[@dbuckfanplays7991]

I can't wait to try this out this week. As a complete noob to all of this I've been blown away with your previous builds. I've been able to stay in a good budget and turn out some high quality stuff and I am the kind of person who loves to tinker. Thanks again

[@JayGee1]

Great walkthrough 👍 I just bought a 700D and installed your build so this walkthrough was super helpful. Great work.

[@verezworkshop1483]

hey I just got a 700d too! I see there is a shutter and normal version, Which one?

[@actorjad]

@@verezworkshop1483 Try the normal version first, if shutter speed is reported correctly in ML menu then just use the normal build, if shutter speed isn't reported correctly in ML menu, try "shutter" version.

Amazing work! Are the anamorphic presets (for example the 5.2k 2.39:1 23.976 preset) going to fully continuous recording with SD overclock?

[@actorjad]

Thanks! Yes, it's mostly continuous at 10-bit, 240 MHz, Small hacks set to More and turning off ML global draw will help too. That will depend on scene, in most cases I could record for more than ~6 minutes then stopped the recording manually.

[@alanhuang6214]

Thank you Bilal! You are amazing! Because ML and your builds, my passion of film making is dream come true. Any chance we can fund you to continue work on 5D MKIII to similar build? Or start working on 5K MK4? Once again, you are amazing to develop this tool for us to use. Thank you!

[@sebastianbach1151]

Great video, very helpful. Just learned about crop mood recently and am currently tinkering with it. By the way, what's the difference between setting the aspect ratio in crop mood vs. the raw video? Should I always match them?

[@MaxoticsTV]

Just put your build on an old SL1 I had in a drawer. What an improvement! The crop mood is interesting, but even the other stuff seems to be more stable! 1600x900 continuous (and not its max I realize). Who'd a thunk it possible! I also have a 7D, but am not seeing a reason to use it anymore for ML RAW? Or am I wrong on that?

[@felipehenaovideo]

Speeds for 650D, any time? Thank you Great Job!

[@chriswganser]

Thanks!!!!!

[@mobagel_]

Crazy.

[@orki]

Is there any best practice on that? I would appreciate / be happy to get any guidance on how to practically setup all this for recording a 2.5K or 4K raw footage for example. What would be the best settings in such a case? It would be great to get an simple explanation.

[@tomman7729]

[@TheBohrokMan]

Absolutely incredible work! A quick question, do you know if it's possible to output higher resolution video over USB live view to a computer? (typically these cameras are capped at 540p or 640p over USB)

[@actorjad]

Thanks! I don't think it's possible, at least ML doesn't do anything regarding USB output. You can still use HDMI output with a capture card, it will give you 1620x1080 resolution embedded in 1080i output (assuming the capture card support 1080i output).

[@TheBohrokMan]

@@actorjad I see, thank you!

[@Life.Reimagined]

Amazing video! Donated! Small question. How’s this camera for live streaming via hdmi now? What’s the output?

[@actorjad]

Thanks! The build doesn't change anything regarding HDMI outputs. For streaming, you don't need to use crop mood. EOS M supports 480p and 1080i outputs by defualt, I think it's 1620x1080 resolution embded in 1920x1080i signal.

[@fjellvaak]

Bil., I have tested the crop mood on my M and it works great even after some time on. After testing the 700D it seems very temperature sensitive - when going above 50 deg C write speed goes down to 20 mb/s. I left it to cool and benchmark write speed jumped to 75mb/s. It then showed 42 degrees. After 1 minute on, it again showed 52 degrees. I feel a little uncertain about the unstable write speed on the 700. /Stein

[@fjellvaak]

It seems the write speed is unstable - independant of temp - will contact directly.

[@actorjad]

Hmm, that shouldn't happen if you have compatible fast SD card. Write speeds are fine in my 700D (getting stable ~80 MB/s here).

[@fjellvaak]

@@actorjadThanks. I have written more details in your MagicLantern forum, username Canoneer. I am lost.

[@fjellvaak]

@@actorjad As you know from your forum - I managed to get it out of drama mood to crop mood thanks to you!

[@wiama]

Does Crop Mood support Canon lenses with image stabilization?

[@DavinciHD_]

What’s the best quality setting with unlimited recording ?

[@irfansmirza]

its amazing work, but just one thing, my hdmi out screen freezes at 1080p mode 3x3, what should i do

[@actorjad]

Thanks! Set focus box slightly below center, or set AF method to FlexiZone Multi from Canon menu if you are using MF

[@rappahel]

Thanks for the awesome settings walkthrough. I've been learning magic lanterns for days ! But I have a question. I'm using ur lastest build on eos 650d , I've done same settings like you did. Crop mood, raw video setting also I have fast sd card. However when i record the video and replay it, it looks like pictures are moving i mean it looks like it has a frame drop on the video. Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

[@actorjad]

Thanks, cool to hear that! MLV Playback in camera isn't real-time, it will be always slow or choppy. Playback in MLVApp will be more likely not real-time too (depending on PC specs, especially the CPU), you need to export the footage in this case to ProRes or any other compressed video format (H.264, H.265..etc), then replay the footage (it should be real-time).

[@stakolachook2581]

How do you switch ISO quickly? Glad I donated!

[@actorjad]

Thanks! Currently you have to change ISO from ML menu . .I will add customized buttons in future release!

[@zeusarts_illustration]

Hey Bilal, your work is great and it worked out super awesome for some projects, though recently my screen turns slowly black in every mode during recording. I already changed the focus box to below/ left corner, however this did not help at all. Any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance😊

[@actorjad]

Thanks you! Could you share a video shows the probelm also your ML settings? Which build version are you using?

[@dennispagterchristensen7786]

You rocks man! Is crop mood coming out for 5D mk2? Thanks

[@actorjad]

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have 5D2 so I can't work on it.

[@MysterSer333]

Why does it appear with lines on the view afterwards? I keep getting the message "movie recording stopped automagically, flushing buffers" or "skipped frame. stopping video.." ..what am I doing wrong? My SD Overclock also won't work. It says safe mode triggered, try a lower(or different) setting".. I've tried them all and just bought a 128gb 200mb/s SD as an upgrade to my 95mb/s -.- I still can't make it work! on a t4i/650d

[@littleripper666]

5.2K never appears on my Canon 700D. Why does this happen? 🤔

[@actorjad]

I am not sure what are you doing, you can find it if you select 1x3 then set aspect ratio from crop mood submenu to 2.35:1, then set Preset to "Highest" which is 5.2K (as showing in video).

[@trydowave]

i installed crop mood. First time i got into into movie with the usual ml display. after rebooting a few time it looks like a standard canon display. i can still get into ml menu which is really odd. anyone know whats going on? ive formatted and reinstalled cropmood 3 times now with no luck

[@surenamatya3002]

[@dbuckfanplays7991]

Is there a way to get auto focus to work?

[@actorjad]

CAF doesn't work with crop mood presets, only in native Canon mode. However you can trigger AF while idle by pressing half-shutter, or when recording by turning off small hacks.

[@wiama]

may I ask what camera is this? and what memory card do you recommend for ML? sorry I'm still new to ML

[@actorjad]

Hi! This was the 700D, I use both Sandisk Extreme PRO 170 MB/s (64 GB) and 200 MB/s (256 GB) versions, and they are great. Other SD cards might work too, check: wiki.magiclantern.fm/cards_240mhz

Issue with the 4/18 release: When RAW Video is set to 12-BITS the Recording LiveView says 14-bits. Thankfully the file is 12-bits.

[@actorjad]

Thanks for reporting! The issue was fixed in latest build which is 19 August.

[@GeorgeLuk]

Thank you for everything, and I would like to ask, when I was using a SanDisk Extreme PRO 200MB/s'SD card and followed the video settings 1:1crop 2.5k and 2.5k to shoot RAW video, but unfortunately the recording time was only a few tens of frames, and the same was true for setting the 1x3 mode. How can I solve this problem?

[@ezravazquez]

If you want to continue recording, it's necessary to buy the SD SanDisk Extreme PRO 170MB/s because the SD SanDisk Extreme PRO 200MB/s doesn't work properly with Croop Mod.

[@actorjad]

Could you share a video shows what are you doing also your ML settings?

[@actorjad]

@@ezravazquez Some varity of SanDisk Extreme PRO 200MB/s cards don't work with 240 MHz SD overclocking, currently I don't have Sandisk 200 MB/s so I can't make tests.

[@earlfenwick]

Does ML run better on the 700D the the M?

[@veronbrown8112]

You are very calm and enlightening. Great video. I just got the 650D and upgraded to firmware 1.0.5. When I go to the ML site it says Crop Mood can only be used with firmware 1.0.4. I tried and it doesn't work on 1.0.4. What suggestions for me to get the older software?

[@actorjad]

Thanks! You need to downgrade Canon firmware from 1.0.5 to 1.0.4, the process should be easy (I think there are tutorials on YT about this), Here is firmware 1.0.4 for 650D: pel.hu/down/v104-t4i-650d-x6i-win.zip

[@tecnogadget2]

Im getting some weird glitches on the viewfinder where i see a LOT of horizontal lines and it wont record over 10 secs. Using a t5i with a 170mb/s card and enabling the sd overclock. Am i doing something wrong?

[@actorjad]

Re "Im getting some weird glitches on the viewfinder where i see a LOT of horizontal lines": These are considered as normal in crop mood build, these lines appears because of changing LiveView configuration when using crop mood presets, they are not dangerous but maybe a little annoying to see. It only affect LiveView, RAW data isn't affected. It become more visible when using high ISO with lower bit-depths. Currently there is no real fix to this, some more research and digging will be required. Re "wont record over 10 secs": Certain resolutions/presets require high write speed (higher than the camera which can handle), try to use lower bit-depths, also small hacks under RAW video submenu.

[@tecnogadget2]

@@actorjadunfortunately the lines did appear on the file once transferred to my PC. Will give it a go once again in the next few days. BTW, i'll be using this camera for Car Reels on instagram, which preset would you recommend for that? Using the camera in vertical position OFC

With the sd overclocking what is the 240MHz equivalent to in terms of sd card speeds? Can you recommend a good card to use? Thanks

[@actorjad]

These SD cards were tested and should work: wiki.magiclantern.fm/cards_240mhz 240 MHz should give ~90 MB/s to 95 MB/s write speed (depending on SD card) when running SD benchmarks in camera in Play mode.

[@S.Mullen]

I've created a slide show of each step to get crop mood working. The first steps do require you to go into the Canon menu. But no how to video ever show these steps. It seems crop mood should begin with automatically setting the Canon menu or it should show a screen shot of what you should do.
