This is what the video looks like - it's unusable footage.  I don't know what created it - but I'm using a Canon 60D with Magic Lantern.  I can pull the camera settings from the card right?  I'm not sure what to grab to post here - but if you could help me get to the bottom of this I'd definitely appreciate it!

They look like been filmed in crop mode with a VAF filter attached. But you are not using a VAF filter are you?

never heard of such a thing

You need to learn how to focus

No it looks like something went wrong in post process.

Some raw/mlv converters can perform chroma smoothing/blur and other stuff to your footage, this way your dng's already look like this.
Or you did (accidentally) added some blur in your raw video editor.

Question is, what was your workflow and are the originally raw/mlv files ok.

I believe that the bitrate was set to 1.2 - but this is not anything but 'normal' footage.  Straight out of camera.

I was struck the other day how much this looked like the screen when I had Peaking turned on - could this be caused by running peaking in the ML featureset?

I have had bit rate control misbehave on my 7D, in 1.3x place it gave me more like 0.3 everything was very blocky and unusable. Have not found what causes it nor could repeat it at will , but sometimes it happens on my 7D, but i always was able to see that in playback of the camera, so when ever I touch h264 bitrate settings I check every clip.

thanks Ansius - did it look anything like this?
