@BokiA:

or just simply buy a Mac... it'll make your life easier!

I agree with Jedi - Mac is sooo much better (though I hate that Apple took away the option to increase memory RAM for the current iMACs - though I think the default 8GB RAM + faster processors should be enough for your work - I have a late-2011 iMac 21" and was lucky to be able to increase the RAM from 4GB to 12 GB).

I replaced the cr2hdr20bit binary with the 70D cr2hdr binary (assuming this is actually 20bit from @nikfreak's thread which was provided by @N/A) from the link on first post in 70D thread but it doesn't seem to convert them after using the latest cr2hdr-r app (could be an error on my part)?

Videos still shows blueish/pinkish random flickering during Dual-ISO but as for Photos they seem to come out normal (with lines) but need to convert them properly somehow.

Can't wait for the day to come when theres a 20bit binary for all cams!

Could you try this version with above clip? Only change the cr2hdr20bit binary if you are developing still photos. If any problems occur then change to nkfreaks binary. Also specify if you are shooting mlv or raw.

Did the conversion work to prores as it should?

Just got home. Will download and test.

It was just rather strange behavior w 70D files as you noticed in the clip above regarding ProRes as well as HDR not being converted (MLV & .mov as well as CR2).

But will do it all again w 6.7 momentarily.

Stand by.

*feedbacks*

Doesn't seem to be working or should I wait until its completely finished? Running two takes at once:

Will post final results shortly.

Oki, so if you change to nikfreaks binary things are working with the 70D?

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #356 on:** April 25, 2015, 10:43:20 AM »

Just tried again with nikfreak's binary (by replacing yours) and still produces somewhat similar random effects. Not sure why?

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #357 on:** April 25, 2015, 11:09:01 PM »

@Danne:

Sorry I fell asleep last night @ 2am.

Anyway, here is the link of 70D files (RAW,MLV, Non-Dual-ISO and Dual-ISO) in 2-3 second clips each for you to scroll through.

https://mega.co.nz/#F!yoNQWBTa!3ohyAu9UggiyreAiFjo8nA

I'm gonna try to run @nikfreak's binary again via Terminal (though it's a PITA) and see if it does actually work... hmm?

Danne · « **Reply #358 on:** April 25, 2015, 11:50:45 PM »

What file do not convert right? CR2 or raw/mlv files? Just ran your raw files and they work fine. If CR2 you either use Nikfreaks binary. Place it in /usr/bin/ folder and replace the cr2hdr20bit.
Or use this command script on the DNG files after conversion. Adds the lacking color matrices.

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #359 on:** April 25, 2015, 11:56:52 PM »

RAW/MLV comes out fine (sometimes it gives me strange colors almost the same as if they were Dual-ISO) but without the flickering... strange?

As for CR2, I haven't been able to get it to work yet but it could be an error on my part when replacing the binaries.

Is it possible to have one 6.7 app for other camera and duplicate another 6.7 (with replacing the cr2hdr20bit with nikfreak's cr2hdr)?

That way I can have one app for 70D and another app for the rest of the other cameras... obviously this will be temporarily until then!

Thanks, D!

Danne · « **Reply #360 on:** April 26, 2015, 12:10:20 AM »

Did you try the command script?
Could make a parallel cr2hdr-r with nikfreaks binary. Not today though.

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #361 on:** April 26, 2015, 12:51:21 AM »

No, not yet. Busy @ work.

Here's the clip I was referring to earlier about strange colors (possible lacking color matrices?):

Danne · « **Reply #362 on:** April 26, 2015, 08:12:21 AM »

Thanks.
I noticed I put in the some wrong numbers which could be the culprit here. I,m not sure. Is ith the raw or mlv files that are strange?

Check again against this version 6.7. Put up a new one.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4tCJMlOYfirbVA0bkFjcDdCeVk/view?usp=sharing

I also would advice to use the script when working with CR2 files instead of a 70D version to get the latest cr2hdr20bit(corrected border interpolation, and commandline options)

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #363 on:** April 27, 2015, 07:25:57 AM »

Thanks, testing it out now.

However when I get the 70D DNG's from Dual ISO cr2's -- it says permission denied when trying using your script with the DNG's via Terminal... any ideas?

Thanks!

*EDIT*

Here's the clip that shows strange colors w ProRes .mov's from latest 6.7 but if use DNG's instead (within AE) and it exports as ProRes fine:

Danne · « **Reply #364 on:** April 27, 2015, 12:11:04 PM »

You, ll have to upload problematic sample files for me to test. I cant follow what files are problematic. Raw seems to work. Is it dual iso files? Mlv? Dual iso raw?
You have to give the script chmod rights to get pass permission denied state. Do it in terminal. Dont remember exact but google it.
Thanks

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #365 on:** April 27, 2015, 04:52:37 PM »

It's actually MLV for both Regular and Dual ISO. Will post them for you to scroll through via MEGA.

Will look on google for giving rights to the command script.

Thanks!

Try this version
cr2hdr-r_6.8b_lut_lab
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4tCJMlOYfirQ1dDLWVESlExYzA/view?usp=sharing

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #367 on:** April 29, 2015, 02:36:39 AM »

THANKS, D, for the 6.8 update.

Currently rendering the 70D files. As I was checking one of the DNG's converted from Dual-ISO CR2 (it stills says file format module cannot parse the file after opening in PS) so it looks like I still have to use the script command that you sent me from earlier?

Still googling around on how to get my stupid MBP to allow it to run it. Even though I have control over sudo -- so I don't understand.

BRB.

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #368 on:** April 29, 2015, 09:39:09 AM »

6.8b *feedbacks*

Both MLV & RAW 70D files work fine. (Good work, D!)

Dual-ISO MLV/RAW still flickers (but improvement is noticeable).

Dual-ISO CR2 (converted DNG's) should work fine with @nikfreak's binary but I can't confirm this yet because I'm still trying to get the command script to work.

Other than that... It's definitely a big step forward regarding 70D files.

Thanks!

70D111B Dual-ISO CR2 converted to DNG finally works now... THANKS, D!!!

Danne · « **Reply #370 on:** April 29, 2015, 09:38:49 PM »

Thanks for feedback.
The flashing files are corrupted ones. Has nothing to do with color matrices or transcoding. Check them with mlrawviewer or another app to verify corruption issue. Also, adding the script to other files than CR2 transcoded dual iso files is of no use since cr2hdr-r already applied these numbers on all files but still images.

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #371 on:** April 30, 2015, 06:41:19 AM »

Just did a side by side comparison...

Version cr2hdr-r_6.9_lut_lab
Downloads in first post

- Added 14 to 16 bit support and repack of 16bit (dual iso movie DNG) for use in premiere pro CC. Thanks cpc!

After correspondense with forum user cpc, author of slimRAW, check this thread out for more info
http://magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=15027.msg146234#msg146234
he created a binary, which in post processing will repack extracted dng files from 14 to 16bit and also repack the already 16bit dual iso movie DNG files so they will work with premiere pro CC. This makes the files a little bigger, (typically 3,7mb to 4,1mb 1920x1080), but they will be workable both in davinci resolve and premiere pro CC. Actually dual iso movie DNG files will loose some weight in post process repack (typically 4,4mb to 4,2mb).
The repacking post processing adds some extra time to the transcoding process but it is still very fast repacking.
Repacking to 16bit is only done in parent folder of cr2hdr-r.
ALL BETA and for testing purposes. Do backup of important files.
Big thanks for this contribution.

DeafEyeJedi · « **Reply #373 on:** May 02, 2015, 06:22:00 PM »

Holy Smokes this is a HUGE upgrade. You were right, Danne about this one!

Now I definitely can't wait to get my hands on this and test the footage out in PP, finally at last!

Once you go Adobe, there's no going back!

Thanks to @cpc for your contributions, much appreciated!

Finally back on the MBP here at work after a dreadful weekend full of nothing but moving loads after loads from an apt into an house.

Downloaded 7.0 and will share results from both 5D3 & 70D files separately (unless you want me to combine them together lol) online today this afternoon.

Let's hope my back can hold up...

Stand by!

*FEEDBACKS*

7.0 seems to be responding to 70D files well (besides the Dual-ISO movie files)...

https://vimeo.com/126977653

Also tried using the DNG's to make it readable in PP (CS6 not CC -- I don't think I got it working yet since only the Audio file shows up within the DNG folder inside PP) could this be the culprit due to not being CC?

I think I have CC on my MacMini but only CS6 on MBP -- perhaps I should find a way to update to CC, eh?
