Updated September 26th 20131. Make sure you have CF selected. Need a 1000x CF card to get 1920x1080 at 24 fps.2. Switch your camera to Video Mode (flip the video lever to the left), focus your subject and adjust for the scene . Works in M, AV, TV modes.3. Press Q and select the 1920 @ 30 fps video specification from Canon Menu.4. Use the Joy stick to move and make "blue" the video mode.5. Scroll through the videos to [b]1920 30fps[/b]. If you do not use FPS override the camera defaults to Canon settings. See note 16. Press half shutter to return to Live View. If you have not loaded the raw_rec module then:7. Press trash button and go to Modules Tab using your joystick or scroll wheel. (It is an icon with four little squares)8. Use the scroll wheel or joystick to highlight the raw_rec module and then press the set button to enable it.9. Reboot the camera, then press trash button and if the module loaded correctly you will see it in bright white with a green dot on the left.10. Scroll to [b]Movie[/b] with the large scroll wheel and then to [b]Raw video[/b] with the small scroll wheel.11. Enable RAW video by pressing the [b]Set [/b]Button. Look at the video settings and also look near the bottom of the screen for information about CF speed requirements to meet current fps and frame size.12. Press [b]Q[/b] and [b]Set[/b] to chose the appropriate [b]Resolution[/b], or use the little scroll wheel to scroll from available options. If your card is not fast enough then select acceptable resolutions. Remember to look at the bottom of the screen to see how resolution affect card speed requirements.13. Scroll to [b]Aspect ratio[/b] [b]16:9[/b] is the default. You can scroll with the little wheel or press [b]Set[/b] to change it. By changing the aspect ratio the camera chooses an appropriate video height. Some heights are not the most common ones but these combinations offer better writing speeds. You may have to crop your video in post.[color=red]14. (AUDIO NOT AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW, USE EXTERNAL RECORDER-->)[/color] [s]If you want to record audio (wav file to SD card) scroll to Sound and select Separate [b]WAV[/b], or [b]sync beep[/b], or [b]OFF[/b][/s] 14. [b]Preview: Auto[/b]. Press [b]Set [/b]to change it to: Canon, [b]ML Grayscale[/b], [b]Hacked [/b](see note 6)15. [b]Digital dolly: OFF[/b] On to allow the recording area to scroll from left-to-right or up-down during cropped video or when recording at smaller resolutions then 1920x1080. Use the Joystick to control the direction of the scroll.16. [b]Frame skipping: OFF[/b] To continue recording even if skips frames then scroll to and select [b]Allow[/b].17. [b]Card warm-up: OFF[/b] Press set to select a warm-up file size when camera boots. Some speed improvements obtained.18. [b]Memory hack: OFF[/b]. Press Set to on This frees up more memory to get extra frames in the buffer.19. [b]Small hacks: OFF[/b] to improve the use of memory to increase recording buffer.20. Next option, [b]Playback [/b] After recording a RAW file you can preview it by coming back to this menu and scroll to Playback selection and pressing [b]Set[/b].21. Press [b]Q[/b] and then move to [b]Overlay[/b] and set [b]Global Draw[/b] to [b]OFF[/b]. See note 7.22. To get back to LV just press trash button or half shutter.23. To start and stop recording press the LV button[size=12pt][b]OPTION FOR 24/25 FPS RECORDING:[/b][/size]24. Move to the [b]Movie[/b] tab and select [b]FPS override[/b] with the scroll wheel. (see note below)25. Press the [b]Q[/b] button26. Change the [b]Desired FPS[/b] to 23.97 using the small (top) scroll wheel.27. Move to the [b]Optimize for[/b] with the large scroll wheel.28. Change to [b]Exact FPS[/b] with the small scroll wheel.29. Press the Q button and then press the Set button (on the center of the large scroll wheel) to enable FPS override30. Now FPS should read 23.97.Note 1: It is best to set the Canon video format to 1920 30 fps. When you do this and set the FPS Override to 24 fps you will have very little variation in fps when you switch from zoom mode to standard mode.Note 6. [b] Canon [/b]preview is standard full color, [b]ML Grayscale[/b] is in B&W and also shows the video in its final cropped view (used for framing),[b] Hacked[/b] is special fast hack to increase card writing speed at the expense of freezing Live View.Note 7. If you set Global Draw OFF you will loose histogram, zebras, etc. But you will gain speed. In some cases Global ON is more likely to get pick frames since CPU is working very hard, and also consumes much more power.--------------------[size=12pt][b]For further RAW Video Post processing:[/b][/size]The RAW files will be found inside the DCIM folder.RAW Video: PostProcessing -- Beginners Guide --http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5654.0[Mac/Win/Linux] go here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5404.0[/b]---------------------------[b][size=12pt]Latest findings to prevent frame drops:[/size][/b][u]You should check that in Canon Menu:[/u]Image Quality = RawAuto Lighting Optimizer = OFFLong exp. noise reduction = OFFHigh ISO speed NR = OFFHighlight tone priority = OFFMultiple Exposure = DisableHDR Mode = Disable HDR---------------------------[size=12pt][b]OTHER RECORDING OPTIONS:[/b][/size]If you want to use [b]60 fps[/b] then read here for more detailed settings: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5472.0If you want do a [b]1:1 Digital Video Crop[/b] with your zoom button then go here for detail instructions:http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5441.0---------------------------------------[u][b]OTHER HELPFUL LINKS:[/b][/u]To help the DEVS and everybody it would be a good idea if specific RAW video issues are discussed in a [b]separate thread based on the camera under discussion.[/b]5D3 [b]Uncompressed 14-bit RAW video testing - 5D Mark III[/b] HERE: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5473.05D2 [b]Raw video on 5DMK2[/b]HERE: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5419.0600D [b]Uncompressed 600D Raw Video[/b] HERE: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5494.0[b]6D[/b] 6[b]D + Raw thread (with instillation guide)[/b] HERE: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5530.msg37766#msg37766[b]650D[/b] I dont see a specific RAW video thread.

Where and what is the M tab? because i don't see it anywhere in the menu so I cant load the modulesplease help Thanks
Is there a live view in this new build while recording Raw?
Yes
Witch step i missed? Have you got an idea?
Renato, I have an important question, I was looking for hours in the posts and I can´t find an answer: when you shoot Raw in 5D III, the settings in the camera, like Presets, WB, etc, has any influence in the RAW files? I know appear easy but I cannot find any difference shooting in Neutral or Standard, or changing WB. Please tell me if I am wrong with this. Thanks a lot and sorry if this is not a post to this.
Hi thanks for the great info all over this blog, its amazing!I just followed all of the steps to recording raw video on my new MK3, Komputer bay 64GB card, AE, everything works great except for one thing.... It seems like during every recording, a frame is dropped in the first 13-16 frames causing the recording to stop. Originally I had this option on some sort of override to prevent the camera from stopping the recording. Is there any reason why I would have so many frames being dropped? Maybe its some sort of setting on my end? or installation issue?I really appreciate the responses in advance! Thanks!

Thanks Platu, I changed my resolution to 1920 x 1080 and allowed frame skipping. It works better, more consistent for longer but still in an avereage 400 frame clip I'm dropping 60 frames Any other possibilities or suggestions as far as settings go?
One of the advantages of raw is being able to define these type of things later in post. Picture styles such as neutral have no effect on the final recorded raw file. So things like, contrast, color, sharpness, etc, are not baked into the raw file. You will essentially be defining your own look when grading in post. White balance is another thing you can choose later after shooting. At the moment, the white balance you are shooting at does not get saved correctly to the raw metadata so you will always have to select it later in post. That may change with future development but at the moment, if you bring your raw dng's into Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), and select "As Shot" for white balance, it will not correctly reflect the white balance you shot at. However, you may want to use a certain picture style which can assist you in focusing, such as landscape with the sharpness turned all the way up. This is just for preview and will not have an effect on the final raw file.I hope that helps a little.
vpfilms,here is the thread for raw postprocessing for the mac using raw2dng.http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5508.0I read there at the end they also have problems with this to work with the jun 13 build. The poster mentioned Rawmagic works for mac.http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=6218.0Try that, I suggest to stick with the newer builds for the camera and try to find the extractor that works.
