MLVProducer: [v3200]

[dfort]

@AWPStar -- got a new focus pixel map file for you:

http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=16054.msg174827#msg174827

This is for the new crop_rec video mode for the EOSM. It is working great in MLVFS so I thought that some of your users might enjoy trying it out.

[AWPStar]

@dfort Thank you!
I saw that post.
But i'm not sure how to identify the mode.

Apologies if the answer appears above.

Does MLVProducer carry over white balance information in the metadata for the raw file?

[dfort]

...i'm not sure how to identify the mode.

The new combined crop_rec/mv720 focus pixel map can replace the previous EOSM mv720 map file. It is only for the EOSM for now. This is working great in MLVFS so I suppose it should work for MLVProducer too.

Hello, I just registered here to thank you for developing this program. I'm new to ML and wanted to try RAW recording with my EOS-M, and so far your software has been very helpful and worked great.

Hi AWPStar
When is 10/12 bit raw mlv files support comming?

[AWPStar]

@NelsonSigmundoFilms
Hi, im not sure yet. it's pretty easy, but i have only one mlv sample.

Hi, im not sure yet. it's pretty easy, but i have only one mlv sample.

5D2 12bit 3x crop mode M04-2054.MLV 415MB from my Dropbox
Now you have 2 
This was shot with full MLV+ Audio 12bit in crop mode which has a white & black level issue (pink/magenta cast)
I was able to correct them with exiftool in this post I wrote
http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5601.msg176134#msg176134

exiftool -IFD0:BlackLevel=110 *.dng
exiftool -IFD0:whiteLevel=730 *.dng

So please be aware , but should be good to use for testing etc....  if that doesn't work for you I have more  just let me know.

[AWPStar]

@reddeercity
Thank you!
MLVP convert raw to 16 bit, and black level can be adjusted at input tab. So this is not a problem.
i'll start working on 10, 12bit's raw after tomorrow. This should not take much time.

(edit)
cannot download this file. Always stucks at 300MB.

Thanks=)

Thanks!!!

[AWPStar]

I can convert 10 and 12 bit to 16 bit.

10bit's image has more gradations than 1024 because of 16bit's debayering

Multi-bits version is coming soon.


New Balancing tool

[DeafEyeJedi]

Multi-bits version is coming soon.

Will be extremely intuitive for your app to determine which bit depth is each MLV/RAW files. How exactly are you achieving this or to make it readable?

[AWPStar]

@DeafEyeJedi
well, it is easy. I can get bit depth from RAW(raw_info) or MLV(RAWI) header.



then i convert any bits file to 16 bit

Code Select Expand

    Dim Sub1 As Long = 16 - BitDepth
    Dim Shr1 As Long = 16 + Sub1
    Dim devand As Long = ( 2 ^ BitDepth) - 1
   
    j = 0
    k = 0
    For n As Integer = 0 To dlen - 1
        i = j Shr 4
        v = (((src[i] Shl 16 + src[i + 1]) Shl (k AND &b1111)) Shr Shr1) AND devand
        dstt[n] = v
        k -= Sub1
        j += BitDepth
    Next

@AWPStar
Thanks for your support to ML and for this 10/12bit quick support.  Your app has come a long way and I use it to quickly render mov for non critical applications in batch mode.  I have learned to use presets and to re-use them making the process very fast for a quick edit.  My regular process is to use ACR to edit the dng and then to import them into a video editor; this method gives me the best results but it is time consuming.

I tested the new 10/12 bit process to render in "DNxHD 1080" and found a couple of additional issues in :
Running on windows 7 64 bit.


1. Render task is not available in File Menu... Only Reder Queue.  Render Task button on Output works as always.
2. I cannot render below 24 fps.  All renders below 24 fps quit and the program hangs up.
3. MLVProducer 2258 had "Temporal Noise Reduction" and Rduce color Noise" which are no longer available in version 2699
4. Remove Hot Pixels works only once on current task. When I load a new video the Hot Pixels Fix does not work.  To restore this feature I have to extract the program from the original zip file.
5. File Close All do not close the current video.

I have not tested other options.

Congratulations this is now the only app that fully supports 10/12 bit raw video.

[AWPStar]

Hi, RenatoPhoto. Thank you!


1. Probably i did somethink.
2. What codec do you use?
3. Yeah, i removed this filters, because i found out they are pretty useless. Even Premiere has better noise reduction. And now i'm working on new algorithm.
4. I will try to fix this.
5. It should close all files. But frame is keep showing.

[RenatoPhoto]

2. I use "DNxHD 1080"

[AWPStar]

It does not support frame rate below 24.

Problem with is that the program hangs up and has to be shut down.. all settings are lost 
In older versions the minimum default of 24 was used for rendering.
Thanks

[AWPStar]

@RenatoPhoto
Oh, i got it. i have to do limitation and notification for DNxHD.

Hi, thanks for this quick 10-12 bit version!!!!

I'm using 2699 intel version with exposure fix applied in 10-12bit crop rec 2016dec24-5d113.

When I open 10bit mlv in MLVP I get a 127 black level and I can see the image in computer screen ok. Then I transform to cinemaDNG. When I open cDNG in ACR I get a very very dark image with magenta highlights!. I'm doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Thanks!!!
