The single sd slot is a buzzkill as a 60D owner there is no reason to upgrade. My next purchase is a 5D mk iii maybe two, I am curious to see what the 7D mk ii does if they do it brand it that way.

I've been testing Adobe's CinemaDNG Importer for Premier Pro, (Which I explain how to acquire in this post: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6769.0)

Although I go over in detail some of the advantages and disadvantages of the plugin in the post, my personal view is that for projects that are last minute and need to be done at speed it is excellent coupled with RAWMagic, I experienced no pixels and only a few magenta frames using an hourly build from yesterday (unsure of which) and despite being only 8-Bit (see the post for more on this) I was able to get some really nice grades using Neumann Film's Blockbuster Looks package!

Those grades are pretty nice to be presets thanks for sharing I havent followed Neumann Films in so months. They are only a couple bucks to thats not to shabby. I plan to do some test this weekend I'll pick these up.

I also found the Mosaic filter a bit expensive, but it works a treat! It wiped out horrible moiré issues with brick structures I had. Check out the demos they have for fabric issues too. I have it in place full time (I pretty much use my 60D for video only), but it is not too hard to remove it or re-insert it as needed. Given the limited market, and high quality requirements, I don't think they can sell it for a lot less...they also have superb support and are very nice on the phone and in email. I found it well worth the money.

Does it soften up the stills? I got the latest build on my card what is the best resolution to shoot at for around 15 secs of video. I shot some lower Res ones last night were pretty noisy in upscaling. I need to get some day shots later in the week my schedule super hectic.

Sorry if this has been answered I just read this thread front to back. How do these aspect ratios correlate to resolution once rendering to a deliverable extension. Like I know some are 2.35:1, 16:9, but even recording at raw 960x540 (16:9) would seem pointless. Is there a sweet spot that we can get some detail better than h.264 but with record times of 30-40 secs for raw? I know there is limitations with the hardware. I'm new to the film world but a tech guy just trying to get educated thanks. I have the 2.3 build of ML other than training and learning how to shoot raw any real world applications on the 60D outside of testing?

Sorry - did not answer the render out question.

We used Raw2Dng to get dogs that we loaded into Photoshop's Camera Raw. From there we spit out tif image sequences. THose were brought into FCP 7 and rendered out as ProRes HQ. Edited in ProRes HQ  with a little more color correction using Magic Bullet Looks.

Thanks for the details amazing results again. Sounds like you definitely need a workhorse machine to get through the initial DNG process. I'd have no problem taking a few extra days to get these results if there wasn't a quick turn around.

Thanks Man!

Thanks for the vid you might want to check your export render settings it was pretty pixelated. I know its a lower resolution jsut curious what was your settings? I havent had a chance to play around with raw on my 60D yet.  I got some shoots this weekend didnt want to chance since I have 2.3 working good. I'll give it ago later this weekend next week and put on some shots.

Nice shoot! Care to go through your on set workflow ? Man that looks amazing what did render out too?

Hey everyone this is my first post on the forum but I have been a long ML supporter and have ML on my 60D. With this breakthrough of Raw video on Canon DSLRs, I have been weighing my options on my next purchase. I was in the market for the BMCC but I really love the idea of being able to shoot raw video and raw stills with the 5DMk3. Also the fact you can shoot up to 3K in 1:1 crop mode is amazing. All the footage I have seen is mind blowing. I havent really found a thread on here after searching for a FAQ or consolidated answers. I have a few questions I am a new shooter still learning only about 3 years under my belt so excuse my ignorance lol.

1.) I've scrapped the BMCC purchase and fully plan on getting a MK3 in the coming weeks. So how many compact flash cards would I need before having to dump footage? (If my calculations are right I would fill up one card in like 7 or 8 minutes). Are people using hyperdecks and ninjas recording to larger ssds seems to be a more viable solution if capable?

2.) I havent been able to find anything on an audio solution this has to to be done off camera? Or can I shoot in camera audio and back it up off camera?

3.) I know its still in its infancy but any news on recording 60D raw via clean hdmi and a recorder. Would love to use it as a b cam if it possible.

Thanks in advance for any direction and advice. I give my complete and up most respect to the ML team for an absolutely amazing job. I fully plan to donate to more development once the funds become available.
