Hey fellas

Has anyone had experience with both 70D and 7D magiclantern?
I'm planning on changing my 7D for a 70D mainly for smooth auto focusing with STM lenses.
Since ML is working really good with mine i wanted to know if at the moment there are any large drawbacks? photo or video.

If I use an 8mm lens and shoot video in crop mode (3x) what is the equivalent lens size ?   Is it 24mm?   38mm?  Does anyone have experience with the Rokinon, Bower, Sayang, 8mm lens they would like to share?  Thanks. 

I had the same idea but i tend to use really good glass in crop mode, since my Samyang isn't really that sharp i don't use it.
And about the lens, i keep myself out of f/3.5 as much as i can. it has a good improvement on f/5.6 and maximum sharpness at f/8.

I really enjoyed watching it, Awesome Work!

LR 5.7 works fine for me on Mac running Yosemite. You prefer LR CC? Isn't that LR6?

What are the benefits in comparisons?

Just don't feel like paying subscription to Adobe monthly for CC... I find that INSANELY ridiculous!

If you feel that way its probably not gonna worth it, but basically now there is HDR and Panorama inside the lightroom (Raw) which eats lots of ram.
also based on your configuration real-time performance is increased (GPU-based) solved a big pain of slow 1:1 panning for pixel peeping and sped up some sliders.

Creative Cloud is good in most aspects , having Photoshop and Lightroom for 10$ a month doesn't really sound that bad.
actually it opened doors for those who are interested but not going to use 'em professionally.

I believe you can copy the .cubes from within MLRV and use it for other apps.

Just simply copy the files and place them into content files for LR5.

Good idea , gotta give it a try.
By the way LR5? not CC yet?

Is there a way to have the "Log 8" or "S-Log" in Lightroom to work with?

I tried it again with mystic , that did it!
All mlv's were in the same folder and now the output is 4368 frames 14.4GB.
I think if i try it again with MLVconverter it will work fine , it just doesn't show the total frames at first.

Thanks guys!

What size are your frames (i.e. 1728x972 etc.)?

Yeah..
here's a screen grab :

[file.MLV]

Retested both (on Linux), had one file.MLV and file.M00, moved M00 out of the way, opened the MLV to see 130 frames, moved the M00 back and opened MLV to see 157 frames.
The MLV file has ~4Gb, the M00 file has 1.1Gb.

I did the same thing but either times i get 1230 frames. (FPS override 5fps)
Also i checked the output dng's to see if their size match a single MLV or MLV and the follow-ups together, it was about 5GB so nothing there...

[mlvfs]

It creates .M00, .M01... and so on? It's ok, your raw processor of choice should pick those up and load them by default ( at least mlvfs and mlrawviewer do )

Somehow they don't , i don't know what to do.
I tried renaming the file type to MLV but didn't work.

MLVMystic wouldn't detect 'em either...

When i'm recording MLV right where the file reaches FAT32's limit it creates new files that
are not MLV and i couldn't convert them using MLRawviewer or MLVconverter.

I'm using Windows 8.1 and Canon 7D latest nightly.

Quick question , When i'm recording MLV when the file reaches Fat32's limit the new file's Type is different.
It looks like a sequence that starts with .M00
Is this an option to change because i can't convert these , i tried renaming it but it got crazy.

Tiny update... : )

It was a while that i didn't shoot a video with my 7D , i got a slider and gave it a shot.
Turned on the MLV Raw at Full res (though at 2:1 Aspect ratio) did some test and what i encountered was
the footage going back and forth in some frames , imagine if frame number 50 for example goes between 20-21.

This is probably more likely due to post process i did after but
I thought maybe this is related to camera so i posted it here.

Nightly #181 , FPS override turned off , yellow camera icon indicator during the shooting.
Workflow: MLV converter 1.00 > Output DNG > Import in Lightroom > simple processing > Export Jpeg > Premiere CC as Seq
Problem can be seen while i hold down right arrow key in lightroom's library.

PS: In case you're interested in the slider, it was a very cheap though nicely built Kamerar 47" Slider , Smooth and easy to use.

I was checking out Silent Picture module and realize Full Res is not there , is this feature for 5D MK III only?

Due to its price, Very few people are using that Grip anyway.

No expert here , but due to users wanting 4K on their DSLR's it may be that the new 5D Mark IV have this feature.
If porting ML to it was possible is there a way to Reverse-Engineer the feature?

I thought asking more questions was implied...maybe not.

Anyway i think the problem was that one of the images i was dragging to the App was a normal image
that caused an interruption or something.

Can you upload an unprocessible file?

I'm not sure if that's the right word to put it.
It's like , before i selected the files and drag'em to cr2hdr.exe and it did its thing.
but now the command just get stuck!

Btw my network is kind of unstable right now to upload/download a file , messages should come a bit late too i guess.

What about searching the Dual-ISO-postprocessing thread?

None led or confirmed me of a new one to download.

I Took some Dual Iso shots with the latest version , i think due to updates the old software i have can't process it (Cr2hdr)
Could someone link me if there is a new one?

Thanks.

Sometimes image appears to be darker in live view which is most of the time for checking accurate exposure.
I have Exp Simulation:on too.

Nope. The live view can't get that fast. You can override the 60P modes to 48fps though. Or 50P if you're on pal.

What about other bodies?

How ML overlays/display filters (ie ML preview)/etc are synced up with the LV image. These functions take more CPU and are less reliable on this generation of DigicIV cameras. The magic zoom actually relies on making the CPU busy to slow it down enough to not flicker.

I See , although personally i didn't have a issue with GD at least , Seems synchronized to me using Zebras Under/Over , Focus peeking , Magic zoom etc.

5DII also has the same shitty sync functions as 7d. You're just going from a 2 proc camera with crop sensor to a 1 proc camera with an FF. You can still get bad frames there. The only things that mitigate bad frames on this generation are faster cards and less doodads turned on while recording.

I was going to switch for a better low light performance (1 and 1/3 of stop) and some lens options. (I do photography mostly)
Those damaged frames didn't happen for me after re-installing.
but i don't get what do you mean "Sync functions"

While we're on memory:
last night a camera store that i go to gave me a new card to Test (Sandisk Extreme 32GB 800x)
Using the formula (Speed as X / 1024 * 60) which for this one goes about 45MB/s was actually accurate , ML benchmark showed the same.
I could record 1728x972 (16:9) MLV for more than 20 seconds which is enough for me w/o any skipped frames and it looks good.

BTW I had a question for a while , Is there a way to record MLV's on higher frame rates for slow motion?
FPS override doesn't go up when i'm on 1080 on Canon's menu.
And it's cropped on 720.
