ok, I think I fixed some of my post processing issues in MLV, but I still sometimes get jittery colored pixels in my videos. and I haven't figured out how to do upscaling properly yet.

In the previous video i didn't describe the workflow because i completely forgot what i was doing (sorry  ::) )

but in this video I used the following tools in MLV:
  • Fix focus dots: ON / Interpolation metod: 2
  • Fix Bad Pixels: AUTO / Search method: Norm / Interpolation metod: 2
  • Chroma smooth: 2x2
  • Vertical Stripes: Normal
  • Debayer algorithm: AMaZE
  • Processing Gamut: Alexa Wide Gamut RGB
  • Export: .mov Codec: Apple ProRes4444

After that I use DaVince Resolve 20 (in first time) for editing and sound, and it was amazing !!!

Fixed focus dots: ON? 5D2 doesn't have focus dots in liveview/video mode.
Fix bad pixels: Only use if absolutely necessary. It is known to do horrible things to footage at times.
Vertical stripes: Same, esp. with Dual-ISO (Dual-ISO in 5D2's video mode not supported by nightly/lua_fix).

Often in video files i see green dot (lonely green pixel), "Fix Bad Pixels" fix it =)

You can try 5D2 pixel remap procedure, you know with "sensor cleaning" and waiting for automatic remap. Just google it. It helps with bad pixels in the raw video sometimes. But it could be tricky, maybe you will need to do it a few times. Don't wait for too long for the first time, and if the bad pixel is still there - wait a little more next time. Or a little less. It also depends on the sensor temperature as I understand.. Just try a few times. At least I was able to get rid of the most annoying hot pixels on 5D2 this way.
