Danne, Alex,
Thank you! It's Yosemite National Park in California (rock, called Half Dome) a few days ago, i was lucky with a cloudy weather. It was much more beautiful when i drove to that point (Glacier Point), nothing but clouds around and under you and then they slowly started to disappear, you could see clear spots of the valley down there, of rocks around, and i went to parking for my camera but it was too late when i came back

I've just opened this DNG in Photoshop and Lightroom and it looks overexposed (so as google drive shows), but earlier i only looked at all photos in LilyView image viewer on Mac, that shows this photo NOT overexposed, it shows the same how i saw the photo on Live View screen on camera, but the whites are pink: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B47FS5gpVSwOS1h3b214UmZILTA/view?usp=sharing

So as Finder app (native file browser in Mac) shows — pink. So as Footage for Mac app shows it in the app — https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B47FS5gpVSwOeHptZmxkNWtGQkU/view?usp=sharing , and how it converts MLV to MOV video — pink. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B47FS5gpVSwONG9WSWlRV3kyUE0/view?usp=sharing
So i didn't even think to open DNG in Photoshop and Lightroom because everywhere else whites are pink.

I read somewhere on this forum, A1ex replied to someone on this pinkness, but i didn't understand that, so i figured that this is the temporarily downside of 3.5K. By the way, i suppose pinkness happens only in high-resolution video (crop mode)... As i recall. Also i thought that this Footage for Mac app doesn't remove this pinkness, but i read somewhere that MLV_dump does. Maybe i got it wrong. But wanted to try.

Maybe over-exposition is my fault during shooting, i'm not a professional photographer or videographer, but that's how i saw it on camera screen.

Adjusting in Lightroom shows that this photo is not fatally overexposed, all details are kept. So i don't know what to think about it (what is the reason):

This is the MLV, video is 11 sec of static view, but you can see the clouds are slowly moving:

It was 3.5K according to instructions in this thread above from @HJfilmspeed https://vimeo.com/217313287 so it's 12 bits but the Footage app says it's 14 bits.

Thank you.

Danne, thank you for quick reply! Is the DNG file of the video enough? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B47FS5gpVSwOU3NxanJDaS1TNUE/view?usp=sharing

I have MLV now of 1,19 Gb.

Gentlemen, I've been searching everywhere but haven't found instruction on usage of MLV_DUMP on Mac. Can you kindly help me?

I'm using Footage for Mac app, it's good, but whites on video are pink there. I suppose it will not be a problem using MLV_DUMP(?)...

Thank you!

@hjfilmspeed

Thank you very much for the video, i did everything you said. It works now!! I really appreciate it!

@whysodifficult:

Are you choosing a lossless compression? 3.5k only seems to work continuously with 12bit lossless. 3k maybe with 14bit lossless. You'll have to lower frame rates down significantly to get 4 or 5k. They are not feasible options for traditional frame rates.

If lossless compression means 10-12 bit instead of 14 bit, then yes, i tried it as well. Thank you for the tip!

I wonder can there be a difference between 1.1.3 and 1.2.3 firmware versions.... I'm using 1.1.3.

@whysodifficult I am currently making a video tutorial for 3k if you can give me to the end of the day

Thank you very much! I am looking forward to watch it, so as other people, i'm sure!

Hello everyone,

Could someone explain, please, what i do wrong? My brain is just exploding of complexity.

I've been trying to shoot 3k or 4k or 5k for a few days using instructions here, but everything either work 5 sec or switches to 1920 automatically. Every day it behaves differently. One day i managed to work each resolution but time was different - 3 sec mostly. Couldn't do what i've seen others shot.

Right now i tried to shoot 3,5K crop according to instructions and it allowed me to shoot only 5 sec, also preview freezes. Maybe i've done something wrong with FPS override? I tried 23.976 (from 25), Exact FPS - 23.976 and Low light - 23.980.

My goal is to find the maximum resolution and aspect ratio with reasonable time (say, from 5 min of recording).

I have 5DM3 + 1.1.3 Firmware + Sandisk 30 mb/s (exFAT) with ML (crop from 29 April) + KomputerBay 64GB 1000x (exFAT).

Thank you!
