I don't know if anyone asked this question in on this thread but here goes.

Q: Is it possible to shoot slow motion (RAW) with the 550D? 50/60 fps?

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #177 on:** March 22, 2016, 10:03:01 AM »

Canon menu -> Select 1280 resolution.

TK2290 · « **Reply #178 on:** March 24, 2016, 02:34:29 AM »

Thanks for your reply.

I tried shooting 60fps, it work on the camera; however, the resolution I was forced to shoot in (960x216) isn't good enough and when I try playing back the footage in Premiere Pro CC, it wouldn't.

Is there any way to get acceptable slow-motion with the Canon 550d (Sandisk X3M Pro 32g 95m/s)?

Workflow used?

Define "acceptable".

I shoot with ML RAW, use MLRawViewer to preview and convert the files to DNG then import the DNGs into Premiere Pro CC.

Is that where the problem is?

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #181 on:** March 26, 2016, 03:22:40 PM »

MlRawViewer development stopped. Use MLVFS instead.

Frank7D · « **Reply #182 on:** March 26, 2016, 06:04:01 PM »

TK2290, are you using raw or mlv?
If mlv, then +1 to using mlvfs.
If raw, then mlvfs (afaik) won't work.
In which case you might want to consider switching to mlv for future shoots.

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #183 on:** March 26, 2016, 06:20:45 PM »

If shot in RAW then perhaps try using @Danne's MLP which does wonders for literally everything on OS X.

Hey Guys thanks for all the help, it's greatly appreciated, I do use ML RAW. Where can I find this MLVFS? Is there a link or post on how to get it and also use it?

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #185 on:** March 27, 2016, 07:55:26 AM »

Using search (close to Home) or another search engine would do fine.

TK2290 · « **Reply #186 on:** March 27, 2016, 08:14:56 AM »

I found it, read through, downloaded and installed and so far everything seems to be working fine. I'm trying to understand everything as I go by and so far I had some test files on my desktop, I loaded them into MLVFS and they all worked in Premier Pro CC. Is there anything I should know before progressing, for example to get the most out of my MLV Raw Footage, should I alter any of the configuration option?

TK2290 · « **Reply #187 on:** March 28, 2016, 09:59:17 PM »

Hey guys,

It's me again and I've now gotten a chance to try shooting 60fps with my 550d (Sandsk X3M Pro 95m/s 32g), I tried the MLVFS workflow and I must say the quality of my footage is much better: However, the first problem I had with shooting slow motion with ML on the camera is still there, the footage after imported into "Premiere Pro CC" looks somewhat skewed and squeezed, I know I don't have the anamorphic feature turned on so I'm troubled as to why this happens. That's basically what I mean by acceptable slow-mo footage.

Anyone having or ever had this problem?

Hi,

So, I tried to get around a problem where my 550D didn’t do anything when I pressed the “Q” button.

I low level formatted the card, copied the ML Directory (build 2016Apr19) to the card, and created the fir file using the v1.0.9 firmware from Canon’s website.

I ran the Firmware Update, and got the green screen at the end.

I reset the camera (assuming that means power down/up).

Now it is just the same as it was before – it doesn’t seem to recognize that ML is there.

I tried rerunning the Firmware update, same result.

Anything I missed?

Must have been something, but I have no idea what it is.

Any Help appreciated,

Bryan.

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #189 on:** April 20, 2016, 10:27:50 PM »

Format card in cardreader.
Format card in cam.
Copy extracted nightly build contents to card
Insert card into cam and run firmware update and reboot before timeout.

Bansl · « **Reply #190 on:** April 20, 2016, 10:44:12 PM »

Thanks for that - seems like what I did, except for the "Format in the card reader" piece.

I'll give it a try when I get off work.

Thanks.

When I last used Magic Lantern, a few years ago, I used the Shoot menu; "HDR Bracketing" a lot.

Now I need it again, so I loaded the latest nightly download.

However, it seems that the options in the Shoot menu have changed, and I have things like Advanced Bracketing, which has only one option - QAx2EV

Do I need a stable version of the LM Firmware which might still have "HDR Bracketing"??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bryan.

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #192 on:** April 25, 2016, 04:30:02 AM »

If there is a "Q" character shown on the right you may have to press Q button to access menu options.

Bansl · « **Reply #193 on:** April 25, 2016, 05:40:24 AM »

Hi Walter,

Thanks for the 'Q' tip.
So, now I get a sub-menu "Advanced Bracket"

This rolls around to give options; "Bracket Type" with the following options;
DOF(Aperture)
Exposure(Tv,Ae)
Exposure(Flash)

Still no mention of HDR though.

Thanks,

Bryan

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #194 on:** April 25, 2016, 05:45:49 AM »

"Exposure (Tv,Ae)" translates to HDR.

Bansl · « **Reply #195 on:** April 25, 2016, 07:20:40 AM »

Thanks Walter.

Just what I needed to know.

Bryan.

davholla · « **Reply #196 on:** April 28, 2016, 03:59:36 PM »

This is my first post so I hope this is the right place. With Magic Lantern can I use live view with an external flash? I cannot under the default firmware.

chrleon · « **Reply #197 on:** May 05, 2016, 08:57:05 AM »

Is there some setting that lets me keep the liveview open indefinitely? Will try to livestream with the 550D, via the HDMI port.

Also how can I remove all the overlays, like iso, audio etc from the liveview screen via hdmi?

Gmc · « **Reply #198 on:** May 06, 2016, 07:08:04 PM »

Hie I'm New to using magic lantern with the 550d. I would like to ask how do i shoot Raw (MLV) with a higher resolution? I'm only able to record continuosly at 800x600 but my card can write at 60Mb/s?

Walter Schulz · « **Reply #199 on:** May 06, 2016, 07:21:55 PM »

Card interface in 550D is limited to about 21 MByte/s. Nothing you can do about it.
