Totally forgot that, thank you Danne!

Hello, I encountered another trouble with the crop. Everytime I press the shutter halfway, the 10x zoom is activated.
On other ML versions, the preview kept the same, just the overlays went OFF.

My settings:
Display / Clear overlays: HalfShutter.
Prefs / LiveView zoom tweaks: Zoom on HalfShutter: OFF
Prefs / LiveView zoom tweaks: Zoom with Focus Ring: OFF
Prefs / LiveView zoom tweaks: Zoom with old button: OFF

Any idea? Thanks a lot.

Totally off-topic sorry, don't know where to post:
What "battery.drain.rate.rev" is use for ?
It gives me different numbers with the same battery on different Custom modes.

Thanks,

S/.

I have reformated my SD card in ExFAT and now I have access to 11 characters in the Custom modes and Prefs / Config preset. 
Not sure why not 12, but only 11 of my 12 characters names are showing.

S/.

Strange, I have tried to name one for example "1_1080_24fps" and it appears "1_1080~" in ML menus...

S/.

So far so good. I have changed the folder names without problem (respecting 8 characters).
The file names aren't doubled anymore and all seems OK for the moment. I will keep you inform if I find other things. Thank you so much for your work!

Not sure what you asked for, but here are some tests hope it will help. Tell me.
First of all if I stay with CM1 to CM5 folders all is working properly smoothly. Not a single problem when switching from any Custom modes.

5DMKIII - 1.1.3 - crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2020May17.5D3113 (fresh install).

5DMKIII on.
Prefs / Config preset / OFF - Startup key - CM1 - CM2 - CM3 - CM4 - CM5
CM1 chosen.
5DMKIII off.
5DMKIII on.
Prefs / Config preset / OFF - Startup key - CM1 - CM2 - CM3 - CM4 - CM5 - CM1 - CM2 - CM3 - CM4 - CM5 (now the CM1 to CM5 access are doubled in the list).

Changed a folder name from my Mac: CM2 -> BANANA.
All is OK. Move from CM1 to BANANA and reverse also (from 5DMKIII). All is good.

Card on computer. The BANANA folder is still there, but ML has recreated the CM2 folder.
Changed all the folder names (from CM2 to CM5 because CM1 is used in CURRENT.SET).

5DMKIII on.
Crash detected error message.
Card on computer. All the folders are here, but ML recreated the CM1 to CM5 folders also.

Restart from a fresh copy of the crop_rec.
Make more tests.

My conclusion: The crash seems to occure when there are more than 5 folders in the SETTINGS.
As soon as I start the 5DMKIII, as the crop_rec recreate the missing CM1 to CM5 folders, there are more than 5 folders then, so at the next reboot a crash occures.
Not sure of the 5 folders limit, but it crash when ML recreate other folders.

Thanks,

S/.

Too pity to get the Custom modes out. It was such a time saver.
Is the problem coming from your crop-rec version and the fact that you have modified it for the EOS-M or the trouble is coming from a1ex Custom modes development?
I ask because I don't know if I have to report to him on his forum side.

Thanks,

S/.

Do someone has succeeded in using Cinelog-C from MLV App?
This is my primary tool to get log files from After Effects but my workflow is a bit cumbersome:

Canon 5DMKIII -> MLV Files -> Switch.app -> DNG Files -> After Effects / Cinelog-C -> ProRes4444 Files -> Let's start working or go to sleep ;-)

Thanks,

S/.

Thanks. I have tried to create 13 folders CM01->CM13 (and deleted all others), but ML doesn't seem to like it. Crash log at the beginning.
Plus in the Movie/Custom Presets menu, only 6 choices appears: OFF - StartupKeys - CM01->CM05, others folders don't show and you can't make them to appear by using the wheel like in the Prefs one. Can we really change the folder names?

Second question, some people seem to get 1920x1080 48fps, but the max. here is 1920x1050 48fps, do I miss something?

By the way, the anamorphic preset is really cool, thanks a lot.

S/.

Hello all, is it possible to get more than 5 Custom modes (CM1 to CM5)?
I think I have red somewhere we could create our own folder, but when I do that, CM6 for example, the new folder is replacing CM5.
It still appears in Prefs/Config options though but there some folders appear twice.

Hello, I made some tests recently 1920x800 - 60 ips - 14-bit lossless with 1920 50/60 3x3 crop mode.
Here is the problem, no clue if it comes from the crop mode or other ML parameters.
Any clue? I speak about the banding effect on the shot. I have it on lots of shots but never experienced that before.
I use the last Switch version to go from .mlv to .dng.

Thanks,

S/.

Thank you for the kind words, it made my day!
As for the grain, no Filmconvert, just a 35 mm film grain I have downloaded from the web and altered with some AE effects to make it none color uniform and more fine.

Hello everyone, here is BOB, my second short film entirely shot with a 5DMKIII and, OF COURSE, Magic Lantern ;-)
All the short has been edited, vfxed and graded inside After Effects by myself.

Hello Danne,

I would like to replace all my old MLV workflow with Switch to speed up the process...
My concern for the moment is the White Balance, how can I manage it like in CR for example where I can tweek Temperature and Tint?
Is it possible to do this from Switch?

Second question, I use Cinelog-C (http://www.cinelogdcp.com/) to convert my MLV footages.
Is it possible to apply it directly from Switch as I don't know if it is some sort of LUT or not (the file extension is .dcp for the 5DMKIII)?

Thanks for any help on this.

S/.

Yeah, you are right, the average file hadn't been created because of the 14-bit lossless. I have followed your way and all is OK now, thanks a lot.
The difference between a standard file and a processed one isn't astonished, but the noise is a little bit less pronounced and seems more random (a sort of visible "pattern" effect disappeared).

Thanks...

S/.

Hello Danne, thanks for giving Switch to the ML community. Your app is dope!
Love the fact that all is included.

A question about darkframe workflow, because I don't seem to understand it even if I watched your youtube videos.
The purpose is to reduce noise at big ISO right?
I have shot two files at 1920x800 - 60 fps - ISO 3200 - 14-bit lossless
The first one is a normal shot.
The second one has been made with same parameters but caps off and really short (200 frames).
I've put the two .mlv files inside a folder at the same hierarchy level, then run Switch.
I've tried to activate the darkframe average automation but nothing came from it.
Could you please explain in short lines how to get a result, a .dng file processed?
I don't know if it is even possible to do this or if you get two files to process in a comp ap. later...

Thanks a lot,

S/.

I've deleted the files because it was only some tests to see if the workflow was good and consistant. The last .dng seems all OK for me.
I have recorded new files today, and no problem at all. Strange...
Perhaps some error from AE or Camera Raw as I use a demo version from where I am for now.
I will record some new files tomorrow to see if I can reproduce the problem and try to see what is the origine (if not I could send you some files).

Thanks,

S/.

I have tested several .mlv files shooted in Crop mode 1920 50/60 3x3 (1920x800 - 60fps), exported in .dng from Switch and imported in After Effects via Camera Raw, but each time I have tried to import them AE crashed. I have succeeded in importing them by deleting several on the last .dng images (10,20 ou more) of each files. Each time I have manually stopped the recording on my 5DMKIII (it hasn't stopped due to lack of speed). Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

S/.

Totally dumb question (but to better understand what is going on): what are the differences between 3.5K 1:1 centered x5 and 3K 1:1 for the end result? Why using the first one over the second or vice versa?
I have managed to record 3072x1286 - 2.39:1 files with the two with correct LiveView Preview (Frame mode / lagged) and very close framing (just few pixels differences)...

Thanks,

S/.

I have tried to open it in Automator and step by step execute the tasks, all is going well until the last script which is understood but the cr2hdr window doesn't open.

Nothing, the window doesn't open.

Question: Would it be long to make cr2hdr.app also works on OSX 10.6.8?
I have two systems on my Mac and 10.6.8 is my choice for the moment, so each time I test ML I have to restart. Don't ask ;-)

Hello A1lex,

Do we have to do something when the Memory patches is turned red, red on Code:FF28CC3C?
It seems to have appear after my first test with the Apr23.5D3113 build when testing 1920x960 50p, I had the screen filled with error alerts, then this...

Thanks,

S/.

No, I've used mlv_dump from the Terminal. I will test cr2hdr.app, which has just converted a 4096x1366 test file to .dng flawlessly.
