Magic Lantern Workflow

[@JiriRose]

Love your Videos man. Informative style nice images and I could listen to you all day long ;) Thanks alot.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Thanks :D

[@wtfmategaming]

Your ML videos are amazing. I’ve had it on my 700D for years and didn’t know about all the features

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I was like that too, it was such a hassle to record in Raw before I found MLV app.

[@Sleepe66]

do you think i should get this for my own main camera like worrying about bricking my camera

[@IAMDIMITRI]

For legal reasons I dont want to give you advice on what you should do. But for me it was worth it. There is so many functions that are awesome.

[@Sleepe66]

@@IAMDIMITRI I am willing to try it down the road

[@youngmikevevochannel1968]

Hi pal i love your explanation man I got a quick question please, I've got a canon 600d would this work on my camera?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

It's listed as one of the supported cameras. Good luck =)

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Hahaha people notice stuff

[@stefbaumeister266]

Hey Damitri, does your video have little green dots in it when you upload to MLV or is it just my set up that's showing small green pixels shooting in blue hour evening.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I'm guessing it's not moire or focus dots you are talking about? Or maybe it is? MLV app should get rid of those. Or maybe it's something a simple 3x3 croma smooth (Inside of MLV app) can get rid of? I'm not sure what green dots you are talking about, mine was red and MLV app got rid of those. I'm sure your dots are fixable too, try googling a bit.

[@rockyelvis]

hi! thanks for the video! what would you say are the computer spec requirements for a smooth workflow? like in terms of RAM and Ghz. cheers!

[@IAMDIMITRI]

More is better. I used laptop 16gb, 3.0 quadcore. You would use proxy and optimized media anyway. Now I have a normal PC with 64gb ram and 4.5ghz quadcore. Davinci does not crash on 4k files anymore and rendering is faster. But slower hardware works too but slower.

[@MC_Theta]

How are you getting the data format option at 1:58? I'm using the 700D as well.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

4k Experimental build of Magic lantern from the magic lantern website =)

[@suryachereddy]

What memory card are you using? I'm using a class 10 memory card but the frames keep skipping.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Yes I got the same. UHS3 class 10 memory card. What Camera are you using? 700D? It's can only write at 41 Mbyte/s to the card. That's the reason for using 4k build from experimentals, it allows you to losslessly compress 14bit raw to fit within that limit. But be carefull, I had to flash camera firmware to the latest Canon version before installing latest 4k build on it. Camera firmware has to match Magic Lantern build! Good luck.

[@suryachereddy]

@@IAMDIMITRI turn's out I'm using UHS1 class 10 card. Gotta get a UHS3 card for better write speed

[@IAMDIMITRI]

@@suryachereddy I only bought it because I wanted to be future proof and I wanted fast read speed of the card, I knew it was faster then I needed. You can go on Magic Lantern forum and read up on the speed test. You can test your cards speed inside the Magic Lantern to see what speeds your card can handle. I never done it. And there is a module for UHS hack, maybe you get some extra frames out of that. I just know it exists, you should read up on it and see if it helps. :: But before you do all this? You do have 4k build with 14bit lossless activated? Because if you don't have that, it does not matter what card you have.

[@suryachereddy]

@@IAMDIMITRI yes I have 4k build with 14bit lossless activated. I just benchmarked my SD card ( using magic lantern benchmarking module ) and it maxes out at 10mbps write and 30mbps read.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

@@suryachereddy I see. Ye you probably will need a faster card then.

[@BLACKOPS2DETONA]

What is the writing speed of the sd card you used?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I use 95Mbps card.

[@zoeyonas]

Hi dear, you did a great video about ML thanks. So can I achieve or produces a 4k output from my canon 70d please?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Probably not. It's the same sensor as 700D. I'm not sure about the rest but I don't think you would be be able to record native 4k in raw on that camera. Make a deep dive on the magic lantern forums to learn more =) Good luck.

[@TheDerekCrosson]

Maybe try to modify the 700D version of Bilal’s build 🤔

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I just make Videos :P

[@renatodossantos6061]

I've never seen a job as well done in Magic Lantern as yours. Congratulations! I bought my 700D exactly to be able to use the Magic Lantern, however, when shooting in RAW, the famous pink dots appear in the center of the image. What method did you use to remove them so perfectly?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I use MLV app. It does this automatically.

[@renatodossantos6061]

@@IAMDIMITRI Thanks for your help. I'm going to do some tests. : )

[@adjacentstalker9237]

Preferred SD Card? Also is firmware version 1.15 needed for 700D before installing this build?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Yes. I needed to upgrade to 1.15 version of the firmware. The name of the files should include the firmware version you need. For example this name has 115 at the end, meaning it's for 1.15 version - magiclantern-crop_rec_4k.2018Jul22.700D115 . zip I'm not sure about the SD card, I just bought the fastest I could afford at the time and it was like 4 or 5 years ago. The one I have is extreme pro 95mb/s. If you google, there should be a list of suitable cards if you want to save a bit or money.

[@adjacentstalker9237]

IAMDIMITRI legitimately you’re a legend, thank you dude. seriously, just went with the extreme pro sandisk also. Was using a basic SD card that froze often while recording, think this will do the job as well.

[@areito5]

Hi and thank you for your help. I use ML in my Canon EOS-M, T3i and 5D Mark III and I love it.

[@SERCA2024]

@@IAMDIMITRI Sadly not

[@IAMDIMITRI]

@@SERCA2024 Sorry I can't help. But if you have to do some research, try to Google "Magic lantern memory card test". And if you memory card is fast enough try installing latest build from bilal and add all of those memory optimizations. Good luck

[@mrlightwriter]

I followed every step of your video, but in RAW video I can only choose Bit Depth - 10bpp, 12bpp or 14bpp. It doesn't display Data format (as in your video), and therefore I can't choose 14-bit lossless, for example. What am I missing?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

If you correctly installed 4k build from experimentals. It might be that you have activated the wrong module inside modules. There should be mlv_lite and mlv_rec. I don't know which one is the correct one. But one of them should allow you to do 14bit lossless compression. Hope it helps ;)

[@mrlightwriter]

@@IAMDIMITRI You're right, I activated the the wrong module (the RAW video (MLV) instead of the RAW video). Thanks! However, I have now another problem: when I convert the MLVs to DNGs, each DNG is full of noise in the upper part of the frame, and black at the bottom. Has this happened to you?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

@@mrlightwriter No I haven't experienced that. Did you convert with the "MLV App"? If you can't find a solution, try asking on Magic Lantern forum or maybe on Reddit. They should know better. =) Good luck.

[@mrlightwriter]

@@IAMDIMITRI I've been trying with MLV converter and mlraw, but it wasn't working. I downloaded the MLV App you talked about and its much simpler and, more importantly, it works. Thank you very much for your help!

[@jakii001]

Does the footage look weird when looking at it on the camera itself? For me it’s super grainy and dull.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

No not really. Does not look grainy or dull. Ask people on the forum or maybe on reddit, they should know. =) Wih pictures. Good luck.

[@jakii001]

IAMDIMITRI How do you get the 14 bit lossless? I’m using a 700D nightly build and that data format option is not there. Am I missing something?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

@@jakii001 Yes probably. I used 4k experimental build. Check that firmware matches before installing. You can get same result from nightly build too, but it will cap your recording time at 12 seconds. Also, you probably have to activate raw recording module inside your camera. Sorry, I didn't go over all of the details in this video >< It was meant for people who where already somewhat familiar with magic lantern. Hope it helps.

[@jakii001]

I found the experimental 4K build, as well as14 bit lossless, thank you.

[@trongduybui6897]

do you convert hd to 4k with davici or with adobe encoder?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I export 2592x1080 in Davinci. I do this to get better compression from KZbin. Else I would just export 1920x800. It's upscaled from 1736x726

Sorry I had to check something out before answering. It does not look like it's possible. I managed to do 1080p @48 fps and 720p@60fps RAW. When I lower resolution I still can't go above 70, Magic Lantern does not allow me. I don't think it's possible to force 120fps. EDIT: Oh, and that's on 700D. That's maybe differ for other cameras.

thanks mitri ,, ur videos helping me alot , i have too 700d installed few weeks back , but domt knw y my hdr videos so flicking , help me out dude, or made video on it hdr video recording with the solution, peace nd be safe

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I haven't done hdr myself but I'm guessing that it takes 2 different exposure to produce HDR image. That's why it's flickering like that. Try using MLV App and check HDR blending when exporting. Or use separate 2 frames from each other and blend manually. There are also apps specifically made for HDR workflow, like timelapses etc. I'm sure it should work for you as well. But try checking the HDR blending option first. And understand that technically you have half of the frames when using HDR more this way.

[@deepak.sehgal001kumar5]

@@IAMDIMITRI thank you Mitri i have to find out hdr blending or workflow related apps , can you please advice me some apps for this issue for windows , it would be great , i m very thankful to u once again ,that u atleast understand my problem nd gave valuable suggestion which i will defeinatly work it on, 😎 (kindly make video on hdr video work flow while flickering time )hope u get it , and i want to share with u information about Ml, which might be u knw like intervelometer there is other option also then ml settings where u can low down Fps rate like 2-10fps rate for video recording its gives video feel of timelapse , and automatically adjust ur exposers too while recording ,,, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN :-)

I like your style and will follow you. BUT, you make the same mistake that so many others do: Loud background sound over the spoken voice. You should know that narration is the priority over sound (and the choice of sound also) so I hope you take that on board. Anyway, you're doing good work.

Hmm, interesting. I will look into this =) Thanks for letting me know.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I think you might not be used to my speech or dialect. To me it sounds perfect and I always try to keep -6dB speech and -12dB background. But I realised that background should be even lower, specially in videos where speech in paramount. BBC made some studies on this subject. Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. I think you are right, I need to lower the background to account for people who are not used to me talking. Subscribe to see how it turnes out :P
