Thanks you @deadcode for your comment !

I will keep in mind all your feedback.

I have to say im feel better at images shot/color grading than video editing, im learing how to make it more nice and dynamic.

Then I spent too much time on this video I think I made a kind of disgust at the end. I will do a new upload with corrections.

@Tyronetheterrible

Thanks for your feedback !

Hello !

A short video of 5 days in Malta.

All was shot in 14 bits lossless 1920x1080@30p continue
Graded in Resolve 12.5 with the Free Ektar 100 LUT

No one corrupted frame or any issues for a total of 300GB RAW.

Cheer !

Not agree, experimentals builds help to understand better the universe of Magic Lantern, it's a big help for the community, the developpement is more fast, Alpha testers are more large.

Do not delete them, the simple warning message in the top of page is enough. People have been warned from the beginning with the risks of Magic Lantern.

Have you noticed the ISO suggestions when selecting a lower bit depth from menu? (at the bottom of screen)

Of course i noticed these suggestions, now i read your article i'm able to understand better.

I will do differents tests in low light condition with different range of ISO. eg : 12800 ISO to 800.

So, if i understand well, in this way, the noise is our friend if we need less posterization because the 8bits depth ? So it means that if we film a scene very illuminated outside with the 8bits , we have all interest to use a variable filter ND.

@quentin

Haha it could have been worse, it's really the mess on my desk. But for magic lantern I make an effort.

Just tested the new 14 april build.

I'am able to record in crop mod with 8 10 and 12 bits lossless. (but now in crop mod, i can't use more than the 2:35 ratio "eg : 3104x1320"  and FPS are locked to 29 if we dont use FPS override. Even if we are in PAL)

This is just crazy in what the 5D mark III is become.

This mean we will really record 3.5k 4k continue.

Here a zip with DNG if some want check how look 8/10/12 bits lossless

Three samples from 3284x1320@24 clip

@aschille84 glad to know you like it !

I did a try too :

https://vimeo.com/212477560

3009 x 1280  + 14 bits lossless = continuous shooting.
Just don't shot in ETTR, keep an eye on the compression percentage and check the histogram and you're done.

I used the new amazing ew ML Cinelog-C to Ektar 100 LANDSCAPE lut of hyalinejim

I'm feel quiet  :



Thanks to @a1ex for the script and thanks to @janvkem for explanations.

Very nice work @hyalinejim.

Im a big user of Koji Color LUTS, but now i think to use your. More easy to grade with it, more neutral. The shadows are less crushed too.

I get a black DNG (((((

Can you share a small part of your MLV file ? Or record a very short part of movie for get arround 10 frames.
Be sure you're using the good version of mlv_dump too.

I went to the Canon SETUP3 menu to start a manual immediate cleaning
The camera made some noise as if taking 2 pictures then this greyed menu item became yellow again.

This is normal, it's the same for me and for all 5DIII users.

infos here

Sorry a1ex didnt saw this message ! Thanks for the remind.

[raw2dng.c]

And I'm getting vertical stripes on the .dng exports.

I also noticed this issue with the 14 bits lossless feature.

Even  if i change the code in the raw2dng.c file :

Code Select Expand


      if (stripes_correction_needed)
    {
        printf("\n\nVertical stripes correction:\n");
        for (j = 0; j < 8; j++)
        {
            if (stripes_coeffs[j])
                printf("  %.5f", (double)stripes_coeffs[j] / FIXP_ONE);
            else
                printf("    1  ");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

to

Code Select Expand

     printf("\n\nVertical stripes correction:\n");
        for (j = 0; j < 8; j++)
        {
            if (stripes_coeffs[j])
                printf("  %.5f", (double)stripes_coeffs[j] / FIXP_ONE);
            else
                printf("    1  ");
        }
        printf("\n");
    }

For constant vertical stripe fixs with mlv_dump. (Thanks to Danne for this tip)
The fix don't appear in the command line.

This kind of bug is usually very serious.

Is this mean we could get a semi brick or definitive brick ? What is the long-term risk ?

Thanks for the update A1ex, today it's my birthday, it's a nice gift from you

I believe this has already been said, but the best way to use the lossless 14bits is to forget to shoot in ETTR.
Do you think there is way to take the control on the compression codec ?

Updated the preview with something a little more usable. It's color (though still low-res and non-realtime) and only drops to grayscale when recording speed becomes critical.

DAMN ! This update is very promising. I did some tests and yes it's more comfy for framing.
Thanks you for all these exciting features A1ex and all the team.

Le 70D n'est pas encore porté pour la version Unified, pour des soucis de stabilité je préfère m'en tenir à une traduction portée uniquement sur les versions stables.

Love this work, very inspiring, thanks for sharing

[magiclantern-crop3x.2017Jan13.5D3113]

Hello,

Sometime when recording, the first shot come with this message screen :

Code Select Expand

FAILED 'WBAL'. queued: 7 failed: 1 (requeued)

What does that mean ? This not affect my footage. I'm just curious to know more about this message.

For info i use the magiclantern-crop3x.2017Jan13.5D3113 build.

EDIT :

That seem to come when i change the white balance just after starting the camera and record the first shot. I guess easily 'WBAL' = White balance..

=> Tried with the last unified version, i don't see this message.

Here a video who show how the error comes.

I do not know if my tests will serve you for anything but it's done.

Thanks for this detail Danne.

How can we change the mlv_dump code for doing the same job of mlvfs about this issue ?

The code from Dmilligan for sync audio in Resolve is here but I am completely incompetent to integrate it in mlv_dump.

I noticed something strange when i want read my DNG sequence with audio into Davinci Resolve 12.5.

When extract with mlv_dump, the .wav file isnt combined with the DNG sequence.

There is no issue when it's done with mlvfs.

 

Is there something to change about the output file name command ?
Actually, in my folders from mlv_dump it look like this :


And my command line :

Code Select Expand

@echo off
for %%a in (*.MLV) do ( md "%%~na" 2>nul )&(mlv_dump.exe -o %%~na\%%~na --dng %%~na.MLV )

I Wonder if it could be possible to translate like Poedit, for Wordpress module/theme translation.

Its not automatic translation but maybe it could be possible to create different variable in the ML code for native langage and translated langage if exist in a single file with all translated words.
