Somebody say something about Audio???

Filmed almost entirely in raw using AD's October 24th build. I felt like I took a risk shooting 10-15min interview sessions in raw, but everything held up perfectly.

One or two hacked GH2 shots in the B roll. Graded with ColorGhear

Looks extremely good!

Are you using some anamorphics in some of the shots? Noticed the bokeh being all nice and vertical.

I updated my original post with the password.

aah thanks man!

Lighting is filmlike and at 1:41, when you see that guy from the side and he opens his mouth just a bit more than a human should, that was really good.

saw your video before you had to put on a password and I thought it looked extremely good!

Looked sharp and couldn't see any noise as of what I remember.

But now that I'm prohibited from seeing it again, I really wanna see it

Have a 5d2 and never seen that.

I think you should try reinstalling ml and see if that takes care of it.

I have very hard getting framing to be accurate on newest build.

Very rarely I get accurate framing in camera. I'd like very much if the white frame from previous build came back again.

And before, I could record without liveview but still see frame counts and expected and all, but now I need global or no info at all and usually global doesn't record.

I think I will be reverting back to previous build.

a.d.: "The Bad thing: I don't have much time and I also need some help in documentation: post production, sound, proof reading etc..."

Let me know how a none-programmer like me can help.

Yep.  This worked for me as well.  Same issue.

Great!! been wondering if I was the only one

Happy to have helped

I get good speed like everyone else on newest build.

But I get very random loadings of the modules.

Every third or forth time I turn on the camera, it starts without any modules and says "Modules will load next time" or something like that.

no biggey really, but I see that could be a problem if I was out running and gunning, as I'd have to restart the camera to capture "that ONE shot!!" :.

But perhaps this is just me? cause then a complete re-install might be in order.

Try RAWanizer.

works wonders

Do you find your 20 year old version of photoshop very useful?

Yes, as long as I stick to my Cerebral 5D RAW II integraded Brain augmentation. I'll be just fine.

I started writing a long reply explaining my idea of this, but it really doesn't matter. You like renting and thats cool. I like owning my own stuff and thats cool(er).

CC just seems like enslavement to me.

Same difference, the fallacy still applies. There will always be more potential customers. If Adobe manages to sell a subscription to 'everyone who's going to buy' on November 5, 2013, there will be more potential new customers entering the market on Nov. 6, and in just a matter of a year or two marketshare would have dropped from 100% to maybe 80% without loosing a single existing customer, just from new customers entering the market. Growth - everything in econmics is based on this idea. There is no equlibrium you can reach. The same principal is why money just sitting in your bank account (or under the mattress) is loosing value.

When you buy it, you've bought it. When you rent it, you keep paying for it.

When that new generation born on the 6th reaches their 20th birthday, who will have spent more money?

It's to reduce hot pixels, if I'm not wrong.
Saw it in previous pages here.

IMHO it's not suitable if you don't have hot pixels problem.

Yes, I read about the hot pixels too. Alex was responding to a.d. on that matter.

But as I can not see any difference at all between the two raw2dng's output. I'm wondering if the Median algorithm and the other things a.d. changed, even work. And even so if these features do work, every pixel is the same. Colour, placement, brightness. no difference.
There obviously must be some difference between the dng's, as the size of the files are not the same, though it is minimal, only few bytes. I would very much like to know what it is

I'll do another test, with a RAW file that I know had a few burned pixels in it. See if there is a difference.

Comparing the cost of one program to the whole suite is like apples and oranges. I buy Production Premium which is a suite containing Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, Speedgrade, Encore, and more. Upgrading that suite every few years has been far cheaper than the $500-600 USD per year Adobe wants to lock me into. I don't need to upgrade constantly. These tools are already very powerful and pretty mature.

But worse than the money short term is the idea that an Adobe subscription locks you into paying Adobe whatever they decide. You want to re-open an old PPro CC project five years from now? You'll have to pay Adobe. That is not an issue when I own the software.

Adobe has incentive to be nice to customers now - bring as many people into CC as they can. But down the road, when everyone is invested in the Adobe tool chain, and switching costs are high, Adobe can easily start charging more, and delivering less. They will have a monopoly on tools for opening Adobe projects, and they will be able charge more and more.

Not offering standalone licenses is only in Adobe's interest. I think the decision is driven by greed. If they actually cared about the consumer (silly notion, I know), they would offer a choice of standalone licenses as well. Let consumers decide if the subscription model is preferable, not the stockholders.

Hear hear!!

We are the 1% who don't get CC

I've just simplified thing: It took some basic ideas from median cr2hdr with code improvement: AHD, chroma smothing and 5x5 etc...

I've done some testing with the raw2dng you gave me.

I converted same file with your new raw2dng that has Median algorithm and with the old raw2dng (says Last modified July). I can not see any difference at all. Pixels are exactly the same on all. Both in shadows, highlights, aliasing, moire, noise you name it. There is no difference in pixels. Colours and brightness are the same for all pixels.

The only difference I see is the size of the dng.

Median: 2,71 MB (2.843.648 bytes)

Older: 2,71 MB (2.848.256 bytes)

What is the median algorithm supposed to do?

What are your RAW settings?

Are you recording RAW or MLV?

What raw2dng or other converter are you using and what version?

EDIT: Got super slow connection, so took me awhile to see your video.

It doesn't look bad to me.

The aliasing in the roof and other straight lines is a well known issue with the 5D II because of it none existing VAF filter.

What lens were you using. Didn't happened to be a 16-35 ?

Hi folks!
I finaly migrated from 550d to 5dm2 and got some questions.
I registered basic preferences to CF1 mode for RAW shooting, but how to change Shutter speed on the fly without entering ML menu?
Different lamps have different frequency and sometimes it's flickering at 1/50th.
With t2i I could change shutter speed by holding down Av+Dial, how to do the same with 5dm2?

If you look at the Shutter activation button (the one that takes a picture), right behind it there is a wheel. Scroll it left and right to adjust Shutter

Newest version of raw2dng for 5D2.

With Median Algorithm. (if this is better or not, is up to you to decide)

Thanks to a.d.

Happy to have helped 

Did you noticed with last build [af9a60fe144d 2013-10-24] in RAW video (not MLV) 1880px is 1872px + black borders?

What do you mean by + Black borders.

My DNG's show as 1880 and I see no black border.

Hello.
Here is a screenshot from ACR in Photoshop.


I do not have this option for resizing in After Effects - is there a way to use ACR resizing in After Effects?

Thanks

If you open the DNG sequence via Bridge in AE, then you will get that option.

I get sharp video and lovely grainy noise with my 5D2.

You are new to the RAW phenomenon and doing something wrong.

And post your settings.

Colored playback in-camera for RAW video!! Thank you!

for mlv or raw?

Cause I can't playback mlv and raw is still black and white for me.

@a.d.

Thanks man!

It works and with RAWanizer.
