Hey everyone, here's a fashion type video I shot with 5d3 in 1920x1080 raw. Thanks for watching and hopefully enjoy!

Hello Brawl,

I would highly recommend looking at the H6 as oppose to the H4N, if budget allows. The H6 has a hotter preamp, loads up many times faster, much longer battery life, and a cleaner interface. I used to use the H4N for audio, but ever since I switched to the H6, it has made my audio life much easier.

It's a phone?
I'm in Argentine...
Ipad tablet not support, I sold it for that...

Yes it's a phone, the 1st generation of Samsung Galaxy Note. I'm assuming Note II would work as well, maybe even better? It does lag a bit though so if you're doing lots of movement shots, it can be somewhat annoying.

If you have an android phone/tablet and DSLR controller app, you can have both LCD and monitor viewing together. I have a Samsung Note I (i717) and both that and my 5d3 lcd are displaying video. The downside is the lag in the monitor, but it's fine with me so far since I mainly use it for framing or when I'm in a position where I can't view the 5d3 lcd screen properly.

I too had the same thing happened to me, but on 64gb 1000x a few weeks back. I was shooting an event when it occurred. Luckily for me it happened early into the shooting so only a small portion of the shots were wasted. I returned and got another.... so far so good (cross fingers).

Like everyone has mentioned, return and either risk on another or get a Lexar. Call me an idiot, but I'm taking another risk with Komputerbay. I did 2 gigs so far (one shooting with raw and another h.264 regular format). It's been holding up good thus far.

Good luck to you

Would using a simple batch script combined with ffmpeg or txmuxer or similar to multiplex the camera audio with video stream help?

What's the benefit in recording seperate in camera audio? Rather than demuxing it later should you need to?

I never tried ffmpeg or txmuxer, but I'll look into that.

Is there an option to make the in camera audio record together with the video clip? I rather prefer this and I think that may solve the Pluraleyes issue. When I first installed ML, it automatically separates the audio (non-raw video shooting). I tried searching through the settings in ML and Canon, but there weren't any options.

Thanks!

This might not help, but I've been able to monitor on both my Samsung Note I (i717) and 5D3 lcd screen together.

Sorry for the late reply and any confusion. Some of the footages that I shot are regular h.264 format (non-raw). And yes, all of my in-camera audio were recorded onto their own separate tracks.

This is what I do in Premiere Pro CS6:

1) Pop in the video clip onto a timeline (let's say 5D001.mov).
2) locate the proper in-camera audio track (let's say mvi_001.wav) and pop it underneath the 5D001.mov
3) locate the corresponding zoom audio track (let's call it ZOOM001_Tr3.Wav) and pop that underneath mvi_001.wav
4) Save file and then go to Extensions > PluralEyes 3
5) Select the timeline I want to sync
6) a mini-timeline PluralEyes window appears. At the bottom are 3 tracks: Camera 1, Audio Recorder 1, Audio Recorder 2. Same thing at the top of the window, however, Camera 1 has a "error: audio extraction failed" text.

At the very top of the window, there's a "Synchronize" button. I'm assuming all I would need to do is highlight the 2 audio tracks at the bottom of the screen and then click synchronize, but it's grayed out. I don't know what to do from here.

Hey guys,

What do you guys recommend for the settings when outputting or compressing 1080 or higher resolution for Vimeo or Youtube? Before on my 60D, I would output to 720 and my settings from Quicktime Pro 7 were:

video -
format: MP4 (h.264)
data rate: 10,000 kb/sec
Image size: 1280 x 544 (2.35 ratio)

audio -
format: AAC-LC (Music)
data rate: 256 kpbs
channels: stereo
output sample rate 44.100 kHz
encoding quality: best

But now I'm shooting with 5D3 and I just finished a 1920x1080 size raw video. And I plan to go higher down the road. My question, should I increase the "data rate" for the video side? Or is it overkill? I know Vimeo has a limit I believe, but I'm not sure about Youtube.

For those of you who are shooting at 1080 or higher res, what are your settings?

Thanks in advance

Ancient magic will work, like this:



Pluraleyes won't work for good reasons, as you mentioned. No audio to sync.

Yeah, looks like I'll be doing that for future projects except I'll be using a notebook as a slate and then making weird noises for the clapper sound lol

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Anyone currently using Pluraleyes 3 with raw footage on Premiere Pro CS6 with Windows 7? My situation is, when the Pluraleyes window pops up (via extensions in PrPro), it would display "Camera 1" clip, "Audio Recorder 1" soundtrack, and "Audio Recorder 2" soundtrack. The problem is, my video clip doesn't have audio in it (I'm shooting on 5d3 and it records audio onto a separate track) so I would get a message in yellow saying "Error: audio extraction failed". It won't let me synchronize any of the audio. I'm assuming because the video clip doesn't have audio, Pluraleyes have nothing to synch.

"Audio Recorder 1" is the 5d3 audio track while "Audio Recorder 2" is my zoom h6 track. I tried highlighting both tracks and click on "Synchronize", but it doesn't work. Anyone know have any suggestions? I've been manually going in and doing it the hard way, but it's annoying and time consuming.

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,

I received my Komputerbay 64gb card some days ago and it was working fine the first few days, but now it seems to be having problems. Every time I record video (both raw & non-raw formats), it would record for a couple of seconds then I would get an "Err 02 - Card1 can not be accessed reset/change card 1 or format card with camera" message. I tried formatting from my 5d3, but I kept getting a message that card1 can not be formatted.

So then I plugged the card into my computer and tried formatting from there. I would get a message saying I can't format the card. I'm assuming this means it's defective?

thanks

Hey everyone,

I bought a 5D3 last week and have done a few projects already. I installed ML the moment it arrived. I noticed that when I record video (not raw, but regular h.264 format), it records audio separately on their own tracks. Since this is the first time I've used a 5D3, I'm not sure if this is how it normally process video or if ML has something to do with it. I want to record both audio and video together so that it'll be easier to sync in post since I have a Zoom H6. Currently it's a pain trying to sync extra audio tracks.

I've gone through Canon Menu settings and ML's, but I couldn't find any options to combine audio and video together. Can anyone help?

For the record, I'm using ML 5d3 August 26th build (nightly)

Thanks!!

Hello,

Here is my latest fashion video I shot with Canon 60D in raw video. I shot in 960x540 and then uprezzed to 1280x720 in post. Hopefully this is my last video I will shoot on a 60D as I'm waiting for a 5D Mark III to come in 

You've had the best looking 60D footage to me to date. Can I ask you how far right you are exposing? Are you going a little positive  or a little negative. I'm still trying to learn how to read that histogram. I think when the red blue or green circle shows it means that channel is clipped right?

Also can you tell me what build you are shooting with thanks. Love your footage

Thank you very much for the compliment! I didn't do the far right exposing method. To be honest, I really don't understand it that much other than exposing really bright. During that shoot, I just eyeball'd it on the lcd screen the best I can. I just made sure the brights weren't too hot. Then I fixed the over/under exposed shots with ACR in AE. I didn't use the histogram in camera, in fact, I rarely ever use it in-camera (yes I know this is bad practice). But I did use the histogram in ACR to help my exposure correction.

I think at the time of the shoot (late June) I was using an early June build. Right now, I have the late July build.

I hope this helps and if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Here's my 3rd fashion video shot with raw format. This is my first video shot on 1280x544. My previous videos I shot at 960x540 and uprez to 720.

I've been trying to figure that out myself sometimes I get pink frames sometimes I don't. I've turned global draw off and that seems to work, but even then I still get them occasionally and I'm using the 45 mb/s Sandisk as well.

Side question what do you guys feel is the best resolution to shoot at that is practical? I've been using 960x544 continuous and uprezzing to 720. Anybody shooting at a higher resolution of 30 secs or more with success?

I would like to know this as well. I originally started at 960x544, then went up to 1280x544, but it would be nice to able to shoot longer periods of time at 720.

Nice video Nang! I like the close up shots of the model. What stabilizing rig do you use? The coloring was a bit too bright for my taste but I think it was your choice of art which is good.

Thank you, I used a Laing P-03 stabilizer - cheap, affordable and it works! Not sure if you can tell from the video, but I'm not very good at stabilizing lol. Is it really too bright? I asked some friends and a few of them said it's too bright while others said it's okay. Neither of my monitors are calibrated so I'm just going off by what I see.

Looks great! Are you doing anything in particular to combat moire and aliasing? Hair seems to be a problem for me, causing multicolor aliasing.

Thanks
Mick

Unfortunately I haven't found anything solid. Premiere Pro has this built-in effect called Antialias, but all it really does is blur everything. So I just put it on an adjustment layer and turn down the opacity very slightly on clips that have harsh aliasing. Not the best fix, but it worked on a few of my clips.

Are you using 24 fps override in camera. I tried these settings over the weekend I was getting random pink frames in the footage. Are you getting this and just cutting it out? And to clarify you are exporting to 1280 x 720 in lightroom for edit in Premiere?

I used 23.976 fps as override and I did notice a few pink frames on my 1st video, but none on this and my 3rd video. I also have my Global Draw off... not sure if that will do anything. Yes I did little bit of white balancing/light/color in lightroom and export to 1280x720 psd sequences from lightroom.

real nice

Thank you!

Here's my 2nd video I shot using raw format. Like my first one, I shot at 960x544, uprezzed to 1280x720 (psd) in Lightroom, edit in Premiere Pro, added finishing touches in AE, and finally compressed for web via Quicktime.

thanks!

That really looks amazing especially for 960x544. What SD-Card did you use and how much frames did you got per shot?
Man, keep going!

Thank you!! I used SanDisk extreme 64gb (45mb/s). I believe it's near continuous shooting at this resolution, but I'm not sure. I never hit the max frame on any of my clips.

Nang,

Picture profile settings whilst shooting raw are irrelevant. The only thing it will affect is what you view on the LCD screen. What you're capturing with raw, from what I understand, is the data directly from the sensor before it goes through any processing (such as picture profile application).

I usually use landscape profile to view on the LCD to help with achieving critical focus.

Ahh ok I see, thank you very much!

Hey guys I have a question, are you guys using a specific picture style? Or just setting to Canon's neutral settings? I've been using VisionTech picture style, but was wondering if I should stick to something more "bland/neutral" and do the color retouching in post.

Thanks

If you have a CUDA based card, then Davinci Resolve Lite is your best friend. Saves a TON of time processing the raw frames.

I really really want to try out Resolve, but I'm running on an Alienware 18x r2 laptop with Radeon cards :/

I was skeptical about shooting 960x544 but uprezzed to 720 looks better than 1080 h.264 for sure. I'm going to try and shoot something at that resolution during the 4th. How many frames were you getting its probably pretty high.

I actually don't know how many frames, but never had any skipped frames in any of my recording at 960x544. I believe it's near continuous at this resolution? On my last shoot (another model) I switched up to 1280x544. The image quality is better compared to 960x544 uprezzed, but it was annoying having to stop at certain points and waiting for the buffer to empty. I missed out on a some good looks from the model because of this.
