Weird black and white frame flicker

[SiMAN369]

In post my RAW footage flickers every so often deeming it unusable. Most of the frame is monochrome while small patches are in colour. Can this be fixed in post or avoided using specific settings?

Using 5D Mk iii

Thanks

Could you upload an example?

Also please give us more detail as to which nightly build you're using, resolution, frame rate, audio, etc.  and if you're using .raw or .mlv

What are you viewing/debayering on?

Taking a wild guess at what you mean, raw2dng?

I'm not technically savvy in this field of expertise

I guess what I'm asking is what are you using to convert the footage, and then what are you using to playback and edit it/process it?

[SiMAN369]

Ah okay thanks for clearing that up. Raw2dng to convert and DaVinci Resolve Lite to process. I'd then use FCPX to edit.

I honestly don't know what might be going on, I have personally never experienced anything which looks like that. My first piece of advice would be to try and use something else to convert the raw data into CDNG. Since you're using FCPX, I assume you're on a Mac. In that case, I would suggest either RAWMagic, or MLRawViewer to convert the raw files. MLRawViewer will also allow you to playback, which should give you an instant feedback as to what the footage looks like.

Your stills don't look like corrupted data, but rather debayering errors. Resolve should be able to display the footage correctly, so I'm really not sure what could be causing this.

[SiMAN369]

Ok thanks so much for the help, I'll update the post on whether your suggestions work.

MLRawViewer worked! raw2dng and RAWMagic Lite both resulted in damaged frames, however MLRawViewer worked like magic.
