ML DNG's working fine again in Resolve 10 Beta 3

Thanks vyskocil & rockfallfilms for both reporting this broken and fixed!

Many thanks for the feedback on this Levi!

I've not got time to dive into the files before work (thanks though) but how close to Production quality is it do you think?

Thanks Levi, this looks good for being the first prototype!

One small thing, can you remove the s from the https in your Vimeo link - it will embed in the forum properly then.

Thanks for this Levi, looking forward to the videos!

New 50D user here, iv used ML on my mkii many of times and i spotted a difference instantly and that is the mkii has movie viewer for live view, when using the 50D for RAW video time lapses using fps override, if i use 1fps is what being shown one the display how it will look? i have a ND filter if so as it looks very over exposed. Im wanting to do day time time lapses btw.

Cheers in advance.

Hi Doyle,

What ND filter are you using?

I've found that an ND8 is fine for 2.5 FPS but at 1 FPS the image is over exposed no matter what I've tried to do to stop everything down.

Have a look at this.

The first part is 2.5 FPS and needed little work to correct the exposure, the last scene is 1 FPS and took some work to bring it back.

Of course an overcast day might be OK with an ND8 - try out an ND16 and see what the results are like, I'll be getting one to try slower framerates.

Cheers
Phil

I reported the weird time filename in the 50D thread, I went from a 59 to a 60 with two filenames.

Hi all,

Just a couple of FPS Timelapse shots from the top of 2 Swiss mountains last week.  The weather was perfect, clear blue sky with still some clouds floating around.

TL 27 Aug build
Mix of 24 FPS, 2.5 FPS and 1 FPS as the end, this blew out my ND8 filter but was able to recover it somewhat in Resolve afterwards, isn't raw great :-)

I was out today shooting in the mountains and when I got back and transfered the raw files to the PC I noticed this.

10:60 ??  Shouldn't this have rolled over to 11:00?

I've been in direct contact with Mosaic Engineering. In fact, I am sending them a 50D tomorrow so that they can fit and design the new VAF filter!!! This is going to rock!

Great initiative Levis, we should contact them and express interest in buying a filter for the 50D - if there's enough interest for even a single run of them it would be great!

Here's their email address - just de-spam it. contact (then the at sign) mosaicengineering.com, I've sent my enquiry 

I would love that. Digital panning is a great option when there's no physical space to put a slider (or for tight budgets). I don't use it more because I can't smooth start/stop and, also, because when I enter zoom mode the images pixelates and goes black and white, so I can't see on the screen where I'm focusing. But that only requires me to make focus marks and that's not a real problem.

Hi Sergio

Have a look at this feature request I raised the other day.

Feel free to expand it if required.

Don't forget to contribute to the payment of the camera JulianH purchased for 1%. He's stuck his neck out for us and any contribution is welcomed.

Send him a PM to get more details.

I've PM'd him.  It's a great thing he's done for the 50D ML community and he shouldn't have to carry the cost on his own!

The button presses cause a disturbance even on a tripod.

True, but if you go wait -> shift one pixel then you at least have the opportunity to crop the button press wobble from the start of the shot.

Agreed, 1%.  Let's get raw video working fully first, but it would be nice to have then ;-)

Yes, thats speeds it up. 

I was wondering about a much, much slower movement that once started doesn't need the button pressing.  So you have the camera on the tripod without touching it again once panning has started and it'll slowly pan across the sensor in the direction of the arrow pressed.

Possible?  Desirable feature?

Thanks
Phil

Hi all,

Can you add a feature to specify the number of frames per pixel move?  So, for example a value of 50 @ 2.5 FPS would work out at nearly 11 seconds per pixel move.

Would be fantastic for FPS Adjusted Timelapse.

If you run at 24 FPS higher values, such as 250 or 500 might be good as well.

Thanks
Phil
