The one right before the stretch, and the one right after.

here are the CR2 files

I can't really tell what you mean from those photos. I've never had or heard of any issues like this. Perhaps post a video of the whole timelapse or post the original CR2s from the camera, to something like drop box.

here is the video of it : https://vimeo.com/96233305





It seems like at around 05.5 seconds the image crops or stretches. This only happens when using the ML intervelometer, Auto ETTR was off. Post Deflicker was off. and this is from the 5/20 build.
Raw error still pops up but i dont ever see anything to come from it. maybe this is the problem the error is coming from?

Hey guys,

I have been using this method for some time now. I have not had any major problems. but lately when i shoot timelapses using the Intervelometer and Auto Ettr or sometimes just the intervelometer by itself. when im done and in post processing i see that sometimes the image size changes or crops randomly at some point during the timelapse but usually towards the end. My average photos per timelapse is around 300 photos. Below is an example of what im talking about, do you have any idea of what may be causing this?

ps. I also get a message "RAW ERROR" on the display sometimes and im not sure why or what that is coming from.

A short film collaboration with Chris Walker for his single "Drips"

Directed by Blaine Suque
Cinematography by Ray Sargent / Blaine Suque
Edited by Blaine Suque

Shot on a Canon 5d MK3 Via Magic Lantern RAW
and a Sony FS700. No steadicam was involved, this was all filmed either on tripod or handheld from a back of a truck and stabilized later in post. Color Grade via Film Convert.

Thank you to Anthony Vega for providing us with an amazing classic car and John Ray Sargent for his Cinematography.

Hey guys, just started using the MLV viewer and did a quick test today. everything is good and working. Just one question that is hard for me to figure out that maybe one of you can answer, What kind of proress does MLV viewer export to? And are the DMG's that the MLV viewer produces the same as what RAWmagic would produce? THANKS GREAT WORK>> AMAZING WORK!!

Hey Guys,

Ive been shooting Raw with my Canon 5dmk3 since August now, and earlier in my stages i was always able to convert my DNG's to Tiff or JPEG, and import to quiktime pro 7 and export as Pro Res 4444. Now i cant, its always a black screen on my export, all other Pro Res codecs work but 4444 never anymore. I have read up on something about Pro Res4444 needs an aplha channel, does this have something to do with my problem? I could always export pro res through Davinci Resolve but i always run into crashing problems since my computer isnt the most speediest.

Im also noticing that my Slow motion Raw Video clips are not as sharp anymore either, I ususally shoot around the 1500 16/9 range and stretch it out or export as 1920/1080 in quiccktime pro 7. Is there something im missing.?

very nice. where can i find this color grade?

Does anyone know if post deflicker works properly in Bulb mode without Auto ettr (since Autto Ettr only works in Manual Mode).? The reason i ask is i just recently bought the digislider and motor for doing time lapses . Unfortunatedly it only works properly in Bulb Mode so id really like to incorporate the magic lantern post deflicker with it to look flawless in those day to night or vice versa . Any help or thread suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys for the hard work and dedication.

Look at the time stamps on the files. Are the CR2s ahead of the XMPs?

Ive just realized that theyre are getting named differently

for example

photo
_33A0001.CR2
xmp
333A0001.CR2

Whats the way to make sure they get named the same ?

yes please

Hey Alex, can you help me out here?

i have been updating with the nightly builds for the last week. Suddenly my XMP files are not being read by camera raw. I formatted my cards and re-installed the latest build of Magic Lantern , as i thought it would be the solution to this problem but it wasnt. I tried again and again and still ACR wont read my xmp files, which is very weird because last month i was doing a couple timelapses and it worked no problem. Is this a issue again in the newer builds? I have read the thread where it use to be a issue in the beginning stages back in May by setting your color space to sRGB instead of AdobeRGB as a workaround. But this whole time i have been shooting on Adobe RGB and havent had a problem with a timelapse until now. Can someone please point me into the right direction or let me know if theyre having the same problem?

Just to make sure these are my settings just like the tutorial front page.

Autto Ettr = always on (default settings)
Post Deflicker = XMP (default settings)
Intervelometer = 15s

My camera is in Maunal Mode, custom WB, and color space Adobe RGB

with newer builds my xmp's are not being read by Camera Raw anymore, is this a bug or something wrong on my end?

How would i go about doing that? can you break it down for me?

Canon 5d mark 3

I dont really remember what last build worked because for the last month i would update the recent nightly build every week. but i did re install a build from october and it still isnt working correctly. I did switch my color space to sRGB and it worked but not properly like Adobe RGB use to.

Maybe your xmp files where never read by ACR.  To test this hypethesis you need to open one of the cr2 files and look at the exposure compensation, if there is none then that is your problem.

or

Maybe your interval is too short for ETTR and Post-processing to work properly.

well in ACR when i scroll through the photos, the exposure values do change so i know its reading it correctly. I think you might be right on the intervals though, i shot it at every 10 seconds because it was right at sunset (40 mins until the sun is down) and didnt want too quick of a timelapse. I will try again with a longer interval, it seems like that might be the problem because my night long exposure timelapses never have a problem with that. Also do you notice the jump in the timelapse? i want to beleive it can be slight movement during the timelapse but i dont think it is, my cameras and set up with really stable, could it be the shutter effecting it?

Thanks for replying by the way!

Here is a timelapse that worked out ok for me doing a night to day timelapse of the stars in Joshua Tree. Everything seemed to work out fine with just very minimal flicker. (after a applying the GDB deflicker in premier its flawless)

But I cant seem to get a day to night timelapse locked down yet, here is one from this evening. At the end of my shoot, i scrolled through the shots in camera and everything looked really good. But when i got home and imported into camera RAW, the exposures were all messed up drastically, the first 2 shots would be good then the next 3 or 4 would be totally overexposed, and that order would just keep repeating itself. I also got a lot of small jumps in the frame(not sure if it was wind or not, but only happens on these sunset timelapses i try, never at night.)  Any idea why this happened?

It was shot on a canon 5dmk3
slowest shutter at 1/30
highlight priority was at 6% for the sun flare
sidecar was xmp
and everything else was at default.Ettr level was good the whole time whole shooting

P.S. It is frustrating when people just ask before they even read the manual and try to understand!

totally understand, but i have read it and still cant find the thread or description of setting a minimum shutter, it only says direction of setting the slowest shutter. My question would be would i have to shoot in shutter priority or is there a option to set the MINIMUM shutter inside the Magic Lantern Menu. Yesterday evening i shot a sunset timelapse and i got massive exposure values switching towards the peaking of the sun going down.

How do we set the MINIMUM SHUTTER?

very nice, can you explain what resolution you shot this at?

What is the advantage of ETTR besides capturing more detail for the image? Also will Post Deflicker perform well without it? every time i use it with post deflicker its way overexposed, in camera raw its at +500. My settings are not drastic either, shooting inside house lighting out a window with medium sunlight brightness at 1/25 shutter, iso 100, f4.

Perfect, thanks so much. At first i was trying to use the UFraw method, thats what i was asking about mostly, but i think ill be switching to XMP for my workflow. Is there any difference between the two?

I have but i am not on windows, most of the apps and programs are windows based, doesnt run smoothly for me trying to run windows programs on my Mac. Thats why im looking for a solution within the adobe creative suite. Oh really ? that simple? hmmm i will give it a try, thanks a lot for responding Danne! Im assuming that you can save the files with the deflicker xmp as a batch?
