Yeah, instead of 0% it prints milliseconds.

With 68MB/s and 10% idle, you can push it to around 75, no?

Can't seem to get it to go past 68mb/s

Which mode and res should i be testing in?

posting a build with the latest code if anyone has time to try and report back confirming that Idle time shows up.

don't have time to test it myself now.
thank you.

I've just experienced this, it's pretty annoying. Has anyone tried the camera raw 8 update?

Just tried it, no change unfortunately.

Sorry for OT but is it necessary to upscale 1584x892 to 1920x1080 for Vimeo if you don't have Pro account. I guess it will downscale to 720p back...

I finished in 1080p to test the workflow for future projects. Vimeo will just scale it.

It was sunny at the weekend so I went and shot something. Sorry it's shaky, didn't have my shoulder rig or tripod.

- Using GregoryofManhattan's 8th June build
- Shot at 1584x892 and upscaled to 1080
- DNG's extracted with RAWMagic 1.0 Beta 4
- Raw processing in ACR
- A bit of sharpening in Resolve
- Tamron 17-50mm f2.8

Awesome speed with Gregory's new build. I'm getting around 69mb/s at 25fps 1584x892!

Global draw on with just raw histogram.

Thanks Gregory

My workflow is with RawMagic and Resolve. For some reason the clips have a green tint when I open them in Resolve, but when I open them in ACR they're fine.

Have you guys encountered this?

I found the same thing so at the moment I'm sticking to ACR. I find the raw controls in Resolve pretty limiting anyway, I can get a much better result in ACR and it deals with moire better.

Great work Gregory, I'll give your new build a go tonight.

Here's a frame from my weekend test shoot, I'm still trying to get on top of the workflow.

I've also had movie mode turned off, that explains why my exposure hasn't been consistant.

What are people using to nail exposure, raw histogram? raw zebras?

What do the numbers in the red circle mean on the histogram?

My batteries last about 30 mins but they came with the camera so are probably old. I've just ordered a couple of duracell replacements so I'll see how I get on with those.

You might notice in some of the clips (

) a slight jump, which looks similar to a dropped frame. 

I didn't notice the magenta blips in the camera display, but when hooked up to a SmallHD HDMI external monitor, I saw the attached frames.  Not consistent and sometimes 1, but usually not more than 3 in a 30-second span.

Happened with both 16:9 at 1600 using all the recommended settings as well as 3:2 at 1600.  Pretty consistent and roughly 90% of my RAW files have them. 

Examples:

I get this with a monitor connected too.

How do I set 2000x800? If I go into the size options and try to change anything it just defaults back to 1584x892

Another test with the latest build, this time at 25fps:

Global draw on
Raw histogram on
Sound set to OFF in raw video menu
Waveform on (not sure if waveform is relevant in RAW mode or not?)

Write speed 59mb/s

The only good fixes for aliasing are crop mode or the Mosaic filter (which afaik doesn't fit on the 50D).

I emailed Mosaic Engineering to ask if they might make a filter for the 50D. Not heard back yet but who knows, maybe if everyone does it then it may make them consider it?

been an amazing week in ML coding history and ETTR and AutoETTR is part of the story.
you have to get the latest edition to get all of the ETTR goodness (say goodbye to AutoISO if you liked that).

Is AutoETTR enabled in the latest 50D unified build?

« on: June 08, 2013, 06:07:42 PM »

Ah right, I wondered what that meant 

With global draw on I get 45mb/s.

@GregoryOfManhattan

Thanks for getting the 50D into the unified build:

Just did a test and got 57mb/s constant, only 1 buffer star and no Canon overlays.

Global draw off
24fps
1584x892

Seems to be working for me.

What changeset are you running? There should not be any drops in write speeds, unless you have enabled zebras or focus peaking or who knows what other CPU-intensive stuff.

Global draw etc off. the first 3 files were fine at 59mb/s then the write speed dropped on any further files i tried to record.

Formatting in camera didn't change anything but repartitioning and then formatting put the write speed back to 59mb/s

Tried to shoot some stuff earlier, the 1st couple of shots were fine and recorded at 59mb/s then the write speed dropped to 45mb/s and the buffer filled quickly. I can't seem to get it back to recording at 59mb/s

I've formatted the card in the camera etc, anyone else noticed a sudden drop in write speeds?

I'm using 28th build shooting at 1592x896 on 64gb komputerbay card.

I repartitioned the card in my mac and then reformatted in camera, write speed is now back up to 59mb/s. The card must have corrupted somehow.

Although my card (Transcend 16Gb 1000x) performs pretty similar in the benchmark i get ~47 MB/s while Recording RAW. I dont get this. I tested soo many settings and none of them are leading to any performance increase

It's rated faster than mine, maybe you have something still turned on in one of the menus?

When shooting 1592x896 @ 25fps I get 59mb/s pretty constantly with my Komputerbay 64gb 1000X card

Global draw on, HDMI unplugged.

Yes you need to update the Canon firmware to 1.0.9 before installing ML, you can download it here:
