Where can I get the old raw2dng.exe without detecting this virus?
Doesn't work for me anymore, neither with rawanizer.

Just uploaded a new raw2dng.exe. If anybody is still having banding issues with it, please upload the first DNG from the video.

Regarding file format, starting from today, frame size might be a bit higher than w * h * 14/9 (it's rounded to 4096 bytes). If your third party converter uses the same file reading loop as raw2dng, it should be fine. If not... you'll have trouble at certain resolutions.

Is there a reason why my bitdefender detects a Gen:Variant Kazy.171435 virus in raw2dng.exe?

damn it, have no words 
thanks!

I understand, nice. Does it have any advantage exporting QT 10bit uncompressed instead of losless AVI?

I can export AVI in 10bit, too, can't I?

How many colours does 10bit use, 16,7mio or more?

Cheers! 
I´ve done some more editing without touching saturation in ACR (the previous one I desaturated and lower vibrance quite a lot) of the shots I took the other day.

Hey in which format did you export from AFX? WHat is 422 QT? It's not ProRes, is it?

electrichobo: I'm doing fine shooting continously with 1536x656 upscaled to 1080. Recording without sound and without hacked mode.
I don't like 16:9 format and would prefer 2:34, but this 2:35 is almost the same.

Yeah I can open them in AFX, no problem, but if I wanna edit my footage, in which format I'm supposed to export it to get it over to Premiere? To losless AVI "16bit" (that still uses 16.7mio of colours)?

And what do I export from Premiere then, DNxHD 10 bit?

1536x656/25fps upscaled to 1080p

Can anybody tell me the right workflow going with TIFFs?
I'm not sure if DNG>TIFF16bit>losless AVI>DNxHD 10 bit>h264 brings any real difference to DNG>losless AVI>DNxHD 8 bit>h264?

Thanks

Random, H264 is not a good option to export your footage for the codec limitation. Forget it excepto upload a final video to internet. Before, for editing and color post, use a codec with more information as pro res, avi uncompressed to edit IN YOUR software like premire or better, final cut...

Alright thanks, so I can do it like DNG->losless AVI->Premiere->DNxHD->h264 by Stremclip.
And how about workflow with TIFFs or DPX? DNG->TIFF16 bit>losless AVI (?)>Premiere>DNxHD 10bit (?)>h264?

Well, not sure if that helps, but my maximum continues shooting without sound is 1536x656 (2,35) with my EOS 6D and a Sandisk Extreme 45mb/s

HI RANDOM,
- FROM ACR, Under the windows, you have to chosse the bits: 8 or 16. Make a click over the number.
- When you have all the folder save it (as Tiffs),  open in Compressor and export as you want.

If you work with 8 bits, When you export the footage from Compressor, the real information is in 8 bits transformed to 10 or 12 depends the codec you have choose. So, I recommend work in 16 and the Compressor downscale the bits to 10. I hope this help you 

Great, thank you! Okay so I export a 16bit-TIFF sequence from AFX and then? How can I load and edit it in Premiere?
It gives me single TIFF-images after exporting.

Which compressor is recommandable for use? Transcoding to h264 (or anything) before loading into Premiere or afterwards?

If somebody just could give a short advice about his workflow, I'm getting crazy of all this

Quantizer of the video was raised in H264... check how you set up the encode. Too much detail in the frame and it lowers quality to keep within whatever rates you set... just like canon, lol

I understand.
I've tried different settings now, but still don't get any change. Even with maximum bitrate of 20 or higher I get the same unfocus, maybe a little bit less, not sure. I'm using the Premiere 720p preset, just raising the bitrate a little.

Am I the only one with this result?

It looks like H264 dropped QP when it "defocused"... is that in the original?

No it's not, at least far away from this extreme. What u mean by QP, and do you have any idea to fix that?
If I export to DNxHD and transcode to H264 by Streamclip it's even worse.

My first RAW testvideo.

1280x720/24p, not upscaled, no color correction, no sharpened
losless AVI exported from Premiere into h.264

Does anybody know why it gets unfocused in the moment the camera moves?
It was even worse with transcoding it from DNxHD into h.264 with MPEG streamclip.

Using 4444 FROM TIFF you have a huge information if you gonna Color post. If you create from JPG the video have compensate the information and its the same Pro Res, HQ or 4444.

Maximum quality I Get was TIFF 16 bits  and exported as 4444.

(You have the option of uncompressed video, buy I think the life is very short).

When exactly are you exporting to TIFF 16bits? From AFX after loading the DNG's?
And how do you make a video then?

Hey guys,

When I'm transcoding DNxHD into MPEG-4 H264, it takes 1 1/2 hour and gives me a file of 1,30MB.

My settings are:
MPEG-4 with h.264 compression, quality 100%, multipass
frame size unscaled, 25fps, no frame blending/downscaling/interlaced scaling/deinterlace video

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: well, just put the multipass off and everything works fine and fuckin fast.   

Haha don't worry, I'm gonna love to give that lmgtfy-link to others in future   

Thank you for all infos! I hope I've found my RAW workflow now, it's still transcoding.

Well,

Thanks for the Avid-Link. I feel dumb now Same about the exfat format.
But the exported DNxHD-file is around 6 times larger than my "normal" exported h264, is that normal?
Moreover I was not able to open it in VLC or WMP.

btw with the newest Modules and autoexe I can record 1536x646/24p up to 2GB with the hacked mode off!
(I'm using 45mb/s exfat SDHC now)
Is it possible to transmit hdmi-out even with hacked mode on actually?

Thanks for all this work! damn it, guess all Nikon and Sony users are eating their shorts right now 

Hey man. You don't really want any sharpening inside of ACR at all as this brings out the moire and aliasing. I find that an unsharp mask inside of After Effects is more forgiving. That or if you are going to use it instead of unsharp mask  then I'd crank the mask slider up and just pull it back a tiny bit to tast

WB is something that is completely subjective to your scene. You can use the drop down menu to select something like Tungsten or Daylight or Cloudy etc. if you know the environment you were in then this is a good place to start and then again tweak to taste. When in doubt just look at skin tones. I pull the main temperature slider until it turns blue and the pull it back until it turns yellow and then split the difference so it's neither one or the other. Same again with tint. If there is something white in your scene then you can always use the WB dropper. Something I really want to see added is a feature that captures what would be the metadata and a bunch of other information regarding your scene (like a slate) that is burnt into the first frame of the video but I need someone smarter than myself to help me create it

In regard to rendering this seems like you need to know a lot more about encoding in general as it depends if you want your export to be lossless at the expence of it being enormous in size and playing back on nothing or lossy which will be smaller in size and playback fine but introduce minor artefacts. You should probably google this or search the forum and research it more. If you want an editable codec that plays back great and retains a good amount of information then you can't go wrong with ProRes on a Mac or Avid DNxHD in Windows.

Hope this helps.

Thank you a lot for your help! Well, good to know that I shouldn't sharp in Camera Raw.
You know how I can get the DnxHD codec? Won't come with Adobe, will it ;-)

Hey is it true that RAW-recordings can't skip the 4GB-limit like the h264 can do? That'd mean that the maximum recording time of a 1600x600 is not much more than 1 minute, right?

[sharp]

Finally I figured out my RAW workflow now after a half of a day problems with AFX CS4 (32*) on a 64bit system. But now I can shoot almost endless in 1600x600 and even pushed up to 1920 it just looks astonishing in detail and colors.
Which settings in post are recommendable for RAW?

Should I sharp it more than usual (amount 25/radius 1,0/detail 25/mask 0) or better not?
How about saturation, and which white balance do you use? the automatic makes the purple-shift so I mostly take 5500 Kelvin if it's in sun light?

Exporting from AFX in losless .AVI or better in MJPEG what I read somewhere?
And from Premiere exporting normally into h.264 or what is the final codec?

questions over questions 
thanks for help!

Hallo! So erging es mir, wenn ich ein neues Modul mit einem alten Autoexec.bin.

Anstelle der Verwendung von "try this one" versuchen Sie die Dateien hier http://ge.tt/api/1/files/1YdeGzh/0/blob?download

Danke! 

Awesome, now it's working. Thank you so much guys, gonna post some test video quiet soon! 

EDIT: Why don't I have liveview while RAW recording, even though I put lv_Rec:RAW:ON ?
The first picture freezes until I stop the recording.

Habe ML  und 1.1.3 installiert und auch die letzten Module genommen ("Try this one.zip").

Möchte ich jetzt aber Module laden, kommt folgendes:

"Unloading module...

[i ] props    at: 0x00B2A5BC
[i ] cbr        at: 0x00B2A2E0"

Und der Display friert ein. Kamera ist nur durch Battery-Reset wieder zum Laufen zu kriegen.

Was mach ich falsch?
