My Magic Lantern RAW Video Workflow // Canon EOS M [2020]

[@boriscruse4067]

Hey Zeek Thanks for the massive amounts of support given. This may or may not interest you but after much heartache I finally managed to film 5kftrp on the EOSM without any glitches. I also exported the 10-bit footage from Da Vinci onto SSD and imported into LumaFusion. The new LumaFusion update supports 10-bit. Bit long winded but it runs really well. Still not sure this is the best route for budding filmmakers but bloody hell it feels good when things go right.

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Congrats 👏 It takes time to find the workflow you're most comfortable with, but once you get it, it's a great feeling. Glad to hear no glitching going on 😎👍

[@vickosis]

Hey Zeek, thanks for sharing your workflow in another great video :) About your Davinci Resolve (DR) workflow, you mention you export it ready for Final Cut (FC) and this confuses me a little. I don't get where FC comes into it. If you do all your grading in DR why do you even need to export into FC? Do you do any final tweaks in FC or have I missed something?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

No problem. FCPX is my bread and butter, I'm so used to it and I much prefer to order my clips, adjust audio etc. in FCPX. If you are a native DR user then of course just stick to that 👍

[@vickosis]

Thanks for clarifying :) I'm just starting out on my video journey and given the basic version of Resolve is Free for beginners like myself I'm probably going to go with that for a while before deciding if I want to upgrade to their full paid version or look at FCPX.

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Hey Zeek, I don't know if you know how to connect the EOS M as a webcam or somehow with OBS? I looked everywhere on this info and can't find anything. I can connect it to an Elgato, but there is no signal showing. Maybe you know something on this or potentially for a future video since EOS M doesn't support webcam through EOS utility.

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Never tried it. Could possibly work with the Camera App "USB Camera PRO" for Android - Paid Version, I believe it has support for Webcam use, although I've never tried it. I did a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHTHdY1um72nn9U

I know it can never be perfect, but I'm having trouble with exports in QT4444 looking quite different than the colors I see in Resolve edit window - desaturated, etc, on my Mac. When I export to AVI, and open in VLC, they look the same as Resolve. I've seen some very complicated commentary on this... but is this just something you live with, and adjust for (ie. increasing saturation knowing the result will be flatter), or do you have a way to make your export look about the same as what is shown in Resolve?

hi, in some cases after recording in MLV the files show ZERO KB. How can I restore the correct size? Thanks for your advice.

[@IonutAlexandruApolozan]

Thank you for a great walkthrough, Zeek. Have you tried using a ColorChecker with the RAW footage at record time (waveform levels, vectorscope, gamma adjustment) and avoid the exposure compensation in post? I've ordered the EOS M and can't wait to test the RAW workflow (I'm coming from a Nikon H.264 workflow, it should be a huge lfit.) In addition, that should in theory also streamline the post-processing color grading for the color baseline using the ColorMatch and WB functions. Thanks again for the great content. I look forward to more of your videos!

[@ZeekEOSZ]

No problem! I have used the colorchecker, but now I just do it manually by eye and also pay attention to the waveform, histogram etc when grading. Post work is very flexible with DNG.

[@FractalWorkshop]

Hi Zeek. I’m still stumbling my way through magic lantern workflow. I’m following this video and everything works good until it comes to dragging the dng folder for my clip into resolve timeline. Instead of a single video for each dng as in your video, it is loading each individual frame on the left side and creating a timeline from them. That would be fine, however in the timeline, each frame lasts around 6 seconds, instead of 1/24 of a second. There must be a setting I’m missing or something. Also, I’m recording in 5k anamorphic, 16:9, 12bit, my footage is also squashed horizontally. Can’t seem to find the setting for that in resolve either. Any help would be great! Thanks much

[@ZeekEOSZ]

This video shows you how to stretch out 5K FRTP Anamorphic footage in Resolve: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3urnnl4o9J5ask I haven't experienced what you've experienced. Could be a windows issue with MLV App, not quite sure there. Maybe check your cut in and cut out frames in MLV App.

[@musicfactorykoln1576]

Great video, I subbed. Can I ask why you stopped using the Alexa Log profile in MLV App and just export the raw like that now?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

I record much more clips these days, DNG Export is just super quick. I like grading in davinci too. But sometimes I still use MLV App & prores, just whatever gets you the look you're after. :)

[@Voltisvoltis]

@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you for the reply Zeek and all the content you teach us noobs with. I have a question, quality-wise, what is the exact difference to editing the RAW in Davinci vs using the Alexa log? Am I getting a better quality using RAW DNG or is it a question of getting a certain look, like can I I get the alexa log look with the RAW DNGs? I hope that's not too confusing to read, I'm still wrapping my head around video editing. Thank you once again.

[@ZeekEOSZ]

@@Voltisvoltis Well DNG is RAW Data that needs to be encoded to, e.g. S-Log /Alexa LOG,/ Canon LOG, Rec 709 etc... Exporting as DNG in MLV App is a quick export, and then you can get started in another editor like Davinci or Premiere. If you encode MLV Raw to Alexa LOG C in MLV app, export can take long. Both ways are good, it's just that DNG will be quicker. But if your clips are short MLV App is still fine, I love it.

[@Voltisvoltis]

@@ZeekEOSZ Ahhhh I see, I think I get it, thank you! So rather than doing the RAW processing, it's about doing the RAW in Davinci, and one later encodes it. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Would there be any reason to turn the raw footage to say Alexa LOG to get a certain look in Davinci or is there no need to do that?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

@@Voltisvoltis Honestly, with Davinci it's a matter of playing around and seeing what look you like. I reckon the workflow shown in the video is top notch. I still use it. Sure you can do Alexa LOG, but it depends after doing it if that's the look you're after.

hey zeek, can you help me out? for some reason whenever i export from mlv the color settings i played around with don't get exported with it? have you ever experienced this issue?

[@imothy]

Thanks Zeek, I'm a EOS-M trooper. But hey, i'm getting stuck with focus pixels. I understand how to remove them, but isn't that processing, though minial, still re encoding the entire clip...? therefore losing a generation of quality? Is there another workflow that would be more beneficial when removing them, like after export and in resolve or PP? Am I correct when thinking that any encoding of a video, weather its removing dots, adding text, or even doing nothing, is degrading the video a generation? I mean, whats the point of recording RAW when you can't use the first generation quality because you had to re-encode just to get rid of an anomaly like focus dots? Help me out here, maybe i'm just thinking too hard?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

You're thinking too hard haha 😆 Don't use 3x3 chroma smooth in MLV app. Get rid of focus dots with these focus pixel maps. Download the zip file. Copy and paste the resolution map files into the MLV App interface. Pixel Maps: bitbucket.org/Dannephoto/mlv_app_compiler-git/downloads/focus_pixel_maps.zip Exporting as Raw DNG is good too if you work in Davinci Resolve, no quality loss.

It is raw so you can move the colour any way you want in post. I don't have a Color checker.

DNG will have the raw flexibility, unfortunately not ProRes, but you can still adjudt white balance, hue, and so on with ProRes, it will have less flexibility.

I set my aperture to f2.8 iso 200 (even at iso 400) and noticed that my shots where somewhat grainy when opened in the mlv app am I doing something wrong? Should i always shoot in 100 ? How do you go about shooting in interior light areas. Thanks agai

[@ForgottenTasmania]

Thanks for championing ML raw. Results are really good. I’m not good at the obvious, so how do I get ML on EOS M to record 1920x1080 raw? The preset is great but won’t allow me to change the crop?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

To record 1920x1080, a crop is achieved as the max with 1.6x crop it can achieve is 1736x976 16:9. The 1920x1080 preset would work great with wide angle lenses. Another great mode is the 5K FRTP, it's not true 5K, it's pretty much like an upscale, but the quality is definitely as good as FHD. I'll make a video next of all the settings. :)

I realized the best way to upload such files in Cinema DNG Uncompressed format But everyone on KZbin shows their way different. Some make a preset for some reason on Arrie Alexa, then unload to Davinci and there put Camera Raw - Clip... But not everyone uses Color Space Transform node. Please advise me how to work best with a RAW file with the Canon M. Should I just not touch anything in MLV app unload as Cinema DNG Uncompressed and then in Davinci only apply Camera Raw? Then what about Node - Color Space Transform? In this case, it's no longer Log video and it's not needed, right? Or we need to use Node - Color Space Transform? There is Color Space in project settings itself - is it the same node or something else? I'm sorry if it's a bit rambling... my question is probably too complicated for a full-blown video lesson))) If you are export in Cinema DNG - why are you using Log presets??

Great to hear! I mainly use the DNG Workflow for 2.5/2.8k & x3 Crop Mode, for 5K Anamorphic Mode, in Davinci you need to stretch those clips horizontally to get them back to a 16:9 state. In the timeline, "retime and scaling" - set scaling to "stretch".

hello Zeek I hope you are well, I have some doubts, I am in a learning period, I have been recording some clips at 2.8k and when I open them in MLV if I enlarge the image I see small red and blue streaks all over the image, why is it? And I would like to know how much you scale the 2.5k and the 2.8k when you import them as dng or prores. I hope you can clarify my doubts! greetings from Spain !

@Zeek. Hi! do you think it is possible to achieve in Davinci Resolve that the Color Space Blackmagic Design and Gamma Blackmagic Design Film is be exactly the same with Magic Lantern Cinema DNG like Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera? i export from mlv app (cinema dng uncomoressed) and when i start grading in davinci i switch color space and gamma in camera raw (to bdm film) but when i compare to original blackmagic pocket bdm film with eos m bdm film is not same. Eos m bdm film is more “yellow” with the total same shot and same setup

[@ZeekEOSZ]

I use Blackmagic. To match I don't switch to BMD I just leave the settings as is and just drop all the files in. I can match easily.

[@untukdummy8695]

dear zeek, why i only can choose presets 1080p and 5k anamorphic? the other presets give a pink screen, and error evertime i hit record

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Use Dannes latest build in the description link. Otherwise my settings go through how to set them up. There are custom modes e.g. cm1, CM2, just setup each one to your preference. Changing presets is found in Tab 3, I prefer 5K Anamorphic FRTP & High Resolution Modes. If you're using a monitor, you will most likely encounter pink frames, otherwise, make sure four fps is not at 30fps but 24/25 fps.

[@untukdummy8695]

@@ZeekEOSZ i already applied it,btw there is a new build today. i also tried that one. i already followed all your setting, still no luck. each time i choose presets other than 5k anamorphic or 1080p, the screen goes like that, and it gives me error when hit record. all the same for 2,5k , 3k, 4k, except 5k anamorphic and 1080p. i always use 24fps and btw i dont use monitor

@@ZeekEOSZThank you, and one more question. How to remove focus dots on video if you choice is MOV video mode in camera (RAW is switch off) ?

[@8bit239]

Hello Zeek. I have two questions. Number one: do I always have to take framerate override 24,000 when exporting DNG in MLV app ? Number two: when DNG with 24 FPS setting, how do you export the audio file afterwards or would you leave out "framerate override" in this case?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Don't use fps override if you need audio, otherwise it's fine to use or not use it.

[@beloved3244]

Hi Zeek! thank you for another great tutorial. im hoping you can help my understanding as I am a month old in all of this. The whole point to buying these camera is the RAW capabilities. Unless Im wrong to my understanding once you export to a Pro Res format its all baked in then, meaning we dont have that RAW editing media available after we inport it to FCPX. Im just trying to understand all this but isnt that the point? if I Export from MLV to proRes4444 and all the Raw 12-14bit info isn't available for color grading then im wasting my time I feel. If there a way to edit actual RAW footage in FCPX? or Priemer Pro?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

You can export RAW DNG to grade in Premiere or DaVinci Resolve and get those flexible capabilities. ProRes 4444 is 12 Bit, so it still has good flexibility in post.

[@Thyronix]

It's actually only 10 bit because mlv app uses FFmeg

[@12aipom34]

Thank you for the video Zeek, I just got an EOS M and this helps massively! I do however have a problem, when I input the folder created by MLV into Davinci, it is imported as all of the individual frames rather than a video; this means that any editing done only applies to individual frames of the whole project. Do you have any clue why this happens, and/or how to remedy this? Thanks again :)

[@chrisfpv7365]

I ran into this and the key is you have to be on the Edit page and drag the folder onto the timeline. If you are on Cut or Media, you'll get just a huge list of images. Hope this helps.

[@st.michaelthearchangel7774]

I exported a video (about two minutes long) as Cinema DNG from the MLV App, then imported it into Davinci, and every frame is five seconds long, totaling to about five hours long! Any idea what in the world is going on there? Lolz. Thank you.

Check MLV App Frames on the top right panel with the red X and reset them and see the total frames maybe. Never experienced this before.

Hi Zeek, so much intersting topics in your channel! it detailed every step to use EOS M with ML! Have you tried to export H.264 file with Davinci ? I compared result with MLV APP directly output H.264 file. The bit rate of Davinci's output is much lower than MLV.APP's :( For Davinci i am using Davinci 16 free vesion, and my current workflow is MLV.APP->ProRes 422 =>Davinci (after color grading) -> H.264 mp4 file , then the biggest bit rate(around 36000kbps) with this way is only half of MLV APP directly output (around 72000kbps) .

[@ZeekEOSZ]

I still prefer DaVinci Resolve. Dynamic range seems more retained. I export so many big files these days, and am now more fluent with the Davinci Resolve Workflow. I think it's really good. For shirt clips, MLV App is fine, or if you prefer to leave the PC/Mac running overnight to load all the clips.

you edit cinema dng raw but you use color space rec 709 for better qualty and better dynamic range you can use color space BMD COLOR SPACE and also you set aspec ration for 4k 2.35 for render but you render 16.9 but your video 2.35 that make more data black place more data you can set resulation 3840x1665 l think like that for 2.35 aspec ration

[@ZeekEOSZ]

You can use any Color space you prefer, this is the way I do it, there is enough dynamic range in the scene. I can't add anymore. I've tested other gammas, and it's always good to play around and see what works for you. Sometimes I have a mix of 2.35 & 16:9 clips on the same timeline. I prefer a 16:9 Export for this. The files have already been exported to their respective aspect ratios from MLV App.
