I have been asking for a video tutorial about how to get 2k on my 5d mark iii using magic lantern since last year and I can't tell you how HAPPY I AM to see someone finally made the video. Dude you are freaking AWESOME!!
+Cameron Scott MAAAAAN! This is mind blowing!! You just gave me an idea that I can use my Canon 650d with ultra-wide lenses and getting 1080p!!!! Man you amazing!!
Thanks for the walk thru, my only concern is shooting for long periods of time. I read that it starts a new movie file automatically and that you loose about a second or so, is this true? If I'm using an external audio recorder for my shotgun mic, my concern it loosing audio sync. Any suggestions?
The "K" stand for the number of pixels in the frame width my friend!! 1920x1080 is considered 2k (cuz its close enough almost 2,000px width) ..anything over 2048 is considered higher than 2k.
I don't see the raw recording module in my magic lantern menu. are you using the magic lantern build that works with the canon 2.0.3 firmware or the one for the 2.0.6 firmware?
2496 x 1048 or so is what your had your resolution set at and you can get 10-15 seconds at this rez? when you pressed 5x crop in live view the image was very zoomed in but when you played it back it was wider. i don`t understand. i thought crop mode ment it recorded a zoomed in image as in only the center of the sensor. another workds if you used a 50mm on normal in crop mode it would act as if it was at least a 200mm in angle of view. also can you record higher frame rate with the 7d ? 60fps at lower raw resolution?
Hey thanks for the video, can you please tell how did you get the option of Bitrate (CBR) in movie mode ML, i get Load H264,ini option which ends at a error "cant find h264.ini" please help, thanks
I'm confused as to why and how putting the camera into 5x crop gives you 2k. I see that it works, but isn't 5x crop just an image magnification to use for manual focusing? Not sure how the two are related. Any ideas?
I'm surprised that you are not using MagicLantern exposure guides and do it in Canon firmware instead. That's where Magic Lantern shines, with zebras, false colour and all that.
I have a x1066 32 gb lexar, but when i try to record the video has a lot of color and image bug, like when the tv has not the signal..can you hep me please?
Mine are converted into .RAW or .MRX, can't do anything with them and really would love for some advice on what to do to edit them into premiere. Still hate that I can only record up to 10-11 sec.
I've been thinking of going for the ML hack, but decided it's too limiting and too much of a fuss for such a limiting use. Better to save up and go for a purpose built camera like one from BMD.
Canon 7D with magiclantern crop mode, is it possible to get correct framing during recording? If correct framing is possible, can you do a tutorial or give a hint of how to do it?
You can use the view mode which displays proper framing by pressing the info button, I believe it turns black and white but you will get an accurate frame. For everything in crop mode I usually just shoot for the edge or middle of the screen and assume I will get enough extra left and right space in 2k mode. I’d highly recommend using regular raw mode for almost 1080 and scaling it up the 11%, you get plenty of record time and an image that looks better while maintaining live view and framing.
Hi. Question! When I try to film in raw, the image change to b&w and then when I try to shoot, the video is almost bad, with rare cuts Is it for the camera's temperature? It shows me 45º or 50º. Mi CF card is 60 Mb/s Thanks!
change live view by pressing the info button, you can't record with the magic lantern info on screen. Just frame your shot and switch views, this will prevent pink frames and recording problems.
it becomes 5x the lenses you use and you can use live view but not with ml display full shot, best to frame the shot then switch to regular view with info button, the display which won't show you the full view though.
+Cameron Scott so basically you can`t view crop mode on the lcd while recording? so panning the camera , or tracking a moving object on a glidecam would be out of the question right?
+Lima Junior what model card are you using? I recommend the LEXAR PRO Cards due to issues experienced when using slower cards. These cards are rated at 155mb/s
Good video. I'm still not a fan of the image being cropped even more on a crop sensor camera. How can you shoot a short film in RAW in a small room? For example if you shooting a bedroom scene in small room? I was excited about shooting RAW on my 7D but having to crop even more seriously killed my hope.
I learned to work around it, sure it won't give you a wide angle view of a room but you have all the other benefits of raw. If you are considering using this feature for something more than just an added bonus to having a 7d I would say get a 5d instead because there is more functionality. Also maybe don't shoot 2k as you can shoot 1080p raw instead of 5x crop. The biggest challenge is framing anyway and I wouldn't feel comfortable guessing where the edges of my frame are on a shoot. Remember the 7d is running ML as a hack and it has exceeded expectations already, any features not included by Canon were left out for a reason.
Cameron Scott I'm still new at this and you're video was the best one I ran into on RU-vid in regards to shooting 2K or higher. No one else went into detail as far as setting up the aspect ratio like you did. Anyways, I was thinking of shooting in 1728x972 (16:9) RAW or 1728x1036 (5:3) when i change the aspect ratio and maybe try to scale it as close as possible to 1920x1080p in post. Since it's recorded in RAW I might be able to get away with it with a little bit of sharpen, etc. That's the best way i can think of to get 1080p RAW without having to shoot in crop mode. I'll experiment with it and let you know how it goes. Sounds like good idea but i won't know until I actually try it out.
Hi! This is good result! Maybe you found the way to control the full image? In crop mode I cant control right and left side of my frame, because focus on center
when the file size hits 4 gigs it will stop. The T3i doesn't support exfat iirc, so you are kinda stuck, but can probably work around it with editing choices.
Since this video was from last year you may no longer have this camera but can you tell me what was the highest bit rate in non-2k mode in either 24p or 60p you could shoot video at and what was the maximum time allowed. Thanks
Just under 1728x982 resolution, 23.976fps in raw video mode it can do 66mbps constant recording no limit for file size but it will split them. Tested up to 5 minutes of recording time on a 1066x Lexar pro card
Thank you so much for your time in responding. It is quite a feat it can do unlimited raw under the settings you described. Do you have merge those split files with a third party software program, and do you still use the camera.
Cameron Scott i now. ML have benchmark test inside, that allows to know read/write speed. Example my 6d with Sandisk E[treme 45mbps is show 41-42mbps. 7d must be faster...
+Lee Lounsbury I think because they are actually possible, but for fps override time lapses. Like 7 fps or 1 fps. Very useful for low light. Hope this helps.
when i was shooting 16:9 at 1728 i was getting 11 seconds out of it, changing to this resolution limited me to 3 seconds, did i miss anything or would it be my cf card? it's a 16gb 120mb/s
I would recommend the 5d mark iii as it will be a better camera overall and have more functionality with magic lantern see this chart dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4124919/bleeding-edge/raw/raw-chart.png again remember it is a dslr and not a video camera so there are still rolling shutter problems.
Cameron Scott thought i bricked my Canon camera yesterday trying to put on the latest magic lantern nightly build. I managed to fix it and downgrade to the previous version... still, it's bye bye Canon. They've been behind the curve for too long now. Sony is the way forward. i'm going to get the a7s II. 4K with in-body image stabilization is the way to go.
Hey Cameron, could I ask you a couple questions about using the Magic Lantern through email? If so, please let me know and I can send you my email address. Thanks so much! - Evan
I don't get the point of shooting like this.. you can only shoot 15 seconds and you have to keep the magnification to x5.. how can you frame your shot like that?
Just shows what the camera is capable of, you can frame your shot with the camera in the ml info mode, it shows a full shot even if you are in crop mode.
+Ryan Weir No, because a 6D doesn't take a CF card which is needed for their speed to record high res Raw. the 6D can record a lower resolution Raw video
+Yung Sandwich one simple search didn't tell you two things obviously. 1. UHS 2 and 3 Sd cards have more pins that allow for the faster transfer. The 6D is not compatible with that card 2. The 6D has a max write incapable which is too low and the card would be up to the task, sure, but now the cameras the problem Try not calling someone a moron when you don't know what you're talking about
