Unlock the EOS M: Installing Magic Lantern Crop Mood for Beginners

[@AltCine]

Nice one Belal 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@gurungbros7461]

Hi Belal, I still can't figure out why I can't get my camera to record. It says the camera has stopped recording automatically flushing buffers. The only solution I have gather is format the SD card which didn't work and the second being buy a faster SD card. Mine is 200 MB/S so I don't think that is the problem. Can you help me?

[@khanceptbelal]

@@gurungbros7461 what are the settings with which you're recording at in terms of resolution and crop setting?

[@khanceptbelal]

@@gurungbros7461 have you also taken a look at the follow-up to this kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4CTp5R6f9-WjbMsi=q2q2wfrPphadKkio

Great tutorial! Is that mount from Altcine, or did you mod your EOSM?

[@khanceptbelal]

From AltCine

[@tuppb]

@@khanceptbelal Thanks! I didn't know that the mounts were already for sale! By the way, would love to know more about that modded EOSM handle!

[@khanceptbelal]

It's not available for sale yet. I got one as a beta test to work out final kinks and issues.

[@khanceptbelal]

The handle grip that I'm using is some third party. One that I got from AliExpress I think. Just look for EOSM grip. The modification I did was to shave off the front arca Swiss portion to allow for room when attaching a focal reducer. Then I applied some hot glue in a random pattern, make it less slippery and more sticky and gripping it. Also hot glued to the top a cold shoe just so that I have some place to put my thumb.

Hey does this work on Eos m2 as well ?

[@khanceptbelal]

@@philnice5100 I believe the M2 has a different magic lantern firmware, whereas crop mood to my knowledge is specific to the EOS. M. And the comparable rebel cameras. However, I believe there might be a future update for the M2. More on that here www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26851.0

I always come back to this video, how would u integrate magic lantern in your work flow today? just for fun or could it be used for pro work

[@khanceptbelal]

@@LouisLuzuka I use it for pro work from time to time. But, it really comes down to the scope of the project. When I was exclusively doing seminars on sony XD Cams (1-inch sensor video cameras) and I wanted to branch out into different types of media projects I'd almost exclusively use magic lantern. This is 2019. I then started building out my Lumix kit. The issue of using Magic lanterns isn't so much about whether it's pro or not. It definitely is a professional workflow. But it becomes a decision around turnaround time. Raw video workflow is certainly a longer turnaround time than shooting straight 8-bit or 10-bit video. I do bring on Magic Lantern as an additional camera from time to time on my professional projects, especially in the context where I need more control than a standard camera can offer.

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@khanceptbelal interesting perspective, so how it fits in the work flow is that you would rather have a different way of process, it’s almost like film 🎞️ it forces you to slow down in film photography but if you need a quick turn around it’s better to have an sd card or send it to your iPhone or iPad to do a quick edit for like instagram or client work, vs if you really want that look and you’re in no rush then you can get a film developed whenever, but yeah aside from the storage space holding me back I think I can manage a clip or two here and there to test it out, just to make it more intentional and I’ll save the longer recording for interviews and stuff, I’m really looking into the sony for that kind of work flow but for now I’m having fun with them eos m

HI. I`m panicking as I upgraded the firmware on my EOS M to 2.03 before I tried to install ML. I`ve tried everything and think I only have a ML download for firmware version 202. I can downgrade to this firmware version so do you know what I can do?

[@khanceptbelal]

@@thekarmafarmer608 are you asking how to downgrade the firmware from 203 to 202?

[@thekarmafarmer608]

@@khanceptbelal HI. Thanks for responding. I can`t find a way to install ML with version 2.03. I`m told I need version 2.02. I`m also told if I can find a way to backdate my firmware to 2.02, it may be very bad for the cameras functions. I feel so stupid for updating the firmware before I tried ML installation. If I can safely downgrade my firmware to 2.02 in order to install ML then I ill. I can`t find a safe way to do this though.

Let me know if this is helpful wiki.magiclantern.fm/glossary#firmware_update_upgrade_downgrade

I am new to Magic Lantern, Thank for tutorial. I have install it but in 5.2k I can not record more than 3 second. my sd card is sands extreme pro 64 G. how to make it recording longer than 3 second . Thank you

[@khanceptbelal]

It seems you are running into a buffer limit. Are you running it to the same situation at other resolutions? What is your current preset, aspect ratio, bit depth, and frame rate set to? To if you haven't already, consider the follow or video I did with relation to navigating the menu in certain settings if you want to consider kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4CTp5R6f9-WjbM

[@peacemind007]

@ thank you. I try In another 4.5k sometime it can record 15 sec. I will learn more in you video . Thank you for making video tutorial 👍👍👍😍
