Beginner here who's been using MLVFS recently for editing mlv files from my eos-m in Resolve and it is working just as I hoped. Except for focus pixels / pink dots in the video.
I tried to search the forum for solution, but could not easily find it (forgive me if I missed it). Only simple instructions I found were this:
Realized that there are several newcomers trying to figure out how to use the focus pixel map files so here's a quick tutorial:
The easiest way to get the map files is to download the whole repository from the downloads page:
https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/ml-focus-pixels/downloads/
Take all of the .fmp files in the focus_pixel_map_files directory and place them next to the MLVFS binary. I'm on a Mac so it is located in my home directory > Library > Services > MLVFS > Contents (doing Control click on the MLVFS in order to get into the package contents). Never used MLVFS on Windows or Linux so I'm not sure how that works.
Same thing with MLV App, put the .fpm files next to the binary. MLV App is currently the best way to work with 5K Anamorphic files and yes, it is possible to export cdng using that application with fixed focus pixels and adjusted aspect ratio.
Either MLVFS or MLV App is a great way to get your raw footage into editing systems that can handle cdng files like DaVinci Resolve or After Effects. However -- only editing apps that use Adobe Camera Raw (like After Effects) seem to respect the resize and aspect ratio metadata in the cdng files so you'll have to adjust the image size if you want to use these dng files directly in Premiere or Resolve. You can also export to Prores or other several other file formats from MLV App and not worry about the resize/aspect ratio issues.
But the link is not working.
How do I remove these Focus Pixels in MLVFS now?
