This mode will be loaded at next reboot.
Please, help!!!

try reboot 

for Colour Correction like white balance, highlights and shadows I'd use ACR.

If you're going to do Chroma Key, then highlights and shadows should not cause any flickering because of the constant background. But if you got light aimed towards the lens and the light gets blocked, then you will very likely experience flickering with those sliders being used.

I shot a chroma key and abused the hell out of highlights and shadows and had no flickering, because of the constant levels of dark and white.

But don't how this will affect your workflow. I just like ACR's quality better.

I have a request for raw2dng.

a.d., can you hardcode 5D MK II profile in to the latest version of raw2dng?

Vision Log requires correct Camera Profile to work and I only found an old version of raw2dng which has 5dmkii hardcoded, but I'm worried that it might be worse quality in that old version than the newest. Something about black levels, I believe.

format your 128 gb card in camera

do the same steps as you did with 32 gb.

if that doesn't work, format 128 gb again and try this:

Quite some time ago I did complete re-install, but I believe I installed Alpha build first, then the latest version from a.d.

ps. when I tried making my CF card bootable via EOScard, I could only choose ExFat, so that didn't work out for me. Your card needs to be FAT32 to work with 5dmkii

16 bit

I'm also running 8.2 and not working.

I'm running 8.2 and it is working

It all depends on your raw2dng. Some raw2dng's have hardcoded Canon profile information.

Others have none and will not include any camera information other than Embedded. 

You need to find a raw2dng for your model, which can be very hard. my best advice is you search your own computer first, for "raw2dng", see what versions come up and convert just a few frames with each version to see if any cam info is applied. ctrl+a will abort and ctrl+c will exit the raw2dng. This helped me find a version that worked with my camera.

You can also manually add EXIF data, but you got ask one of the brains here about that, I have no idea how to do that.

Hope this helps

yes it works, but is for MK II.

One question- if i run rawanizer and export to cineform and open in premiere, i have no real acces to the debayer, like i have it in acr, right?

OKey, then the 5DII is hardcoded in to that raw2dng. I will edit the post above.

oh that's real good to hear.
prores or dnxhd?
and after just a few takes, my 5d was getting real real hot!

Yeah, mine got really hot too, but didn't smell of burned wiring though

Exported to dnxhd, with adjustments done in ACR beforehand.

The analog ISO's are 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 (maybe 100, not sure). Theses are the only ones you get in RAW. All other ISO's between or higher than those are digital and will not affect the RAW file.

I use Neutral and set sharpness to max 7+. For extra focus peaking with Digic. Sharpness does not affect RAW files either.

Looking forward to it, Vikado

I love seeing this camera in action!

I shot some Chroma Key scenes with my 5d2 for a short, its in post now and I can't wait to see the outcome. The VFX guy was very pleased with the 14 bit quality of the chromas.

I tried using the one from batchelor but my dngs are still plain. No camera profile info.

Can you upload the raw2dng you're using please? :3

thanks

I'm not so good at this dropbox thing.

Tell me if this link works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/29qkvnf3pa1c6b7/raw2dng.exe

[EDIT: The raw2dng is for 5DMKII only]

Just wanna add, that I found a way to make RAWanizer include camera profile information. EDIT: The raw2dng is for 5DMKII only

raw2dng: https://www.dropbox.com/s/29qkvnf3pa1c6b7/raw2dng.exe

I overwrited the raw2dng.exe file in RAWanizer tools folder with an older raw2dng (says Last Modified 15. July) which includes camera profile, this alone did not work for me (maybe you will have better luck), but then I also copied the raw2dng in to a folder that had RAW files in it, started converting a RAW file with raw2dng - aborted (ctrl+a - ctrl+c) - Started converting that same file with RAWanizer and now RAWanizer includes Camera profile information on all other RAW files and folders, so you can choose correct Vision Log, faithful, adobe standard etc. Hope this will work for others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today RAWanizer did the same crash as ubejavshiy reported 2 pages back or so and I had a while ago too. I couldn't use RAWanizer for quite some time until one day it just worked. But I believe I found the cause of the error and how to get around it.



So RAWanizer spit this message in my face today and I was like "PLEASE nooo!!".

I had chosen a folder that had some RAW files in it and then the program crashed and when opened again I got the message above. So after re-installing, CCleaning, Moving, adding, compatibility, admin rights, you name it and nothing worked. I was pulling the last few hairs out of my head and I pulled the Hard Drive out which RAWanizer accessed last. (Even though I deleted RAWanizer in Control Panel, it still seems to remember its last location)

I Opened RAWanizer and it worked. Then I tried accessing the same folder again and the error report came up again, instead of choosing Exit, I choose continue and chose another folder containing some other RAW files and those files worked with RAWanizer. So I looked in to the folder in which RAWanizer crashed in. Found a RAW file which was 1 or 0 kb, not sure right now. Deleted it and tried accessing the folder again via RAWanizer and voila!! It worked.

So if anyone else got this problem, try this solution

Steven, can you tell me how much DR the 5DII has?

Yo dude!

This worked for me.

try this, if you got RAWanizer.

I overwrited the raw2dng.exe in the RAWanizer Tools folder with the old raw2dng that includes camera profiles. (that alone did not work for me).

Now use raw2dng that includes camera profile on a RAW file, Say you got a couple of shots that need converting. Take the first raw file and start converting with raw2dng, abort it after a couple frames.

Start converting all RAW files with RAWanizer.

dunno if that's exactly what did the trick, but all the DNG's I converted have the camera information now

Hope it works for ya. Not sure exactly what version my raw2dng is, that I am using, but in properties it says Modified 15 July, it's 132 kb (says 133 somewhere) and it does not merge files, but merging works via RAWanizer though. Hope that little info helps you find the version.

I also did proxy tiffs and ProRes 444, just FYI.

Good luck

A way I solved this was by putting all of my seperate RAW videos in different folders, and copied a version of raw2dng into each, and then converted within each of them.

But then I discovered raw2cdng (raw 2 cinema dng) which creates folders for you.

Thats what RAWanizer does and in some cases (apparently) adds exif data too.

And I don't like cdng, I compared grades done with dng and cdng, and to me the dng grades come out better than cdng. But cdng obviously must have some sort of advantage as thats all I hear people talk about. But to me, I get better images out of DNG.

And cdng does not add camera profilfe, which this thread is about

I looked at two different shoots, both converted with the same version of RAWanizer 0.6.0, but one shoot has Camera Profiles and the other does not? Whats up with that?

Alex, are you sure this has nothing to do with with raw_rec or something else in the camera? or is there some bug with

PS. I found a version of raw2dng on my computer, that keeps Camera Profiles, its just such a pain having to drag and drop every RAW file, RAWanizer just works like a horse on that area and it seems, that version of raw2dng can not merge files. I'm no programmer so tried to just overwrite the raw2dng in the RAWanizer folder, but RAWanizer didn't implement any profile. Guess its back to drag and drop hell

They did release some updates for CS6, but you can't expect Adobe to keep adding new features to old versions for free. I think Adobe CC is a pretty good deal and so far I'm pretty happy with the service.

CS6 really ain't that old, ye I understand features, but support for different files and such.. This adobe train is going waay to fast for my liking. And besides, I like owning my own stuff, not renting it.

Keep up the good work, Steven

But when I import some of my older footage, ACR interprets my camera as 5D MK II and I can choose all profiles, like Faithful, Landscape etc..

edit reply: No idea where to find that raw2dng version now

Another note, when ML RAW was new, I could choose raw2dng to be standard program for RAW files, so I didn't have to drag and drop, I could just double click any RAW file and it would start converting. Think it was in June or so, it was not possible anymore.

I'm not a programmer

but how come it worked in the older versions?

I'm quite disappointed that this is not released for CS6. I bought Production Premium Suite and now I wont even get any updates for it.

Quite a slap in the face if you ask me.

I got exactly the same problem, I am using 5D MK II.

Tried different version of raw2dng and all do the same, maybe not the right one.

Looked at older footage, 2 months or so and they are interpreted correctly in ACR. No idea which raw2dng was used for those.

yeah, I wanna add that I also see get Canikon on my 5d MK II.

Edit: This must have something to do with raw2dng, because I tried importing older shoots and they are correctly marked as 5D MK II and there is no WB or tint shift.

If I delete all the other profiles except 5DII in Vision Log folder, then it won't matter if ACR interprets the DNG as Canikon, am I right?

yooo! Need help! ACR interprets my 5DII footage as Canikon. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but as I've started using Vision Log (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=8816.0) I need ACR to interpret the footage correctly for Vision Log to work properly.

I am using RAWanizer. I have the idea that his might be an issue with raw2dng and sought to replace the raw2dng inside RAWanizer with the newest version available from a.d., but the RAWanizer version is 276 kb and the one from a.d. is 132 kb... So there must be something more to the raw2dng in RAWanizer than just the normal raw2dng.

Am I right to assume that this has something to do with raw2dng or is it something inside 5D MK II?

ACR interprets my 5D MK II footage as Canikon.

I believe this is a problem with raw2dng, something to do with EXIF data or something like that (I'm not so keen on all the technical stuff behind DNG's). I always use RAWanizer, is there a way that I can install a new version of raw2dng and somehow make that work with RAWanizer?

And am I right to assume that this has something to do with raw2dng?

I need ACR to interpret the footage as 5D MK II, because I am using Vision Log and it needs to interpret the right camera for it to work properly.
