How do I "unwatch" this thread??

Haha nicely done

What camera (ml and canon) settings are you using? Is Dual iso enabled? Which build are you using?
#29
Wow this went a long way since I was here last. It seems kind of stupid to suggest at this point, but make sure your output colorspace is not different than your timeline colorspace (or that both are bypassed, or that RCM is off altogether)
#30
I see. I've got 2 workflows that I use for different things, but they're basically the same they are:

MLVFS (mlv to DNG)
Resolve (color and export prores)
Premiere (final arrangement and export)

Only difference in the alternate workflow is that I sub AE for Resolve to color. I know my workflow isn't the best way to do things either, but I like it.
#31
No comment on the color management settings in resolve...?
#32
Haven't watched the vid just yet, but I have a question about your workflow. Why do you use resolve, AE, and premiere?
#33
Check your color management settings. If you went mucking about with them at some point you could've mucked something up
#34
Ok that's what I thought, but wasn't sure if that's what was meant, or if it was shot at 37, and placed in a 24 frame timeline (by the way, how does THAT work? Skipping frames, or what?)
#35
For my own sanity here.. When you say the footage is "confirmed" to 24 frames.. Is it slowed down, or no? I can't tell and it's driving me insane
#36
@nutsy it is indeed referred to as datamoshing. Did you find out how to do it? There aren't really any plugins that will give the same effect. If you google further you'll find lots of tutorials and other fun ways to break your videos and images.

The echo effect in premiere can achieve something very vaguely similar to the dragging effect you're talking about, but it's not quite right

General Help Q&A / Intermittent flashing red light
April 16, 2016, 05:05:09 AM
Nightly.2015Dec20.5D3123

The red light on the back of cam flashes intermittently while in photo mode with live view off. Camera seems to operate fine, but I've never noticed this before. The light does not flash while in ML menu, but starts again sometime after leaving. The light flashes every 5 seconds.
#39
Not a problem. I'm definitely not a pro when it comes to this stuff, but I'd say I've got reasonably decent problem solving skills so I try to help out whenever I can :p

When you say you "tried various things" in mlrawviewer, what do you mean exactly? Did you change the debayer type?

Also, in resolve, do you have highlight recovery on?

very nice :)
Whats the deal with those camera moves?? They look awesome. Are they all organic, or were some somehow made/enhanced in post?
#41
From what I understand, Adobe handles debaying better than resolve, this may be the reason these artifacts become visible.
As far as lowering the quality the artifacts are probably just getting "covered"
In mlrawviewer, try changing the debayer algorithm see what effect that has
Lastly, in your video, there are still artifacts in the same place in the AE example, but they don't have the colour
#42
If LR color rendition is superior to RT and C1 seems to be superior to LR, then it seems like C1 will be the one to go with here.

I'm really interested in finding out if anyone has used C1 to either process ML raw video, or even silent pictures DNGs or mlv>DNGs  (frsp).

Wrong. Processed files are processed files.

Example: 9 is the result of an addition. Now tell me which numbers are used to get this result.


But why bother keeping the original format? If your goal was to make 9, does it matter what it's a sum of once you've reached it?
I understand that this thinking leaves no way of reprocessing your work, but once a work is complete, why would you reprocess it?
#44
I just might give it rawtherapy a shot too, but the difference (as far as I can see from online comparisons) goes beyond just fine detail. The color rendition of C1 also seems to be far superior to Lightroom/ACR. Is the same true of RT?
#45
Ah I kid you not I was just thinking about doing some sort of project with the pink corrupt frames a couple of days ago!

I think the best way to get them is by pushing the ML settings as far as you can. So all the bells and whistles (overlays, zebras, focus peaking, scopes, etc.)

C1 is mainly for Photos afaik but should be interesting to see the differences in between.

Yeah it's a raw developer just like Lightroom. I'm gonna do some tests between AE and C1 as soon asap

Better than AE since it uses same algorithm as ACR?

Yeah I would assume so. I don't have access to my computer to check it out for myself, but all the comparisons I've seen between C1 and Lightroom (ACR) are far in favor of C1 with C1 having noticeably More fine detail and better color rendition.

I guess the problem C1 has with DNGs is that they don't contain the cameras original metadata unless the camera natively captures DNG so I don't know how that would pan out with our lovely MLVs; although, I think MLVFS preserves the metadata, but I'm not sure if this would be the same as what C1 would get from a CR2
#48
Ahh thanks for the free trial tip!
What kind of limitations are we talking with DNGs? I'm really taken with the comparisons I've seen around between ACR and C1. I suppose I could always try it for myself, but I thought I'd bring it up here in case there are others who aren't aware

Raw Video / Re: Help: Noise in the shadows

@audionut I see. I see. That all makes a lot of sense. Thanks for laying that out for me

Raw Video / Re: Help: Noise in the shadows
March 24, 2016, 04:39:13 AM
@audionut quick slightly off topic question: I see people suggesting to switch to Nikon as an option frequently when people (complain) about noise or dynamic range, why is this?

The photography studio I work for shoots Nikon, and I shooting a d800 for them, and the noise is far worse than my 5d3. I notice their photos are able to pull a lot from shadows and highlights (D4), but the shadows are always noisy too
