MLV App 1.14 - All in one MLV Video Post Processing App [Windows, Mac and Linux]

[ilia3101]

New Cocoa App release!!! (v0.22)

Github release page or go to download page



Highlights:
 - AVFoundation export - much faster
 - Multiple clips - saveable sessions like QtApp (compatible as well)

Issues:
 - No audio support yet (in Cocoa App)

So that no one ever has to download that 2 month old version ever again (it was painful watching the download count go up to 100)

Great work !!! I'm downloading it to make some speed tests

[12georgiadis]

some random crashes at startup on el capitan but I an open it and export

Here comes a next release of the Qt version of MLV App with some new features:

• Apple AVFoundation export on macOS: 12bit ProRes 422, 12bit ProRes 4444 and 8bit H.264, without audio only for now, and without resize
• New bad pixel removal option, which analyses all instead of one frame
• Performance on MLV bulk / session import improved
• Create and load MAPP files (this files include all required information from the original MLV, plus video and audio frame index. If .MAPP file already created, importing is lot faster especially on slower HDD)
• Some BugFixes

Fantastic Ilia, mas and Bouncyball. Will try it out as soon as possible.

[Danne]

Works great. Just set export settings to av foundation and boom prores4444 comes flying out.

Yeah, that is as it should be. Cool if it works.

I used MLRW APP before and now I love this APP, it works great ... good job 

[bouncyball]

I also tried it on my old, dusty (2008) mac mini with El Capitan (apple enlightened me that my system is so old that it's not gonna upgrade to sierra+). Works

[Danne]

This app is getting so good. Just tried the cinema dng export feature. Question. How do I select different bits output? For instance 14bit from 10bit etc? Maybe not implemented? AV foundation ProRes4444 files are golden.

True @Danne, found this one yesterday and started experimenting with it. Right away I just processed a MLV and found white balance too blue for starting a starting point to color correct. Corrected it with CameraRAW. Do you know why?

[Danne]

White balance will be applied according to either what your camera kelvin is set to or what wb mode you are working with. Watch out for using AWB(auto white balance) since MLV will instead read whatever kelvin your camera is set to when recording.
Short answer. Use any white balance mode but AWB if you want to use white balance from camera.

Oooh! Get it! All scenes were filmed using AWB. Thought it will not make any change when using RAW. Thanks for the info! Color corrected it, so amazing to see what RAW can do thanks to all the color data available.

Can you help me with this? First DNG frame recognize all camera color profiles using ACR, color corrected it nicely, but all of the rest (400 or so frames) goes dark when applying Syn Settings. Found that on all of the rest DNGs there is no selection available for Camera Profile section, just Embedded. And thats the problem. How can I let ACR be able to see all Camera Profiles normally? This is the first time I see this irregularity.

[JADURCA]

OK!



Not OK!



As you may note, Camera Profile is set to Embedded and can't change it because there is no list.

[Danne]

Could be something related to the name. Look at the first file and the look at the next one. They should all be named to their "unique camera model" name(5D mark III) in this case. Did you develop your dng files with MLV app? If so upload a dng file here.

[JADURCA]

Yes, used MLV App with codec Cinema DNGUncompressed . Here are the first 12 DNG sequence with .xmp color correction file (used VisionLOG) if want to use it...

Really appreciate your help! Thanks!

[Danne]

Only the first file seems to have the correct name tag then it goes into this:

Code: [Select]

Unique Camera Model             : Canon EOS 5D Mark III????????????۸.A bug. I´m sure Bouncyball will check into it.

[JADURCA]

So, it is a bug with MLV App at the moment of processing? 

[Danne]

Yes. Meanwhile you could work with for instance batch mlv. It uses the same mlv_dump from bouncyball as in Mlv app.

[masc]

Is it possible to upload the MLV which causes this problem? I tried with some of my MLVs and this does not happen.
Edit: is your rar archive corrupted? I tried to unpack with 3 different proggis... no success. But the MLV would be more interesting for us.

[reddeercity]

@JADURCA this is how to my knowledge arc (viva A.E.) works -- it save changes to the first dng then applies the changes to the rest of your video file or image sequence (e.g. Tiff , PNG , MOV. etc...) I just check your dng's and there no problem with camera raw profiles , all where there to be selected . Test on Win 7 Pro With CS6 After Effects , didn't have 5d3 VisionLOG profile to check only have one for 5d2 . So you want Cdng that are W/B & color corrected from ACR/Camera Raw ? Any reason why ? tiff or PNG not good enough or I'm I missing something here .

You can't , the output Bit depth always matched to input Bit depth. MLV App does not support bit depth conversion. I think it is pointless.

+1. Please upload MLV.

Hmm... until today this same code served for Switch (trought mlv_dump on steroids) and MLV App without problem, IDK why it happened in this case but I did some changes to make sure the "Unique Name" always zero terminated after last symbol.

Still waiting for sample MLV

[JADURCA]

Hi guys! I'm uploading MLV right away. Takes a few minutes. Uploading...
