Mushrooms are easy to grow, they grow by themselves on the roof of my bathroom.

Well that was entertaining... now where's my dual ISO H.264??? I didn't read this whole thread to come up empty handed  .

Also I must note that when you first open MLRawViewer it wont let you open up a DNG file... you first have to gain access by opening an MLV and then once your in there just drag the .DNG folder into the MLRawV GUI and it will work.

p.s. Also no program I've used (PDR or Son of a Batch) seem to eliminate all Pink and Green dots... does anyone else feel the same??? Can you eliminate all autofocus dots? how?

No worries! Also I didnt realise you could put DNG's into MLRawViewer to watch them either, so cheers for that tip!

Yeah neither did I until I tried it out, you never know if you never go! haha. Pretty handy work around I think. But with my limited storage capacity and mediocre grading skills I think I'm going to stick with regular old h.264 codec for a little while longer.

We should make a sticky at the top of this thread about the "shutter bug"... since half of this thread is people asking the same question.

Thanks dude! I used the Mystic program to chroma smooth and then imported the DNGs into MLRawViewer for conversion to .mov. Seemed to work pretty well, PDR was pretty crappy from my trials with it.

I've posted this in a few topics already but figured it was probably better to give it it's own topic.

What I want to know is, is there a program for removing pink dots directly from MLV footage?

A program like MLRawViewer with pink dot remover capability (maybe it's possible to integrate) would be awesome!

I'm no programmer so I have no idea how hard this would be to complete, but I'm sure some folks on here have the required skills or at least know how feasible that might be. This would be a huge step for EOSm and 600d users.

Thanks for the help,
Alex.

I thought I would post this in here as it's also similar to the eosm.

What I want to know is has (or is) anyone coming up with a quicker fix for Pink Dot Removal from MLV files??? If we had a program like PDR for RAW but instead did it directly for MLV files it would make the work flow far more manageable and enticing. MLV with the benefit of audio is amazing but the extra steps needed to delete the pink dots is killing me.

Imagine if PDR could be integrated into MLRawViewer somehow... that would be amazing.

To add further to what I'm asking, I am aware of PDR for RAW files but what I want to know if there's something that can do this directly for MLV? It would be awesome if it was integrated into MLRawViewer somehow... surely there's someone who can do that .

Really stoked with the progress so far of ML on the EOSm. I've been using the latest nightlys as they release and I'm never really having a problem with anything I do, really stoked with it!

One question I do have however as I start to muck around a bit more with RAW is this:
What is the easiest way to remove the Pink Dots from MLV footage on Mac OS??? The fact that MLV now records audio on the M is amazing, but I can't for the life of me find information on a simple process (or any) to remove these pink dots from MLV on Mac OS.

Please help me internet gurus!

Access to ML menu whilst using an external screen can be done by holding down the Trash Can button for 3 seconds. I usually set my camera up well before plugging it into a screen, but if I need to do anything it's usually only changing shutter speed and iso and this is quite easy to do by simply holding down the trash can button then going into the shortened ML menu (the one you get to if you press the Menu button after holding down the trash can). I'm not sure what other controls you would really need to use quickly on a shoot that aren't easy to get to.

Most likely is that you have too slow an SD card to use all the things you have enabled with ML. What SD card do you have and what are your settings?

I do not see increased noise, actually next to none, but then I use higher bit rates, usually 2.0x CBR. 1 example of this was taking a still of the same shot of same scene of crop vid, the video was much better in shadows (details & low noise) and less geometric distortion.

I agree with that and also usually film with 2.5x CBR and audio enabled. I have had people comment on videos I've taken noticing better details in the shadows and also even a lack of rolling shutter.

I just modded the Fujinon 1.4/9mm C-mount to fit my EOS-M... what  lens! I used a Fotga adapter and had to dremel both lens and adapter to get a flush fit, now it focuses to infinity.

When I tried changing from 1x to 3x filming the same thing I noticed the 3x video to be sharper... that's just my un-scientific observation. Also I think when what your filming has moving objects it makes more of a difference. This was shot in 3x crop mode.

I think that means you need to shave some metal off your lens or adapter (or both). What adapter do you use?

What adapters is everyone here using?

Hi,

New member here. I have been using ML on the EOSM for about the last month now. I love the output of the crop mode and the ability that gives to use different lenses. I haven't had many problems and so far ML has been quite stable, only a few times I've had the recording stay stuck on and no buttons working, I've had to take the battery out to fix the problem, but it's not a big issue.

I have one question (which I searched to find an answer for); is the Audio Monitoring feature working on EOSM? and if not (which I assume) is there any plans to get that up and running? It's something I would find very useful as I assume other people would also.

Thanks for all the hard work that's been put into ML by all the people on here for the EOSM so far! I'm more than stoked to play around with this camera because of it, I'm no good at coding but I'm more than happy to help test this stuff.

Cheers,
Alex.
