I've just noticed that while in LV movie mode, the aperture stays fixed at the set Av when taking a still photo, which is great for timelapses to prevent aperture flicker while still being able to do Av keyframe ramping.

However there is a problem, while in movie mode slowest Tv is limited to 1/33 or 1/25 depending on your settings. Using FPS override with a low value limits the fastest possible Tv.

Would it be possible to implement a Tv override while in movie mode that behaves like in photo mode? Thanks!

Any chance to bring this frame skipping option back into the recent nightly?

It would be very useful for situation where you need fast TV but only want to save every nth frame of the recording without FPS override. FPS override with low light optimization would overexpose the shot, while high jello fastTV optimization would not be fast enough, for example telephoto sunrise and sunset shots without using ND.

I've also noticed that FPS override with high jello fastTV optimization produces duplicated frames in the MLV with the last Aug nightly (probably a few builds prior to that as well, I haven't tested them to be sure), if FPS override is set low at 10fps while recording in 1x mode, 3x crop mode works ok with the same settings. This is on 5D2 212.

Silent shoot with intervalometer can't go lower than 1s, while setting it to shoot like crazy would sometimes yield inconsistent capture interval.

These are the reasons that made me looking for a nth frame skipping raw video recording option.
