Hi
I shoot .MLV clips with magiclantern-Nightly.2014May31.5D3113 on my 5D Mark III. I convert them to DNG with MLRAWviewer 1.1.6 on my Macbook Pro, to make color timing in Da Vinci Resolve Lite.
Last week, suddenly some of my clips had randomly the « green cast » issue. But thanks to this forum I could save my clips by using the "mlv_dump --black-fix=2048 » method. It worked fine!
Unfortunatly since yesterday this method is useless!
Yesterday I’ve been shooting two types of clip:
- in 1920 25P mode: the mlv clips are fine, no green cast problem
- in 1280 50i mode (to get a slow motion effect) in 1928x606: the .mlv files seem to be ok when I read them in the FILE MANAGER or in MLRAWviewer, but the DNG files have the green cast problem in Resolve (and Resolve starts to bug). Unfortunalty the "mlv_dump --black-fix=2048 » doesn’t fix the problem, and neither does the "exiftool -BlackLevel=2048 input.dng » method.
What can I do to save my corrupted clips? I really need to make color timing in Resolve, which is much better that the MLRAWviewer APPLE PRoRes conversion.
How can I avoid this issue in the future?
(I have to specify that in order to avoid this issue, yesterday i switched ON Memory hack, Extra hacks and Fix black level.)
Maybe it’s not a « black level" problem, but another metadata issue specific to the "1280 50i" mode?
thanks for your help!
