Raw Video Workflow for 5D Mark III & Magic Lantern

[@albertodavidmercado619]

I am buying a Canon 5d Mark III today for personal projects! I love to see that raw has become even more reliable ! A lot of videos are from 2013! Thank you for doing an update!

[@chunkykizza]

So after using your method for a few shoots, I can say I am pleasantly surprised, I need expose alittle different from the hunter method which I actually prefered, I was so used to underexposing slightly, but now I shoot exactly how I like the picture on the camera. Your LUT, is actually very nice :) Thanks Mate, great job :) I now shoot 25p 10bit 1.67x now for interviews, file sizes are around 38mb/s, and picture quality is great :) Plan on getting a eosm as b camera. cheers mate.

[@MitchLally]

Great news :) Just use the raw histogram in the camera while shooting to get the perfect exposure!

[@JoshuaEiffel]

Thanks Mitch, so hyped when I see the raw community for the 5D is still alive and well :) Thanks so much for this, super useful.

[@MitchLally]

Thanks! Glad to help.

[@steven.n.friends]

Great tutorial, Marked!

[@Kenslyfresh]

Thank God for you man. Glad I stumble across this. I too struggle with ML RAW trying to get the look I want. This is GREAT!!!

[@MitchLally]

Glad you enjoyed :) Remember to expose correctly using the raw histogram!

[@Kenslyfresh]

Mitch Lally I wonder will that LUT also work on my 7D as well.

[@MitchLally]

If it works let me know! I would be keen to see as I don't own a 7D.

[@vomitory7280]

Thanks man. I was waiting this kind of in depth pointers forever. Subscribed.

[@everythingANTHONY]

Hey Mitch... Can resolve decode my Magic lantern footage? It appears that's what you did... Also what memory card did you use?

[@prashantthorawade5267]

Brao....!! U made my day Mitch Lally....Today i got what i was looking for since 2years....thank u so much...i hav no words for u :-D

[@drunkengrunze]

Hi Im thinking to shoot raw video. I have sandisk 64Gb 160mbps. Is that memory card good enough to shoot raw video? Thanks

[@FrankieTheOne]

Do you record full 1080p raw with no crop? And does the autofocus work with ML?

[@RainBow-op5go]

Super brother.. Really happy for your efforts.. May triune god bless you.

[@DIPProjectIOFFICIALCHANNEL]

Hello, what lens did you use in this video?

[@carlosmontielvalenzuela784]

Very helpful! Thanks! ❤️ Mac users I recommend you "MLV App 2", I haven't had problems decoding MLV files.

[@dariSSightEntertainment]

This video is awesome, very informative and something I've been look for the last 4 years of Magic Lantern. I'm using 5D Mark II so I'm curious what lens did you use, what the highest ISO did you use and lastly do you prefer DiVinci over Adobe Raw and AfterEffects to process into ProRes4444XQ?

[@MitchLally]

I used a variety of lenses, mostly primes. I used up to 4000 ISO. I prefer Resolve over AE because of render time and colour space options :) Its about 10x faster which means a lot when encoding 1.5TB of MLVs.

[@stunningimages1]

Hey buddy great video. Just a quick question what picture profile did you use to record your raw video? Was it Cine-style?

[@w500nm]

stunningimages1 Picture profiles don't apply to RAW videos, only h264. You have to do that in post

[@DRAMAFLS_official]

Have your camera ever not recorded the footage...even u recorded ...as of the footage damaged...?

[@RTI_MD]

Great video. How much data do you have with an average (average in a time-frame meaning ) wedding? I've been playing with ML for quite some time, tried different workflows, I'm currently owning a 6D (though had a 5D3) - if you need to upscale the footage (which you need in case of 6D, if you deliver 1080p) the best, but slowest way is After effects, also works well if you are used to process raw files as a photographer. Davinci is much faster though, and has the right tools if you are used to video color grading process :)

[@MitchLally]

Yeah I agree, after effects has better controls for raw but Davinci is much faster. Its around 1-1.5 TB for 3 cams.

[@RTI_MD]

Yep, Davinci is much faster! 1.5TB is quite a lot for a wedding, and risky IMO :) I thought you film only the highlights footage in MLV (maybe including the first dance and some of the outside, daylight footage where you need the DR).

[@MitchLally]

+TataruRoman nope I usually film all of it. You could probably get away with 1TB or less now that magic lantern can do 10 bit raw.

[@RTI_MD]

I see, thank you for your answers. Raw or not, your do a great job!

[@RTI_MD]

So after you got the XT-2, is there any sense filming raw with 5d3? :) How do you personally see this?

[@MaxxD17]

dos autofocus still work with ML raw and is it any good? :) - Thanks in advance!

[@guitarideas9682]

Thanks so much for the breakdown! What's your workflow like after this? How do you maintain such great quality from Davinci into premiere then youtube?

[@HPantea]

I have a question with your actual production day, I found shooting RAW on my 5D MarkIII fills up my cards very quickly. How did you manage with the files sizes while shooting something like a wedding? I'm a little too scared to commit to ML for things like weddings. Thanks for the great video btw!

[@ashleyf5806]

I have a client who has me working with MLVs I need to convert to .dng, I've been trouble shooting on my mac all weekend, and I can only get the first file to convert. The program won't read any of the other twenty or so files. Have any suggestions for me?

[@TheMotionMedia]

Hey Mitch Lally, I'm a bit lost. New to ML. I just downloaded the firmware to my 5D III and I shoot .MLV Files instead of DNG Sequences. Is there a special module to be used to record dngs? or do you use any special software to covert them? Thank you so much!

[@MitchLally]

You need to convert the MLV files to Cinema DNG. There are programs available on the forum but it depends what OS you are running Mac or Win? I use MLVFS or cr2hdr. Try searching either of those and following the instructions.

[@xinyanqqxinyanqq2883]

I shoot with 5d3 MLV three years,thank so much,I shoot landscape,woud you like begin one class for how to colorgrading landscape shots with MLV?THANKS

[@berechiah2024]

How was the histogram in camera for this video to work Was it z little bright or dark or in the middle

[@kamranfarooqui7619]

Could I apply your 5d Mark III LUT pack on my 5d Mark II as well? Just wondering...

[@MitchLally]

Are you shooting magic lantern raw video with your mark II?

[@kamranfarooqui7619]

Yeah, MLV workflow, since I require sound too. On the MAC OSX btw.

[@MitchLally]

+Kamran Farooqui it will work for sure.

[@kamranfarooqui7619]

Awesome mate. Thanks! Also, I noticed that your using MLVFS workflow on the mac. I tried that on my mac pro 3.1 using SSD - I get very sluggish playback under resolve? How do you workaround that?

[@MitchLally]

+Kamran Farooqui I don't have playback issues. Try turning off stripes correction and fix pattern noise removal. I'm actually using CR2HDR now so that I can set custom black and white levels. Setting the white level to 16383 gives better looking results with the dng sequence.

[@nitramzolef4009]

What about SOUND!? How you handle the sound? IT's recorded differently or you have enable raw-sound in your 5dIII? If it is enable where is it in your video because i have sound but it's laggy so maybe I have transcoded the DNG file wrong. I confuse with the sound please help. Thanks for the video very instructive.

[@MitchLally]

In the new 10/12/14 bit builds there is a module called mlv_snd (magic lantern sound) which enables you to record sound with the raw video - just simply enable the module in the modules section of magic lantern and if you choose a DNG converter that supports sound it will import with the clip itself in Davinci. Alternatively if you use the new "MLV APP" from the forum, it automatically imports sound and video directly from the .MLV file, now need to convert to DNG first. Magic Lantern are always improving and a lot has changed since I made this video!

[@bushanbengaluru9207]

Thank you for the quick work flow

[@0382isaac]

thx bro,you did a great work, i followed ur steps and everything went good.can i use the lut in final cut ?

[@MitchLally]

Thanks! Yeah as long as final cut have a place to load LUTs!

[@piotr803]

Great vid. Did you move on from 5D3ML to 1DX2 now?

[@MitchLally]

Yeah, but I also use the Fuji XH1 and XT2.

[@chen8604]

It's a great video n its helpful for me! btw may i know whats the memory card's brand n speed u used to shooting Raw video?

[@MitchLally]

Komputerbay 1066x 256GB

[@chen8604]

Thanks for ur reply!

[@gastonmeogaluako8115]

thanks bro..

[@vitaliemelnic5175]

shooting all the wedding RAW?

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

still relevant, at least for me! thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Excellent Tutorial!!

[@debrajayneeast2024]

that was really good.Well done.

[@DRAMAFLS_official]

Gh4 vs 5d iii raw....which one would you rather use?

[@MitchLally]

5D III Raw!

[@dslrcinemamovies3310]

GH5 Vs 5d mark 3 Raw? Which you prefer?

[@PeterFreitag]

GH5

[@fastcars3483]

Thank you soooo much!!!!!! you are amazing

[@JeanMarcGarin]

AWESOME VIDEO! Is there any way to export in RAW format from da vinci to premiere and then come back to Da Vinci for color correction e color grading? Thanks

[@MitchLally]

Yeah there is a way to do that! I'm just not sure of the specifics as to how - I saw someone make a video about it. You need to import the CDNG straight into premiere first then use an XML file to migrate to davinci.

[@JeanMarcGarin]

Thanks! I'm going to try!

[@FFdo.]

First you get the DNG files into Davinci, color grade and export the files as ProRes Proxy, then import those files in premiere, do the editing and go to File > Export > Final Cut XML. Go back to Davinci, import that XML and create a new timeline based on that, do further color grading when finished, export the files as full ProRes 444.

[@jamesaltonfilms]

How on earth do you use MLV 2.0? Nothing seems to be able to read it. MLVFS doesn't work, RAWMagic Lite doesn't work... nothing...

[@KyleBentoOnGoogle]

Weird. I just tried this for the first time using MLV 2.0 and it's working fine for me. I used Merlin's guide to get started with MLVFS on Mac.

[@jamesaltonfilms]

Turns out I had to reboot! Didn't think I would have to. My bad. Now if only it stopped dropping frames 20s in...

[@louiscariou7158]

Hey, very nice video, which LENS do you use please ??? :O

[@MitchLally]

I have around 8 different lenses..

[@louiscariou7158]

For example at 10:03 which lens do you use please ? Thank you for your answer :D

[@MitchLally]

Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro

[@louiscariou7158]

thank you very much :D

[@EpicTrailsandTales]

Is there a Windows version?

[@frankphadikapromotions662]

Impressed

[@giovannivittorioambrosini6621]

Will this lut work with the 5D mk4?

[@MitchLally]

No, its for RAW video converted to a log colour space.

[@giovannivittorioambrosini6621]

Mitch Lally and what about a 5d mk4 with magic lantern and a log loaded profile?

[@MitchLally]

There is no magic lantern build for 5D Mark 4

[@giovannivittorioambrosini6621]

Mitch Lally ok thanks anyway

[@DmitriySourine]

You can do up to 67 fps whith in the ML by the way)

[@vomitory7280]

How? in 480 px?

[@RTI_MD]

10bit raw

[@JoshuaEiffel]

At what resolution?

[@aaronjonellhall1937]

Outstanding tutorial. Please make more.
