Noob questions. Why the dng obteined with rawmagiclite are brighter? Someone has tried the new compressed dng? Are there some serious quality loss when playing with colours?

In your opinion is it possible to sync a lot of external audio without mlv and going crazy? What are your experiences? Could I do that in final cut x or you only use Plural eyes 3 or similar?

any suggestion about the most stable release or I can use the last nightly without any fear?

MlRawViewer has two different data paths for converting into DNG. In both cases a DNG container is created with tags extracted from the source file metadata.
1. When stripe reduction is NOT in use, the source raw data is copied and, if needed, padded to 16bit values with zero bits. In addition, (bad) pixels with zero value are hidden with surrounding data. This path should have very minimal impact on the data.
2. When stripe reduction IS in use, the data is loaded to the GPU and 3 shaders are run to estimate and correct any stripe patterns in the data due to different amplifier settings, as well as hot pixels. The result is written out as 16bit values. This path can touch all pixel values, but is intended not to cause an overall visible change in the image, other than reducing stripes and spots.

Thanks for the explenation. This feature can be a game changer, I will try to understand if the extra process time and the overall quality are accetable.

Some useful info maybe

That's really good, if you want to understand how to use those powerfull luts watch this video! I had finally get what to do with Cineon versions. Thrilled to see the results.

Also, I don't suppose that the FilmConvert module can't be used in-program yet, can it?

It can

In Preferences, CPU, you can select work with CUDA - Open CL or AUTO. You don´t need Cuda drives. Try with this option. Maybe it´s the hard disk.
I think you use PC, because Mac have CUDA drive updated.

I've a Mac, they're updated yes but after a new Resolve sometimes a new cuda pop out and the performances become better.

I'm waiting for a cuda update, the edit section seems a little bit slow now that I've tried it better.
As for the software there're a few bugs, the more important is that sometimes every color option stay stucked and nothing change, only the raw pannel options works. I can't say the exact path to reproduce this but it happens to me different times, it's boring to close and reopen the application.

edit: and I'm expierencing frequent GPU panic that freeze the computer and then make it restart, this needs to be fix.

It depends.  The Midtone Detail option is great, and unlike working in ACR (using the clarity slider) you can see the effect properly and conveniently quickly.

The temptation is always to rack up the sharpening, but it is better to err on the side of moderation.

I'm not really a sharpen-lover, I like soft details and I know that my tool cannot give too much. I've noticed that midtone stuff, impressing, I will probably use it a little bit.

whow.. davinci is so slick and fast. love it!

true that, It's beautiful to be able to edit in real time without proxies.

I think 50-60 should be the maximum for 5d3 1080p footage according to my tests. With more youre starting to get visible aliasing on some egdes, 50-60 gives nice, sharp, almost 4k look to me

I will keep around 25 and push a little bit the midtone slider I suppose, keep it soft

How much sharpening do you use in the raw panel? mmm

anyone have the direct link for windows?

Anyway with the new ImpulZ from VisionColor this is marvellous. I'm only experiencing a few kernel panic/crash in mac os X 10.9 but I suppose that a CUDA update will fix this.

I experience some pretty weird stuff with resolve 11. i am running it on a macbook pro late 2013 15". the first time when i started it up the bar at the bottom, where i can select the different tabs (media edit color deliver), was missing. I then tried different monitor resolutions from the system settings and they came back but then the color tab was completely off. anyone else experiencing this?

Have you tried "reset UI Layout" under "View" in Resolve ?

It's here! direct link for mac:  http://software.blackmagicdesign.com/DaVinciResolve/beta/DaVinci_Resolve_Lite_11.0b1_Mac.zip

In current versions of MlRawViewer, DNG export is mainly disk I/O limited, not CPU limited. In general, (more) multi-threading will not speed it up.

In later versions, there may be more processing done as part of the DNG export process. As much as possible, I will try to use the GPU for that, since for many operations it can be significantly faster than any CPU.

oook, thanks for the answer and the great work

Also, MOV exporting should now use all available CPU cores on Win and Mac, which should make it it significantly faster (my quad core 3770 i7 desktop encodes at 7FPS).

I'm a noob, can I ask if the multithreading will be easy/possible to implement also for dng export or I can forget about that?

If you are simply wanting an updated version of that spreadsheet, well then AFAIK, it is up to date.

It is not and it would be useful to have it with raw vs mlv.

You mean like this: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=11243.0

Nope! Like that http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6215.0

It would be great to have an updated topic like "Current raw video capabilities", it was one of the most useful stuff.

Not many people are aware that the sensor captures better color detail when the moire is eliminated from the recording.

eeehm... I didn't know 

you want the f/2.8, right? from a photographic view i would decide same - i took the 24-105 mainly for video, and the IS/OS was important for me.

Yes, I feel unconfortable with 4 as minimum aperture, I've sold the 17-40 L for this and others reasons. And like reddeercity said the 100mm L is simply outstading, so I don't need to reach 105mm.
I'm also looking to buy this lens for video, is it's really really useful but not fundamental, anyway the tamron has it!

I love my Canon EF 24-70 f2.8L very sharp, specially in crop mode @24mm.
I have 50mm Sigma f1.4 very good lens I use this a lot very sharp @ f2.0
But my go to lens is Canon EF 100mm Macro I.S.f2.8L , outstading Image
My favorite lens hands down, plus I have a Canon EF 70-200 f2.8L
With 2x Extender . Crop mode is great with that 1200mm length , great for shooting the Moon .

Yep, the 100mm is the top. I'm starting to searching a 24-70 with a decent price

The EF 24-105 f/4 IS isnt a bad choice either.. and because of the sigma 24-105 prices have fallen once more.. (used)

I'm thinking hard I maybe want/need more a 24-70...

for crop? i d test the sigma 18-35 1.8.

on fullframe i like the sigma 24-105 because of the overall good sharpness and the OS, it helps massively when filming without a stand.

the Canon 50 1.4 is nearly burnt to ashes now, after the sigma 50 1.4 has been tested.

regards chmee

I just use the 5d mark II, 18-35 it's great I know.
I'm also pushed on the 24-105, but if I'll buy it I surely couldn't afford to substitute my 50mm, at least for now!

So, I'm still struggling to understand which kind of mm I like for filming beside the already existent doubts about photo. I love the sigma 35mm for photo, I loved the 50mm 1.4 canon on crop but now I'm not 100% sure, same thing for the 100mm L but I think I like it more because the quality is just so great.
I had bought the 50mm and the 100mm with the 450D and now I need to decide myself also looking at filming needs. I feel that 35mm it's not wide enough with two or more subjects so I certainly need something wider, in also love primes and always fell unconfortable with zoom because of diaphragme, overall quality etc but now I think I need one, this could also serve the purpose to experiment again (I had a zoom on the 450D) with differents millimiters.

So, what are your experience? Which lens do you use/like on full frame? What do you suggest for me?

24-105 f4 art sigma?
24-70 2.8 sigma/canon/others?
85mm lovers, anyone?

Thanks in advance

We have shot this short film for a exercise in school, hope you can find something interesting in it It was shoot with a 5D Mark II, Magic Lantern raw, 35mm 50mm and 100mm lenses. Editing was done on Final cut pro x, color correction on Davinci Resolve.

This is *great*, I really want to see those improvement.
