Thanks Danne!
To understand the new menu structure, I suppose I'll read from the old post and as far as it's possible for my layman understanding;
- try it out myself.
At the moment I can't even manage a continious rec. with higher resolution...
I can't put 12 bit losless on, etc.
But I will try that now...
I want to switch quite simply from FF-HD-25p in best possible quality -
to a higher resolution (with the lowest possible crop factor (around 1.80 or lower) and continuous recording.
Until now:
5dmk3
1.1.3
fast KomputerBay 64GB CF (no SD)
crop rec 4k Build 2018-07-22 13:09
mostly 3072x1320 1.81 crop (5x) or FF-HD
12Bit losless

With the problem in FF-HD:
In 12Bit losless it comes to "vagabond" pixel errors at edgy spots that look like digital fireflies:)
If I take 14 Bit or 14Bit Losless: ColorScience tilts from ISO 800 clearly into the reddish...

I'll stop right here in the forum with my inflationary lush text:)
I don't hope that someone will explain everything to me...

----The only question I have is whether I can find solutions to the problems I outlined above here in your build.

aah, now I understand the principle that in the old post 23may2019 the builds are refreshed

Hi everyone,
I have been filming with 5dmk3 / 1.1.3 / crop rec 4k build 2018-07-22 13:09 until today.
In response to a problem-question in the forum
https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19300.msg233752#msg233752
- Bender@arsch kindly recommended me to try out Dannes builds.
Since my english is very poor (deepL) , I find it difficult to find out which last build runs well...
I would be very happy about any help!:)
(I can well imagine that sometimes the nerves are on edge when such fun-loving newcomers like me
come for the for the xth time with similar questions).
Sorry for that!:) & thanks for all!

Hello everyone!
I have been filming for many years - also professionally, exclusively with Magic Lantern.
I am extremely grateful to the whole team here!!!
I have a question about a small problem and maybe someone can help me.
(Since I'm not English-speaking (deepL) there's a good chance that the question has already been covered enough
- however, I can't find it.)

I am filming with
5dmk3
1.1.3
crop rec 4k Build 2018-07-22 13:09
mostly 3072x1320 crop (5x) or FF-HD
12Bit losless

The thing: When I filmFF-HD in 12Bit losless it comes to "vagabond" pixel errors at prominent - edgy spots that look like digital fireflies:)
If I use 14 Bit or 14Bit Losless instead (with FF-HD) then I have the problem that the ColorScience tilts clearly to reddish from ISO 800...

In short: Which setting (or build) is best for a clean FF HD shot.
Although 12 bit losless is a bit coarser from the noise, I prefer the sunnier, fresher tint and it would be my choice....

I hope I'm not getting on anyone's nerves - maybe someone has a hint.
A thousand thanks for the great work here!

A hint / wish of a happy! 5dIII ML raw user:
Canon's Zoomin button on the left side contradicts any logic. If once magic zoom/full screen - focus control would be possible via half press shutter, it would be a big deal!:)

The focus control via focus ring unfortunately means that the sharpness has to be changed in order to control it.

Yes, we can't say that often enough! I have the same feeling of real deep gratitude for what other people are doing for me somewhere in the world... Most of the video aesthetics you see with the new cameras is not my thing. Only through Magic Lantern I get into a visual territory where it starts to be fun. What ARRI does with their cameras is a kind of a benchmark. They put the aesthetic image over tech specs and pixel counting. With the 5dIII ML raw I have a camera that feels like a cousin of the Arris:). We brought two movies to cinema and honestly I feel such a loyalty and love for MLraw that I prefer the compactness and the inconspicuousness over an ARRI - also for the future:).
Cheers & a lot of thanks!:)

I am not a native english-speaker and I do not understand exactly what this is about here...
But somehow I have the impulse at this point -
- to say my deepest thanks to the developers of ML for everything that has been and will be done here.

We are currently in postproduction for our second documentary which will be shown in cinemas.
Shot with 5dmk II & III ML raw, many sequences also in 3K raw.

My conclusion: There is no camera under 20.000,-€ which I would prefer!
It's just great, stunning and wonderful!
The images are not of this shimmering thinness of so many 4K shots.
They have substance, thickness and depth.
 I love it!

Thank you!:)

Hi everybody,

I´am new here, maybe I have an question that has already been answered...
- I have an Issue with MLVFS using After Effects CC (current version):

After adjusting the DNG in the Camera Raw Window, I get a sequence in After Effects, but the Raw-Adjustments only affects the first frame...

For any help, I would be very grateful.

Thanks a lot for the link. But still no solution...
I will try it next days, with a non-original battery.
I have stressed the camera and the battery with many uploadings and putting the card in and out, without waiting... my fault.

[the red light beside the wheel shine during OFF position of the camera.]

Hi,

since today, my 5dmk2 seems dead...
The camera does not boot!

- these are the things which happens - under different conditions:

- when I - turn the battery in, with the bootable magic lantern card:
the red light beside the wheel shine during OFF position of the camera.
- in ON position - nothing changed. Nothing worked, camera is dead.

- when I turn the battery in, without a card -
display says (in OFF position):

"firmware update program
update file cannot be found.
Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again."
- in ON position: nothing changed. Nothing worked, camera is also dead.

- when I turn the battery in, with the original canon firmware on the card (after erasing the card with mac utility)
the display says in OFF position:
"firmware update program
loading..."
...and then going off.
- in ON position: nothing changed.

I will be very thankful for any help!

greetings
Volker
