Is the evf usable while recording on this model?

Your EOS-M has a viewfinder??

How does the upscaling work, its via metadata? If I open 1x3 DNG files in Premiere, it opens correct, but if I bring them into Resolve, they are 1/3 the horizontal resolution (1500something vs 4500something). Is there a way to work with Resolve, vs just scaling it up horizontally 300%? Or is scaling it up 300% basically the exact same thing as what Premiere is doing?

@briwil: all is correct and as it shall be. Just export and you'll see. Info panel shows always the resolution of your clip. Your clip should look right in the viewer, doesn't it? What the viewer shows and MLVApp exports (by standard) is always upsampled for v1.4+.

Ahh, got it! Confusing as hell, but got it.

Does anyone have a recommended setting/resolution for least jello with best resolution?
The 4k resolutions are giving me serious shutter roll if I move even the slightest.

Can someone help me here- so I complied the MLV app on my mac, but still same issue. When I shoot with the '1x3 1736x2150' crop mode, and my resolution set to 1504x1920, my file is still opening in MLV with Width stretch at 1.0x and height stretch at 0.33x.
I can't change width stretch to 3.0x because 2.0x is the max in the pulldown menu. I want to export my footage out as CinemaDNG.

Compiling the MLV app still shows ver 1.4, should the newer commits show a different version?

Get source code and compile. It is so easy!

pshhh... Yeah right-what the hell is QTCreator? How do I use MinGW?? I hate windows as it, now I have to open up Visual studio? I'm exhausted already.

How are you guys getting the 1x3 to work in MLV app? Keeps coming in at 1.0x for width stretch and .33x for height stretch (yes, 1.4).
Where are you guys getting this newer version of MLV app? Surely most people here aren't building and compiling it themselves?

The TFT_SIO module is a development tool. You should be able to compile ML before playing around with it:

https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/src/tft_lcd/modules/tft_regs/

Code Select Expand

hg update -C tft_lcd


ok  I've got some research to do tonight.

Sorry if I'm being daft, but I can't find the TFT_SIO mo for flipping/mirroring the EOSM's screen anywhere. I see a bunch of old posts by people like @DFort, and mentions it being on his bitbucket page, but I don't see it there. Has this module just died off?

[MLVFS Installation on Windows 10 x64]

MLVFS Installation on Windows 10 x64

Install latest version of Dokany:
https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany/releases

Reboot if necessary.

MLVFS_x64
Download http://www.magiclantern.fm/modules/modules/MLVFS_x64.zip/MLVFS_x64.zip
Extract MLVFS_x64.zip

Delete the following files from the extracted folder:
dokan1.dll
dokanfuse1.dll

Using MLVFS:
Note the path of the extracted MLVFS_x64.exe
Open Command Prompt

Run program from within directory into the executable:
The web gui interface only works if you call the executable from the same directory
cd mlvfs_x64
mlvfs_x64.exe Z:\ --mlv-dir=C:\Videos\Files

Run from any location by typing full path to executable:
If you run this from a remote directory, the web gui will not work
C:\mlvfs_x64\mlvfs_x64.exe Z:\ --mlv-dir=C:\Videos\Files

If your folder name contains spaces, use quotation marks for path:
"C:\Extracted files\mlvfs_x64\mlvfs_x64.exe" Z:\ --mlv-dir="C:\Videos from Camera\Files"

Or:
C:\mlvfs_x64\mlvfs_x64.exe Z:\ --mlv-dir="C:\Videos from Camera\Files"

Or:
"C:\Extracted files\mlvfs_x64\mlvfs_x64.exe" Z:\ --mlv-dir=C:\Videos\Files

Notes:
The Z:\ option is setting a mount point.  You'll have to use an unused drive letter in your computer.  When you open Windows Explorer, you'll see a list of all the drives in your computer.  Use a drive letter that is not used.

I've done all the steps here, and everything seems to work, except all my DNG's end up looking like pink noise, even if I open in Photoshop. What am I missing here?
On Windows 10, btw.

Yes I am shooting 1728 x 972 raw grading it with adobe camera raw and exporting it with AE CC with prores 4444 and upscaling it in premiere CC and exporting in h.264. Are my codecs right?

Well first, the question we have for you is, are you really Jim Jarmusch? 

i'm quite happy too, I have a 50D! but I was expecting >100Mb/s write speed rate but not more than 115Mb/s at any point of recording. But at this stage of development, I'm jumping...like a kid, lol! Three bangs for the ML team ...here it is - !!!

Why would you have ever expected the write speed to be so high?? There's no reason to believe the camera's card reader can get anywhere close to that...

If anyone out there is still looking for a camera, I've decided to sell mine, comes with the 64gb KOMPTERBAY x1000 card and some extra batteries...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181166102079?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Which 64g cf card should I buy? Transcend or KomputerBay?

Komputerbay

was that in 5x zoom mode?

I think the only shot which was done in crop mode was the bird in the sand. Everything else was upscaled to 1920 from the 16xx resolution (can't remember the exact number).

A new test.

The new build's interface has "buffer use"(?) lines above the raw frame counter, and for me, they look similar to the vertical lines of the last frame (from rawmagic). Can these interface lines be related to the line error?

I'm sure those buffer lines have nothing to do with the last frames being corrupted.
Didn't 1% already comment on this earlier?-

Its basically happening when raw is stopping, not much I can do, just write off last 2 or 3 frames (a1ex already cuts the last one I think).

Just don't use the last frames of your clip?

Look, if you want to make 5x crop work like a normal lens than you'll have to get something like a 10mm EF-S lens so that 5x mode will convert it to something more like a 50mm lens. Otherwise, you have to shoot from afar . . .

Ok. I feel like everytime I ask a question on this forum I'm getting responses from people who sound annoyed.

I understand that crop mode works differently than the normal mode, that's exactly what I was saying, and people are telling me to turn on ML Previews as though that will alleviate my issue with it, and as you just said, it won't. Was just looking for clarification.

Thanks

Grayscale preview shows the recordable frame size so you don't have to guess. Set it in the raw module

I know I asked about this yesterday...
I tried out Grayscale preview- but just to be sure I'm not missing something- its really only useful for framing up a shot before you begin recording, no?
Once I hit record, the screen's frame rate went down to maybe updating once every second or two, not really useable if you're shooting people or moving objects and trying to keep focus.

Macboot?...first time I heard is needed for ML.....can anyone of the expert (@gregory, @1%, @Andy, etc) give us some light?
how do we install RAW after the ML firmware is loaded?

It's needed for SDXC cards; it's in the installation guide. Needed for 64gb and higher cards.
wiki.magiclantern.fm/install

For crop mode, what do you mean you can't compose the shot.. just use ML grayscale preview.. display filter works off my repo.. .should be merged to main.

Well, I think I may just be an idiot, I don't know anything about grayscale previews or their existence; I'll go do my research, thanks.

OK! I finally got my 50d and a Lexar 32GB 1000x.......now is time for the first noob question (first time I ever touch a canon camera).
I did update the firmware and installed ML 2.3v and looks like everything is ok, but now I have to install RAW and a little confused, what`s next?, I think I have to format the card again (is there an option to format the card from ML menu or do i have to do it from canon menu?) and then copy in the card the following files: autoexec.bin and the directory ML with all subdirectories from one of the builds that Gregory has released......then just turn on and ready?

I don't think you need to reformat the card; you should just be able to copy the files from Gregory's build onto the card, overriding the files that you already have on the card from the orignal ML install, and you're good to go.

And this assuming you already made the card bootable with macboot.

The zoom mode res is close to that... we'd have to get LV edmacs killed to try to get enough speed.

So non-crop mode will never be able to do more than 1592x1062, yeah?

I'm fine with that for what it is, I'm not complaining; but I really don't think I'll ever be able to shoot anything in crop mode, I don't see myself being able to compose a shot with a good chunk of it offscreen.

It also needs to be seen if Black Magic will actually manage to get full 12-bit raw recording working on SD Cards. Currently, the BMPC "only" shoots 10-bit ProRes 4:2:2.

Getting an BMPC suddenly doesn't make much sense to me anymore.

I'm not saying this is true, I really don't know, but couldn't one argue that the BMPC's 1080p ProRes is still better than 1536x864 RAW?

I emailed them 2 weeks ago and haven't heard a thing. Perhaps if everyone does it then we may get a response.

I just emailed them.

Actually I really like the 18-55 IS or STM kitlens. On a wider angle it's easier to shoot handheld. The IS will help!

Thank you!

i use todays build. tryed different aligning settings. btw.    if you set the sector sizes the same as the allocation sizes the cam dies.

Have you tried a different build, like June 11th?
