Hello guys,

First of all I would like thanks to all Magic Lantern Family who developers, coders, forum members, testers etc, they are so hard working to get a new opportunity to us, and they did it.

Last a few days in here, I have read 32 pages of crop_rec and there were too many new links in it to solve issue or getting understand whats going on to here.. (I guess 55-59 pages)

how to build, what I need to do those settings etc..

But believe me guys, the Magic Lantern Forum is DEEP ocean. Sometimes It is kinda of hard to find out solution what you need to get.

And again, I know lots of people does not know an English fluently that's why if we use visual expression, it will be more useful in every aspect.

After I have read lots of post and watch a few videos which they are useful thanks to them

Hello guys, I upgraded the latest firmware dji ronin. After that The briefcase and underslug mode is not working anymore. Do you have any idea how should I do? how to fix it?
cheers

It's official! Quicktime for Windows is no longer supported by Apple. What does this mean for all the filmmakers out there who rely on the ProRes line of codecs?
Security holes in Quicktime for Windows

Nowadays, many cameras are capable of recording to the popular ProRes codec in various flavors. The codec is being used widely throughout the industry due to its robust set of features and its capability of being integrated flawlessly within a wide range of workflows. Every major NLE system can handle the *.mov file containers.

Two weeks ago, the security company Trend Micro published an article in which two major security flaws were uncovered. The article came along with an "urgent call to action" to immediately uninstall QuickTime from Windows machines to maintain data security.

According to Trend Micro, there are two primary reasons for their vigorous statement, first:

    Apple is deprecating QuickTime for Microsoft Windows. They will no longer be issuing security updates for the product on the Windows Platform and recommend users uninstall it. Note that this does not apply to QuickTime on Mac OSX.

More importantly:

    Second, our Zero Day Initiative has just released two advisories, ZDI-16-241 and ZDI-16-242, detailing two new, critical vulnerabilities affecting QuickTime for Windows. These advisories are being released in accordance with the Zero Day Initiative's Disclosure Policy for when a vendor does not issue a security patch for a disclosed vulnerability. And because Apple is no longer providing security updates for QuickTime on Windows, these vulnerabilities are never going to be patched.

Apple's official statement

And now, Apple have confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that they are not going to support Quicktime for Windows anymore. So what does all this mean for us as filmmakers? Well, it is quite a shock, because as of today you end up having two options as a Windows user:

1) Uninstall Quicktime – the safest option, but you'll end up having no chance to play back or edit ProRes files anymore

2) keep Quicktime – shouldn't be an option. Only do this if you have no alternative or if you are finishing a ProRes project as we speak
Solutions and workarounds

If number one is an option for you, then you should switch to a different codec right away, such as DNxHD or DNxHR. The problem lies in the fact that many modern cameras record to ProRes. Not quite as many are capable of recording to DNxHD/HR. So there should be a swift response from the industry, too. Red, for example, offers a free update for their whole lineup of cameras which unlocks recording to DNxHD/HR.

Adobe did make an announcement on that very issue, too. It is a bit confusing, though. They recommend uninstalling Quicktime for Windows. On the other hand, they also admit that some core functions of their Creative Cloud suite may be affected by doing so. Hopefully, they can come up with some solution very soon.
Conclusion

The seemingly small step for Apple to discontinue Quicktime for Windows could turn out to be a significant leap for the camera and filmmaking industry. Hopefully, the manufacturers will come up with—and provide—some solutions quickly. Red is a good example that others should, and will hopefully, follow.

For now, make sure to run an anti-virus scan on your Windows machine and think twice when handling Quicktime movies on Windows machines!

Please Note: The link to Wall Street Journal points to a subscription based article. However, the first paragraph tells you nearly everything that you need to know.
UPDATE

As you can see, there is a vivid discussion going on in the comments on this matter. It seems that only the Quicktime player for Windows as well as the web components such as browser plugins are affected by these security flaws. NOT the ProRes codec itself. So, it should be safe to work with Quicktime encoded files as long as you solely use the codec (within a NLE), not the player or browser plugin. However, you should be cautious when handling Quicktime files on Windows machines.

Hello Everyone..

I am the VFX and editting guy but after all this, have decided to shoot my own RAW video that's why I have bought Canon 5D Mark III and bunch of Komputerbay 64GB 1066x CF cards. I am really good in theory after read all kinda of post in here but not in practice. Whenever I want to find out an answer of my questions, all post had been written about 1-2 years ago. So you know there are lots of builty and update comes out and gettin little bit confused while trying to find out an answer.

And I want you all to give me a back up point until I get my own settings of RAW video. Of course I will try to a new settings on ML but If I fucked up, I need to gettin back to first point that you told me. So could you help me out about this subject? Because I couldnt find any tutorial in 2015.

- What is the settings of having 1080p raw video. Cropmarks, res, override etc.
- What is the settigns of having 2k or 4k?
- What is the settings of having timelapse?
- I am trying to fix to audio issue with a external audio recorder.

And I need to install to camera just last built? What am I suppose to do while I decide to install.. Which firmware is cool? 1.1.3 or 1.2.3? If I downgrade or upgrade to firmware on camera, might be big problem for me?

As a final.. I love this community really I do so take care of yourself and have awesome, amazing shoots.
Cheers
