Interesting, what OS and what browser is being used? I'm on a Mac using Safari 10 with no problems.

LogFaithful is my new friend (until Raw becomes a dream come true). Magenta seems more correct than Cinestyle, and less yellow. Really like it on my 7D2's.

Quote from: chmee[btw] is it necessary discussing usage of picture-styles in a "REVERSE ENGINEERING"-Thread?

True to a point, I think application of said REVERSED ENGINEERED style is important as well.

Quote from: KharakLogFaithful sounds interesting though, but not sure if I would ever use it other than reference. Read my signature.

I just downloaded LogFaithful 1.3 and will try soon.
#31
Yeah, pretty much my same findings. I can't technically explain it but I can get more filmic looks from Faithful than any other style.
#32
Quote from: dfort...What differences have you observed between using "Neutral" and "Faithful" flattened out? The reason I'm interested is because on our CineStyle like picture styles I dropped logFaithful on the latest test version, maybe I should bring it back?...

You have to be extra careful with Neutral when exposing, it can get muddy and difficult to recover in post. Faithful, even flattened out seems to give more color information and shadow detail - that is if you're exposing to protect highlights.

I like Cinestyle too, I'll be using both styles for now depending on my shooting situation.
#33
Faithful also seems to help skin tones, but Cinestyle is good with shadow detail too. I think I'll be using those two styles for now until something changes. I haven't used logFaithful yet, I may give it a try.

Quote from: axelcine@wicq: The 5D4 is being investigated - the same as 760D, 80D and 7DII, so a lot of people are working in their spare time testing and reverse engineering the cams. It is tedious work, like collecting stamps. If you really want to understand the job, these magnificent guys are doing, then read the 5D3-story here. Post by post. Victories, failures, retests, corrections... it is a tale of courage, stubbornness, willingness to go far beyond the call of duty - as if there ever was such one. You could base a Pulitzer-prizewinning novel on these pages:

Read "The Machine" by Tracy Kidder. That one also won the Pulitzer Prize. That book will give you some idea of what A1ex and his peers are really doing.

Well said axelcine, well said.

Quote from: Walter SchulzIt has to be verified 7D2 indeed does binning. But unscaling has to take place. 1920 x 3 = 5760 pixels. 7D2 -> 5472 pixels horizontal. Close ...

Ah, that's what I thought. I used to have a couple of 6D's and the line skipping was horrible. Binning, although not great, is much better IMHO to line skipping.

P.S. I shot an entire 26 episode season of a children's TV show using the Neutral profile flattened out. I've recently tried James Miller's CLog3 and Andrew Reid's EOSHD CLog. I have a hard time pulling shadow detail out of those "Log" profiles. So I recently started using "Faithful" flattened out. If I expose protecting highlights, I get much better shadow detail. Very interesting. I wish I would've used "Faithful" on those episodes.

Quote from: dfort...Note that the APS-C cameras actually line skips the full sensor and shoots 1728x584 then uprezes in camera (someone can fact check me on this) while the Canon C100 actually has a 4K sensor and downscales internally so the H.264 files from the professional line is much better. The 5D3 shoots full 1920x1080 and uses pixel binning which is superior to line skipping and the resulting H.264 movie files are almost as good as the "real" cine cameras.

The 7D2 does this also? It sure looks like an APS-C version of the 5D3.

Quote from: mmellwayThe person who finally gets this working will be my greatest hero. Please keep up the great work! I know this is hard but its so worth it!! I LOVE ML. Just think of the raw video capabilities of the 7D Mark ii. Its gonna be amazing! Maybe even 4k too!!

Couldn't agree more.
#40
Wow, great examples. I've used Faithful in the past, may have to revisit after seeing that footage.
#41
I've tried it, it's okay but more extensive testing needed with my Ninja 2's. I keep finding myself going back to Neutral -4. LogNeutral looks pretty good though.
#42
Very cool, thank you for this.

Quote from: JagoUKCheers for that, thought we were going to have to wait a little while longer for it.
I would advise against upgrading as I believe recent FW has disabled the ability to downgrade FW and currently only v1.0.4 is being worked on. (1.0.5 has the ability to roll back to 1.0.4)

Good info, thanks for that. My cameras came with 1.0.5 already installed, I can't find 1.0.4 anywhere on Canon's site. Can somebody point me in the right direction to get that just in case?

Still get moire and aliasing in mlv_raw crop mode. 1280 x 582, use MLV Mystic to convert to DNG. ACR in After Effects to upscale and add Neat Video. Not sure why it still looks this way. Worked wonders on my 6D (but don't have it anymore and ML isn't ready for my 7D2). Any suggestions?
#49
I will most definitely try this out on my 7D2. I record using the HDMI out to the Atomos Ninja 2 so this should be fun to experiment with. Thanks guys!

I think they're trying to get a dumper on the current version. The dual Digic6 on the 7D2 seems to be especially difficult.
