Hey a1ex thanks for the articulate response, I now understand how you are negotiating with the canon firmware. I'm thinking the 1:1 crop will be good for tight slow-mo shots. I see how my writing has a demanding tone to it however it wasn't my intent to seem demanding or to demand anything. When I read about the different modes I like to understand the oddities and quirks.

Squig I've tried to order an Alexa but my credit card has been acting up so I'm stuck dicking around with my 5d3 and this magic lantern bs, I'm suffering a lot but I'll survive.

Thanks again for everything!

Why does it have vertical stretch? I'm also reading about noise problems and other issues.. it doesn't sound like a 60p solution, it sounds like another compromise. So far the best compromise in my opinion is to just shoot 39fps in 1080p mode and set the shutter to around 180 - 270 degrees. It is basically continuous and the image quality takes no hit. For human expression and movement it feels like slow motion.

So you shot 1920x672 and then cropped it in post? How would you frame in camera, tape? (blah...)
And how does live-view behave, proper resolution full colour feed?

Would you put the camera on a tripod and shoot some water moving and share?

Am I the only one who once recording using old crop mode the liveview goes from respectable to about 3fps with intense latency? Fixing would mean during recording a reasonable frame rate with an acceptable amount of latency that allows you to track objects.

Okay but when using the new crop mode and shooting 48p or 60p at 1:1 doesn't that require you to shoot at an exceptionally wide aspect ratio? Can you view it with the Canon live-view or only the hacked live-view at 3fps or whatever?

Can you share your good results using the optical flow you spoke of? To be honest I'm hopeful but doubtful..

Is anyone going to fix crop mode's live view?

If we could record 2k with a live-view that maintains a reasonable frame rate with a latency that is acceptable (perhaps sacrificing colour/resolution entirely) thus allowing objects to be tracked on a tripod or steadicam in proper framing I think this would be impressively significant.

In my opinion, following that the only other thing left on the table would be recording 1080p or damn close at 48p unsquashed. 38P in 1080p looks better than 60p squashed in 720P mode. Can someone squeeze another 10 frames out?

Is there potential for someone to make these two things a reality?
