Did you try shuffling through the displays? In live view tap the info button a few time to shuffle through the different displays to enable the ML display. If you're shooting raw, make sure global draw is enabled in the raw menu.

Raw Video / Re: 7D and the SanDisk 160 Mb/s
April 30, 2014, 02:20:33 PM
I shoot with the 7D, ML raw etc. I use (3) transcend 64GB (1000x) CF cards and they work almost perfectly. There are a few hick-ups here and there but when I hit record, I capture every frame without those magenta errors. On my older transcend cards, 32GB (400x), I had those problems all the time. I've even ran into a problem where it would drop a frame and keep recording without stopping. When I saw how unreliable those cards were for raw video I looked around the forums and found that the Mark III shoots raw 1080p with no problems. So I invested in the 1000x cards.

I don't know much about converting (400x or 1000x) to (mb/s or MB/s) but on the amazon page I bought my cards from shows that the 1000x writes at 120MB/s and reads at 160MB/s.

depending on your resolution and framerate. because the main reason for the filesize are the raw-frames, other blocks are neglibe for a rough calculation.

xres * yres * 14bit * framerate = bitrate/second

example: 1920 * 1080 * 14bit * 24 frames/second = 696729600 bits/s -> ~70MB/second (add 10% for other data, reserve, overhead, whatever)

answering your question:

32.000 Mbyte card / 77 = ~415 seconds or ~ 6 minutes 55 seconds

regards chmee

You're awesome chmee.

I have the Canon 7D and I get about 15 minutes of raw video for each of my 64GB cards shooting at 1728 x 972 (max continuous resolution at 23.976). Using Baldand's encoder, I can convert the raw to prores and I get about 1GB per minute of raw video after converting. MLRAWVIEWER: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9560.0

But chmee's answer is better.

The usage of the queue has changed a bit since 1.1.4. As before, the E key adds an item to the queue using the current settings. But by default the export queue does not start processing as soon as you add something to it. Instead you need to click the red circle, or press the Y key. You can also pause the processing with another press.

The top item on the queue can be cancelled with the X key, and the queue can be reset with Z.

Also, pressing key C will add ALL files in the same directory as the current file, using the same colour balance settings. This might be useful for example if you are looking at a card full of takes from the same scene - one key will export or ProRes encode all of them.

Thanks!

Baldand can you add the new feature shortcut keys to the first page and the homepage? I've been using this app since the first alpha and I didn't know that the E key was changed to "add to queue". Heck didn't know that queuing was possible. I was under the impression that E was to export. Another question, how do we track what's in the render queue?
#30
Is there a change log I can reference somewhere? I'm trying to keep track of the progress of this app. Which is awesome by the way.

So I'm wondering if any one with the new faster cf like a 1200X or 1066X can squeeze the 7D to push 23.976 at this resolution?

I hate to respond to a question with a question, but, wouldn't the 7D buffer run out at 2512 x 1068 and 23.976 fps? I was under the impression that you couldn't get continuous  recordings beyond certain resolutions and fps. Am I wrong? ....I do not have the faster cards. I have (3) 64GB transcend cards at 1000x.

That was so beautiful. Although there wasn't much happening, there was something very Disneyesque about it. The music, the cutaways, the pacing. Very good!

Feature Requests / Re: 7D Feature Possible
February 26, 2014, 08:57:44 PM
About two years ago there was an option to adjust the ISO lower than 100. I don't remember the different values but one was Canon ISO and the other was DIGIC.... maybe... but that doesn't make sense because Digic is Canon... either way, I don't remember the options but it was possible. I messaged a1ex in the past because I was using it wrong and he told me it was for specific situations. I ended up have a green image. It was bad, and is probably why it was removed.

yes. You must use fps override in crop mode and set 23.976fps.

Internally, canon switches to 30fps from 24fps when crop mode is activated. ML FPS override, overrides canon instructions and switches its 30fps back to 24 or 23.976.

If you just use raw most of the time, you can leave your fps override on all the time, before it was not advisable as audio can't be recorded with fps override, now, with MLV raw, audio is recorded even with fps override engaged. Even if you set it to 1fps, audio will always be 24fps.

Just be careful for when you want to record in h264, fps override must be off.

Thanks a bunch!

1. If you use fps override, use exact framerate not lowlight so you can get exact 23.976.

2. If your using fps override then that is the framerate of your crop mode video. It does not change.


1. Your awesome and thank you for the heads up. Changing low light to exact worked!

2. I didn't make myself clear at the last post. The issue is that when I switch to 5x crop the fps jumps from 23.976 to 29.951. I have to activate fps override whenever I use 5x crop to go back to 23.976. Is this common?
#36
This is great news. Can anyone help me understand why in 5x crop mode the fps change from 23.976 to 29.951? I've changed it to 24.028 using fps override but it shouldn't automatically change fps, right?

When I tried Avid 444 it rendered a file that had nothing in it. Must have done something wrong. Will try again.

Will Pro Res work in a windows PC (Premiere Pro cs5.5) ?

I don't think you can export to Pro Res on Windows with Resolve. I use http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=9560.0 ML RAW Viewer by baldand and it grades beautifully. The downside is it converts slow but I tend to render multiple files at once. If you really need Pro Res for what ever reason on PC you can try http://www.cinemartin.com/cinec/ but you have to pay for that. FFMpeg allows you to render Pro Res on Windows also. If you want to know the workflow check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7pfwX8j1Sk. Sorry I couldn't help with your Resolve question.

I think this poll would gain a better gauge of who's interested or not if it weren't apart of the Magic Lantern Forum for two main reasons.

1)There aren't a lot of people who know about this poll, which is only displayed here in this particular post.
2)There are guests of the forums that can't cast a vote.

I believe that a poll outside of the community that can be accessed from anywhere, without signup requirements, will allow for more observations of this question and more participation from others. There obviously must be some form of order to the poll such as one vote per IP address or something along those lines to maintain the integrity of the votes. I also think the features we discussed before should be incorporated somehow into the poll. Here's an example:

Example 1) Is a native Magic Lantern raw/mlv plugin for your favorite NLE necessary to you? Yes or No

Example 2) Would you buy a Magic Lantern raw/mlv plugin, for your favorite NLE, with these features? (list features that would accompany the plugin) Yes or No

Just my thoughts.

Extremly good viewer! I'm only missing a Fullscreen mode. You can maximize the window but fullscreen would be nicer. I would vote for Ctrl+f to toggle as in resolve   :D.

/Cheers!

Hit the TAB key to toggle full screen. All the shortcut key functions are on the first page.

It's not a deal breaker not having ACR features however it does devalue the plugin in my opinion.  Now I don't know your end of the business and I wont pretend to know but is it at all possible to emulate the same or similar features from ACR? It's built into Lightroom, right? I use Cineform to re-encode standard H.264 video out of the camera and use the dynamic color adjustments within the Cineform metadata, which is non destructive and is rendered in real time. I know it's not easy to implement this ACR-ish functionality into your plugin but I don't want to give up on the possibility. I'm honestly drooling over the possibilities of your Magic Lantern plugin. Again you've got one buyer here. I just really, really want that additional function!

I'm not a fan of this workflow: https://vimeo.com/70637970 @ about 4:25 you see what I mean. Your plugin could be the answer everyone is looking for. ;)

Hi All

  I'm one of the programmers on the plug ins.  I think there is some confusion re: the pricing.  The MediaReactor plug in was developed to allow access to real time play while recording, read access to file formats like GEN, HDR, Omneon, Lietch, Grass Valley, Pinnacle, HDCam, RMF, etc and export of broadcast and post formats.  The 500 was for all that, and we had a request from and OEM to add MLV and RAW which we did.  We then thought we would announce here in case anyone was interested.
  I completely agree that 500$ is too much if you are only doing MLV and/or RAW.  We have talked about a MLV/RAW only plug in at around 99$, but we were not sure it would be popular enough to be worth doing.  We are not looking at adding key frames or ACR at this point, so it would be as it is currently, without all the other formats.  Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers, James

@infinitebuzz I understand your hesitation in developing a specific, Magic Lantern, plugin for Premiere. The most important aspect to remember with this community is that everything is free (open source). To market such a plugin to a community accustomed to free firmware will be a marketing nightmare. Although there are many professionals here, I truly believe that the mass majority of this community consists of enthusiasts and programmers that simply enjoy unlocking the Canon camera's full potential, not making profit from production. In addition, the raw capabilities of these cameras are still being developed to this day. To make matters worse a huge number of Canon users STILL aren't aware of Magic Lantern to begin with. Mind blowing if you ask me!

Now, I don't want to discourage the creation of a Magic Lantern plugin because the potential for profit is still there. If you do pursue such a program know that there are many avenues to advertising for free to get the masses informed and on board. Hell, every new breakthrough alex, g3gg0, and 1% discovers is re-Tweeted all over the place, proof: https://twitter.com/autoexec_bin. Just so it is clear, I'm willing to buy a $99 native Magic Lantern raw plugin for Premiere Pro. I would like it to be a little more robust, like R3D features, but I understand it takes time to develop something that complicated, that works real time, with no bugs over night.

Thanks for caring!

If the ACR-adjustments are adjustable via keyframes, yes. statically only while import, no. thats not enough imho.

I hear you chmee. If this company is going to charge $500 for a plugin it should be just as versatile as the R3D plugin that's native to Premiere. If you check this out (https://vimeo.com/52037147) you'll see how similar color correcting R3D in Premiere is to color correcting CDNG in Lightroom, Photoshop and After Effects. This feature for MLV is worth $500 in my honest opinion. Keyframing is not worth $500. When MLV can be edited natively like R3D, Adobe Camera Raw, or something similar,  I'll be the next customer in line to purchase such a plugin for Premiere.

and i hoped to read some revolution :D

(*) 495$ is very expensive, too much.. 99$ would be ok. selling one for 495$ or 10 for 99$ ;) think about it..
(*) but, if it would import accordingly, including audio, with no glitches (and a plugin for keyframe changes of exposure fe) it would be absolutely ok in terms of efficiency.
(*) (by now) it takes me (every recording session) a few hours to get workable media for premiere.
(*) its just a "quid pro quo"-calculation - time- or moneysaver.. i'd decide for timesaving..

500 bucks = too pricey.

I have to agree. Does this provide Adobe Camera Raw image adjustmesnts. I didn't think so... or does it? Having ACR, to me, justifies the $500 price tag. Not having it makes this plugin worth $10-$100. This program however does provide us with a way to make rough edits then encode to Prores using Baldand's MLRAWVIEWER https://bitbucket.org/baldand/mlrawviewer/downloads

Just FYI there is a huge performance loss if you dynamic link a AE comp directly into premiere. It is much more efficient to export out a high quality intermediate like a 10 bit blackmagic instead. Anything over 10 bit is somewhat overkill anyway, unless you really need to push a grade.

You are absolutely right. I've had to export using cineform through after effects because it is entirely too slow.

@ chmee is it possible to incorporate RAW2GPCF.exe into raw2cdng or the upcoming mlv2cdng?

please try v1.4.6. - if youre downloading the data of hookah, copy/paste it with a texteditor into a file and name it with an ending .look.

regards chmee

Thanks for your help. Shortly after that response I saw the new raw2cdng 1.4.6 and it works perfectly. I've tried both lumetri .look files. The one you provided and the hookah version with no luck. For now I'll stick to the After Effects detour until something a bit more stable comes around. Thanks again, standing by for your mlv2cdng tool!

did you tried my "look"? its inside v1.4.5 of raw2cdng. and found/described in the cdng-thread.
read here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5618.msg86804#msg86804 - and following.
using the look via the lumetri-effects-layer.

regards chmee

I tried your look and it doesn't change the pink cast. Also when I try to use the raw2cdng 1.4.5 version it crashes every time. I use 1.4.5 for convert my MLV files then convert the RAWs with 1.3.0. Is this common? or am I doing something wrong? I noticed that the hookah lut seems to work, but when I try to download it, I download a text file. I'm not a programmer and a horrible tester but I'm trying. Thanks chmee!

I updated to version 7.1 cc premiere pro, but still do not understand how to import dng files?

I had this same issue. Today, I finally figured it out. The program that converts raw files properly for Premiere Pro is raw2cinemadng not the standard raw2dng. You should be able to find it here: http://www.phreekz.de/wordpress/2013/06/magiclantern-raw2cdng-cinema-dng/

This app will convert your raw files into compatible dng files for premiere pro 7.1. There is still a workaround needed to import the dng files into Premiere properly, though.

Currently the dng files will import into Premiere with a pink/magenta hue over the entire image. You'll have to detour into After Effects first, then save an After Effects project file, then import the After Effects file into Premiere. This is explained better here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdZSbJn_1xs

It didn't look like your question was answered so I hope this helps!

Raw Video / Re: 60D RAW video - it's working !!!

Hi to all! I am following this forum for a while. Since the beginning I was testing hourly releases and I must say you guys (a1ex, marekk) have been doing a really great job. I want to ask about possibilities of faster writing speeds via usb port or even hdmi. Is there any way to achieve longer recording times (just asking for theoretically posibilities)?

I also made short video three weeks ago. I like the details and richness of color raw footage delivers.



Beautiful video. What version of the raw2dng are you using to get rid of the dead pixels?
