dreamplayhouse Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I was about to purchase a used 7D and start using this instead of my 100d/SL1 for ML RAW until I ran into the following issues... When shooting ML RAW with a 7D I can see the crop marks for the cinescope (2:35.1) view but as soon as I start recording, they disappear so I can't tell where the cut off is to have the black bars top and bottom. I checked all the settings compared to my 100d/SL1 and they seem all the same. Second issue, when I convert my SL1 files to DNG's, I can drag the first DNG onto the Adobe Premiere timeline and it automatically creates a full video clip, although I get the red focus dots :(. If I do the same with the 7d dngs, it just imports the first dng. I tried them all at once and it imports them all separately in to the project window in Premiere. Not sure why this is happening as it's just a dng just like when using my 100d/SL1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the way you should react to people not helping within 24 hours. Just my point of view :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my point of view :o Hi Justin, not sure what you meant by updating my workflow. I assume you mean on the 7d? I'm doing the same thing as on my SL1 so not sure what I'm doing wrong. If there is anyway I can get rid of those red focus dots on my SL1, I'd probably not think about purchasing the 7d.

Justin Bacle Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 You have to update MLVFS to the latest version for it to be able to remove the pink dots I'm using an old version myself on windows since I only use my 50D. But you have to upgrade if you want to use newer models.

Justin Bacle Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 That's weird as the pink dot issue has been resolved since April 2016 in MLVFS :s You should have better luck on magic lantern's forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamplayhouse Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 I don't think it's resolved on the SL1 as that's beta ML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Andrew did an entire write up of ML Raw on the SL1. I believe he goes over his workflow in it... or in the comments... http://www.eoshd.com/2017/06/enabling-10bit-raw-video-mini-canon-100d/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamplayhouse Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 No real info about red pixels. Maybe the build from that thread will work better? I might try that one on another SD card see if I still get the pixels. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweak Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Use 7D. Sometimes overlays don't display, it's just random for me, I've got used to framing squished anamorphic without proper guides, you should be able to get used to framing cinemascope. I don't have any other tips, besides using tape maybe, or clear contact with a line drawn on it in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 When you shoot 2:35, you don't need overlays for framing, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
