I mean this effect here, one of the cons of 1x3 footage:

([img]... doesn't work?! --> https://i.ibb.co/z5YyMH6/stairs.jpg)
1. original footage
2. 100% sharpen in MLVApp (it sharpens first and rescales afterwards)
3. 500% sharpen in PS after MLVApp export (first rescaling, then sharpening)

Thanks a lot, Masc, a very useful example! Now I understand. The reason I did not notice the effect was that I did not rescale in MLVApp but just exported the footage in its original size. In my workflow, I always do it that way. I do all corrections and grading in MLVApp, export without rescaling and then mount, edit and rescale in Resolve. From now on, I will export anamorphic footage with 0 sharpness from MLVApp and apply sharpening as a last step in Resolve. These discussions help a lot and we all learn from them. Thank you again.

But why do you let Resolve rescale (unsqueeze) the footage? AVIR in MLVApp is by far better than bicubic in Resolve?!

IDA_ML · « **Reply #53 on:** October 12, 2020, 04:42:06 PM »

I don't unsqueeze the footage in Resolve, I do it in MLVApp. Let's say, I have filmed the footage in 1736x2928p resolution. I import it in MLVApp, unsqueeze it, make all necessary corrections, sharpen and export it in ProRes as a 5208x2928p file. I open this footage in Resolve, do the editing, mounting, etc. and then I downscale it to my final desired resolution - say 1920x1080. That's all. The reason why I export in ProRes 5208x2928p is because I also use these files for storage - they are much lighter than the original MLVs, if I use the LT option and are also very easy to edit in Resolve. I keep the MLVs only if the footage is very important to me.

Now I understand that it is better to skip the sharpening step in MLVApp and apply sharpening in Resolve. This does not complicate my workflow, on the contrary - export of unsharpened footage from MLVApp goes much faster than sharpened one.

Hi all !
What are the other resolution possible in anamorphic ? Do we have a resolutions that have standard ratio like 1:85/1 or 1:78/1 ?
Can we have real time preview even if it is not continuous ? If yes, how much time it stays continuous ?
thanks

masc · « **Reply #55 on:** November 15, 2020, 04:41:49 PM »

You can have: 2.5:1, 2.39:1, 2.35:1 and 16:9. At 10, 12 and 14bit lossless. All at 23.976fps. All with B/W preview. Mostly continuous (just 2.5:1 14bit isn't).

Bw: is there a chance that in my test this weekend I did actually had a color realtime preview @2.39 ?

EOSM: maybe. 5D3: I don't think so - not in anamorphic mode.

And what are the conditions that allows real time preview in EOSm and not in 5DmkIII ?
Btw, amazing news for the other ratios !

Start by following theBilalFakhouri massive work on understanding preview registry. His posts are scattered here and there but not too hard to find. Achieving real time preview with anamorphic modes for instance is not easy work. First find the correct combination of preview regs(around 30) and then tweak them together towards increased realtime preview.
If you have a 5DIII and a lot of spare time maybe hook up with "the wizard" and see if you could help him out.
My personal take. Buy the guy a 5DIII and if we´re lucky, he´ll find time to do the work for the 5DIII.

Thanks Danne for the advices !
I'm gonna write to santa claus for theBilalFakhouri ;-)

I just wanted to let you know I've zoomed in with mlv app and I saw from my test there is a difference in the display setting if I had slightly sharper on or a higher saturation as defined very high or contrast very high the original mlv turned out to bake in the settings that you see on the display.

Maybe you should test that to confirm me I used the 5.7 k build.

Your sincerely

@ChristianEOS: sry, I don't get what you want to say. Please try using punctuation marks. But what MLVApp has to do with a 5.7K build, saturation, shaprness and your display?

ChristianEOS · « **Reply #63 on:** November 18, 2020, 04:23:05 PM »

If you change the display settings then it is baked in the picture.

For example slightly sharper baked in picture makes aliasing.

masc · « **Reply #64 on:** November 18, 2020, 04:27:50 PM »

What display settings do you change where and why it bakes in what and where? What are you talking about?

kidfob · « **Reply #65 on:** April 17, 2021, 12:22:26 AM »

I'm curious. Is this mode technically sharper than the 3.5k mode?

Thanks!

Without users backing up statements with mlv samples they can state whatever.

This is the first test video with my new old Canon EOS 5D Mark III. I am blown away by Danne's video modes, especially this 5.7K anamorphic mode which uses the full sensor width (big thank you, Danne!). This makes the footage look very cinematic!

With this mode I got 1920x2332(*) (unsqueezed to 5760x2332) @ 23.976fps and 12bit lossless. And the best: continuous recording!!! This is possible because of the latest SD overclocking and card spanning features (thanks to everyone involved!). So the CF card writes about 70MB/s and the SD about 50MB/s at the same time.

MLVApp is able to merge the two files (MLV+M00) from the two cards. The entire video was processed and color corrected to ProRes4444 with MLVApp only, at original resolution (unsqueezed). There was no sharpening applied. The final cut was upscaled to 8K for youtube using ffmpeg with lanzcos resizer.

Gear used:
Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 II USM
K&F Variable ND8-ND128
Audio-Technica Pro-24 (modded)
Glidecam HD-2000
Lexar 1066x 32GB
SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB 170MB/s

(*) the mode is updated to 1920x2340 now (5760x2340)

hi masc,
nice footage!
what is camera setting to shoot the fire?
sorry to ask, I'm noob

Thank you. That was f/2.8, 1/48sec and (if I remember right) ISO1600.
