5D2 RAW video Builds 14-Bit

[mihaii]

Can anyone explain the new "auto exposure" module? I loaded it and enable it, but it doesnt "auto" anything. I supposd it should act like an "auto iso"?

Thanks

It's just for photo mode.

It's just for photo mode.

After doing all the setting to shoot video, what is the setting to shoot Photo with ML firmware?

Same as normal, choose settings from photo menu in ML

if using LiveView make sure movie mode isnt enabled for LV

Hello all

Fantastic job for this 14-Bit RAW video!
Tons of thanks!

After use it some times it's well working except:
With last builds (2013-07-11 ~ 2013-07-25) I get the same bug reported by Siberia in post http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5533.msg61762#msg61762
-> with FPS override set at low FPS there's a frame doubling in RAW videos. the sequence is (frame numbers): 121314151617(...) after extraction with RAW2DNG (build 2013-07-15).

Other bug, maybe with the same origin: With FPS override, multiple RAW video files (RAW, R00, Rnn) cannot be concatenated with the DOS cmd line copy /B and DNG cannot be extracted in individual video files by renaming in RAW.
The error message is in both of cases: 'Error: This ain't a lv_rec RAW file'

And beside, I tried to change the colour of the frame border (white border on screen) in RAW video mode without success: Is there a way? Because this border is flicking...


*Edit to add the error message.

I need to understand something. What's the difference between this raw2dng for Mac http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5508.0 and the one that I can find in the first page here? https://bitbucket.org/a_d_/magic-lantern/downloads
I mean, are they using a different debayering algorithm? And why I am not able to disable auto ProRes file creation in the one in the first page?

Thanks

anyone use a field monitor on the 5d2 yet?

Hello all 
I came a cross a transcoder,from DNG's & or Cinema DNG
on Windows Platform, called "CINEMARTIN CINEC"
links >http://www.cinemartin.com/cinec/#versions
you can take you dng's in & convert to ProRes 4444, convert colormatix (space) etc... on the pc 
But you need the gold version to do this    (399.00 EU dollars)
Bright side there have a 35 Day free trial download unrestricted.
there is also a free Version that i use for h264 to ProRes on the PC 
i use a New toshiba Laptop i7 Ivorybrige
Take advantage of all your cpu core, pretty darn fast .

With raw video, the HDMI out of 5D2 does not drop to SD resolution and stay in HD.
You do not have to turn on hdmi-vga option in ML menu.

However, the white rectangular framing guide is skewed and offset to the left, some find this distracting, so turn it off by choosing in raw video menu>preview>ml grayscale.

The hdmi out is still in color but the offset frame guide is removed. For framing I used the old fashioned way of placing a transparent acetate over screen with different crop lines, if your monitor support crop guides that may help.
You can use tape to mask your crop.

Also, DO NOT preview raw video with hdmi monitor attached as it will freeze your cam, you have to take out battery and back to reboot.

nice. thank you very much gents.
we're planning on doing a feature on a 5d2 or possibly a 5d3.
are there any other pitfalls i should be weary about during production?
me thinks the latest build is good enough for a pro shoot.

[noix222]

just tested new a.d laboratory build... work like a charm and i pushed a little bit this time. i tried some 30fps shots and work as good as 24fps but with the buffer limitation [200frames in 16:9 18526x1040 1880 off small hacks ON] . I also tested in 24fps with 1880 ON and OFF and both are framing perfect! To be honest i prefer using 1880 ON so i get all my shots 1876x1054 in both 1x mode or 3x mode. Awesome JOB guys... this thing keeps getting better and better!

[reddeercity]

Hi All 
on July 16th 10:40pm MST i did a 3x crop test on the july 11th built which had 3 bad frames out of 5700 frames.
What i found very interesting is the framing is off a little.
Basically i let the moon pass though the crop window until it was gone in the preview window.
But it did not as you see, if you watch the whole Video until the end 
I have not tried the new built yet to see if this is still a problems.
But at any rate i put some music on from vimeo so i hope everyone enjoy it 

   

Edit: 200mm with 2x extender = 400mm @f 5.6
in crop mode 3x = 1200mm
ISO 200 with ML -0.3 = 160 ISO, i think 

to see the original 2K file i uploaded it to YouTube

[reddeercity]

How you enebled crop mode in 5D2 ?

Press the 5x/10x magnification button on the top right hand side
 then go back to the ML menu & select frame sizes up to 2K etc..

Trying several times, nothing

What Raw record module built are you using ?
make sure you are in the ML menu and not the canon menu
and also you must be in 5X magnification mode not 10X
hope that helps

Nothing... trying several times without success
trying also all RAW module builds - nothing....

You are sure you have 5D Mark II and not mark III?

[gabz]

Sure ! i did the same on the mark II this week end (200 +extender on the moon).
All i did was "load modules"
activate video RAW in the ML menu
then go in 5x press "trash" to set your resolution, press record (set)

Other folks with 5DII are using it too just hit the 5x zoom botton with raw video on and press record, its that simple!

Ok, i find the problem, there must be magic zoom set in all modes in ML menu and then it worked like a charm
