Nicely filmed. Good composing, wonderful surroundings. Gives a more photographic feel. Hope Alex is watching :).

To get more seconds try filming without liveview. Hack on.

...

Thank you! I forget to say, some clips are stabilized in post...
Without liveview? you mean Powersave options in ML menu? What other options you suggest? I normally shoot 2.5k with theese:
Canon options off (auto lightning, noise reduction, etc.)
MLV sound off
Dual-ISO -3 or -4
Exp. override on
Exp sim. on
GDraw off (after taking exposure)
FPS override at 23,976
Shutter fine-tuning - to match 180°
RAW MLV on 2560x1090, aspect 2.35:1, Preview ML Grayscale, Status none, SRM job memory on, extra hacks on, fix black on, Card spanning on, Reserve card spase on, leaving the rest to default values.

The flickering could be because of grading in adobe camera raw. Since you use the the 20-bit binary drag and drop method I think
you could call the --same-levels command implemented by Alex to get a same level conversion in the conversion stages.

terminal: cr2hdr --same-levels dng enter


Sorry, or it is too geeky for me or I'm too slow for that... anyway, it's the same :)
I'm on windows (I think the "terminal" is referred on a linux machine...?), can you suggest me a way to eliminate flickering (or explain me better this "--same-levels", or any helpful link in forum)? Any good alternative te ACR to suggest?

Thank you!

Great job with the sigma! 22mm on 2.5k 14bit video with a 5D3... wow! unbelievable! The only thing missing it would be a global shutter ;) but I think this will be impossible even for you ML genius! Who knows, may be one day!

Danne

Not sure how to work the cmd, sorry.
Someone simply renamed the cr2hdr file to cr2hdr --same-levels and used the drag and drop. You could try that. More info to find here.
http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7139.2025

You have preview modes in raw settings. There is one setting called hacked which will freeze the live view and give you about 10mb extra memory.

Would also like to know how to do the same levels command in Windows? Danne you suggested just renaming the cr2hdr to cr2--same levels?

Danne

Found this in a thread once. In here somewhere. http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?action=search2

"NOTE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW ABOUT RUNNING PARAMETERS, make a shortcut of the "cr2hdr-20bit.exe" file, right click on shortcut > properties, in the target, copy and paste  --same-levels at the end of the taget, if the target has spaces in the url, put " at the beginning of the url and at the end of it, for example:
"C:\camera raw dual iso converter\cr2hdr-20bit.exe"  --same-levels
putting this info here to save time for people who dont know (like me)

also do you know anyway of evening out the flickering in the dngs after processing them with the old cr2hdr that didnt have the same levels parameters"

Danne

Updated workflow in first post using lightroom (Kitchehof) Together with MLVFS app from Dmilligan.

Excellent Video @Danne and I will definitely need to upgrade my LR5 plugin because I do not have the extra features that cr2hdr 20-bit gives you... THANKS for the wake up call that I absolutely need.  ;)

Hello,
I can make me some hope for the 7D?

regards

Danne

Made another video using dual iso 3x zoom mode. I made progress in using acr in postproduction. I totally skipped using highligt recovery and shadow sliders etc. Only temper with white balance and exposure and only use the tone and point curve for highlight, contrast etc. It works really good and without flicker.






Latest movie. Played with filming in a real estate environment.

@Danne

Awesome clip!!! Whats lens did you use with the 3X crop?

Danne

Thanks. I use a modded sigma 8-16mm (see bottom page 2)

DeafEyeJedi

I'm curious to see 22mm on my 16-35L w 5D3 on the gimbal TYTO that I can borrow from work and compare that with your beautiful modified sigma! So jealous... ;)

Hello Danne,

I just processed my dual iso DNG's in Lightroom but there is one problem. It seems that every alternating DNG has a different white balance color despite all of my DNG's being synced to have the exact same white balance. One has a green tint and the other a pink tint. Did you have this problem?

Danne

What camera are you using? Could you put up a sample dng?

senzazn12

Camera is a 5D Mark III. I used the CR2HDR20BIT algo through Magic Lantern RAW Video Converter 1.9.2 to process the MLV files to Dual Iso DNGs. Then when I opened up the DNGs in Lightroom, despite syncing them all to have the same white balance, each alternating DNG frame has a slightly different white balance. Here are two sample DNGs.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kimafdub1vm9pm0/MLV_A002_271841_C00016.000000.dng?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/c4ac4t5qr5usy1w/MLV_A002_271841_C00016.000001.dng?dl=0

Danne

Could you also upload the two dual iso dng-files prior to conversion?

This is information about whitebalance from within the cr2hdr20bit binary

"White balance:
--wb=graymax    : set AsShotNeutral by maximizing the number of gray pixels (default)
--wb=graymed    : set AsShotNeutral from the median of R-G and B-G
--wb=exif       : set AsShotNeutral from EXIF WB (not exactly working)
--wb=%f,%f,%f   : use custom RGB multipliers (default 2,1,2)"



That is strange. One is greener than the other. When I look at the exif information I see a difference in asShotNeutral but I have no idea if changing this will help. Tried to but it didn,t seem to make any difference. My guess is the cr2hdr is applying some algorithms on whitebalance when converting dual iso files but I am not sure. Here is the information from both files if someone elese wants to have a look.

I presume you actually mean to say that you are syncing them all to have the same levels (i.e. the "--same-levels" option).  That is not the same as syncing the white balance.

That is strange. One is greener than the other. When I look at the exif information I see a difference in asShotNeutral but I have no idea if changing this will help. Tried to but it didn,t seem to make any difference.
I can't look at the DNGs right now, but a white-balance difference is definitely due to the differences in the AsShotNeutral tag, and setting the AsShotNeutral tag to the same values should make the white balance the same in the two DNGs.  So, something may be throwing off the default "graymax" white-balance calculation, although I don't know why it'd occur on alternating frames.  As a guess, are you shooting both dual ISO (alternating ISO between pairs of lines) *and* HDR (alternating ISO every other frame) at the same time?

These are the examples I got Ayshih. I cranked up the exposure since they were very dark.

I can't look at the DNGs right now, but a white-balance difference is definitely due to the differences in the AsShotNeutral tag, and setting the AsShotNeutral tag to the same values should make the white balance the same in the two DNGs.  So, something may be throwing off the default "graymax" white-balance calculation, although I don't know why it'd occur on alternating frames.  As a guess, are you shooting both dual ISO (alternating ISO between pairs of lines) *and* HDR (alternating ISO every other frame) at the same time?

No HDR was not turned on. Just dual iso and MLV.

Do you have the two original dng:s?

Yes I do. Uploading them now.

Here they are. It is weird because all the odd numbered frames  (1,3,5,7 and etc.) look the same when it comes to white balance) and all the even numbered (2,4,6,8) seem to match when it comes to white balance. Here are the two DNGs prior to Dual Iso conversion.

Same problem as before. Although the "asShotNeutral" settings are exactly the same in the original unprocessed dng:s. Maybe try export the mlv to dng with mlvrawviewer or using the mlvfs method. I still havn,t seen this type of problem with my camera.

The AsShotNeutral values in the unprocessed DNGs are the same because they're just default values that don't take into account the actual photo; the white balance is determined in the processing stage by cr2hdr.

I don't have a camera that can do dual-ISO video, so I was surprised to see that the unprocessed DNGs have different brightness patterns: "ddBB RGGB" for 0.dng and "BddB RGGB" for 1.dng.  That is, it looks like the set of lines that are the primary ISO actually switches from frame to frame.  Is this true for all dual-ISO video?  Or is this some consequence of the 5D3 pixel binning?  Whatever the reason, this behavior may be what is causing the white-balance calculations to oscillate.

I think you,re right Ayshih.
Here is two of my dng;s. The lines are exactly the same pattern on these contrary to senzazn12. I shoot in raw but I don,t think I got the issues with mlv. Can,t be sure. Gotta do some more testing. I used a different aspect ratio here as well.

You are right ayshih. I've noticed this in my dual ISO experiments with MLVFS. On my 60D whenever I shoot in crop mode the dual ISO lines alternate through all 4 possibilities => ddBB, BddB, BBdd, dBBd. In regular mode it seems to be the same in every frame.

I see. So it happens in crop mode (for Windows users)? I'll test tomorrow using dual iso in regular mode to see if I get same result when I was shooting crop mode.
