It happens well after recording has finished.
This a recent thing, previously this didn't happen.

...when pressing AF-ON button to focus on 5D3 immediately after filming a clip in RAW. Happens every time.
Can only get it working again by switching camera off then on. Then it happens again.

Appreciate any insights

Thanks guys for the ever so slightly smug replies but how come you both got different results to the same formula i.e.
Audionut 86.51 compared to chmee's 88?

Thanks dmilligan

Would hope to shoot at leaf at 1920x1080 or highest res possible at 25fps.

Your formula might be easy to calculate but not to read beyond what seems like W x H x FPS.......

Nope

Whilst it's sure to be on here somewhere - it's not been found, despite searching, reading and searching some more - so forgive the dumbass questions -  here goes...

What is the official minimum write speed required for a 64gb Komputerbay 1066 card for shooting raw on a Mk3?
Does one test for speed by doing the 5 min benchmark test in move mode with global draw off, then calculating the average from the 8 writes speed listed?
How does a "below minimum speed" card affect any attempt to record RAW e.g. constantly skipped frames, corrupted downloaded files, freeze, no record etc?

Thanks for any help with this

Well, I don't know what to say - they seem to be playing fine now...Does a mac need to "warm up??" Strange.
For anyone else whose computer is "warmed up" but is still having the same issues, I found this not under "choppy" but "jerky".....

Shot RAW at 1920x1080 at 25fps (Canon menu), FPS Override OFF.
Converted to DNG via RAWMagic, processed in AE with Frame Rate in Render Settings changed from a wrong 30 fps to 25fps, outputted to 422 HQ and results are disappointingly choppy.

Where has it/have I gone wrong?

thanks

[Yes. You can convert to CDNG or ProRes.]

Thanks and appreciate what you guys have done/are doing, meanwhile.....

Yes. You can convert to CDNG or ProRes.
Can't find how to?

So, what the heck are you talking about?

See reviews despite rating
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/40156/osxfuse

It works fine here and that has nothing to do with Microsoft.

My mistake - tried opening first item in download instead of the osx one - but not sure how to get it to open..."There is no application set to open the document "mlv_dump.osx".

Thanks a1ex

MIRawViewer is a converter?
MLVFS is for MLV files only and also it appears to involve downloading OSXFuse which hasn't got great reviews.
mlv_dump (the one for OSX) won't open as it's a Microsoft thing.

What's wrong with using RawMagic on regular non-MLV RAW footage to convert to DNGs and then work on them in Camera Raw?

How do you attach a dng to a post?

The problem seems to have sorted itself out for now - even though the DNG dimensions in the Finder are 1917x1076, when in Camera Raw, at the bottom it says 1920x1080.

But on another note -  why do they look ok when previewed in the Finder but pink in Camera Raw?

Thanks for the reply Midphase.

Settings in ML that might be of relevance are:

FPS Override   25
RAW video      ON, 1920x1080
Asp. Ratio       16:9
Card warm up 1GB
raw_rec          OK

At the bottom in Camera Raw where the size and other info like colour profile, file size etc readout are, when clicked - to make and save any changes made - there is an option in the drop down for 1920x1080 but why 1904x1064 in the first place and there are times when 1920x1080 is not an option in the drop down.
Surely, shooting 1920x1080 would keep everything that size throughout.

Could it be my card is too slow? Not sure how to read 5 min benchmarks to determine speed - is it the fastest write speed?

thanks again

Noobie alert!!

Apologies in advance but despite spending much time to the simple answers for myself, I now have to ask.....

Is it a case of just picking out the highest write speed you get from a 5 min bench test that determines the speed of a card? Also, what is the minimum card write speed for shooting RAW on a 5D Mk3?
What happens if your card is not fast enough - do you get footage in smaller dimensions or missing frames?

thanks

5D Mk 3
Shooting plain RAW 1920x1080 not MLV.
Using RAW Magic to convert to DNG and files then come out 1904x1064 - then at the bottom in Camera Raw it says they're 1820x1024.

What happened to 1920x1080?

Thanks

How do you get 2k files in the first place?

So how do you get 2k-ish footage in crop mode?

http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9211.0

Thanks for the replies.

So a 5D Mk 3 cannot produce 4k video with ML natively nor in post via interpolating due to quality loss - but it can produce raw footage which compares with 4k? For some reason I was under the impression that 4k had become a feasible option.
This chap thinks it is but I don't know how he got his 2k files to start with.

Whilst there is a limit to upsizing where image quality begins to degrade and it sounds like 4k is a stretch too far, upsizing isn't cheating, it's just upsizing.
Not using video for public viewing nor film festivals.

Thanks for the Resolve 1.1 heads up. How does it compare with using Camera Raw and Photoshop. Would you say it has better algorithms for interpolating?

To get a 4k video? i.e. 4096 x 2160

Searched and googled and searched some more but found surprisingly little out there as how to get from 1920 x 1080 raws to 4k (4096 x 2160).
Upscaling has been mentioned a couple of times but is it as simple as interpolating in Photoshop to get to 4k?

Yes, I am new to this and thanks in advance for any pointers and for ML
