the 650D it appears that most of the features work.

The only real issue I found with the features I used was that MagicZoom flickered quite a bit, but I believe that was covered already.

Tests:
Overlays
-Zebras: OK
-Focus Peak: OK
-MagicZoom: Heavy flickering at 1080p, useable at 720p
-Cropmarks: OK
-Ghost Image: OK
-Spotmeter: OK
-False Color: OK
-Histogram: OK
-Waveform: OK
-Vectorscope: OK

Movie
-BitRate: Untested
-REC Key: OK
-Gradual Exposure: OK
-FPS Override: Untested
-HDR Video: OK
-Vignetting: Untested
-Image Finetuning: Untested
-Movie Tweaks: All OK

Shoot
-Intervalometer: OK
-Motion Detect: Didn't seem to work
-Silent Picture: Also appeared to be unworking
-Shoot Preferences: All OK

All display settings appeared to work.

RAW recording should work with resolution just under 720p at 24 fps...

Is there a technical reason for this or is it just a quirk that it has to be that low of a resolution?

I've got all the files downloaded. Should be able to test when I get back home. Will try and go as in-depth with feedback as I can.

I saw the question a little further back, but will it be at all possible to shoot in RAW? I know the 5D3 can because it has RAW out already, but is there any potential for the 650 to do similar?

I'm very excited as I bought the T4i without thinking that ML hadn't been ported yet. I'll surely be donating once I can.

Also, noob question: where exactly can I download these Betas?
