I filmed this very short test on my 5D3 + ML Raw.
I don't like ALL-I images from this camera.
Uncompressed HDMI output is better, but far from what I'd like to see.
ML is terrific, it turns the MK III in a very new fantastic camera.
A new game changer? I hope so.
Thanks ML guys.
Please support Magic Lantern magiclantern.fm/

Thanks for watching.

Seeing some strobing/cadence issues at around :06 and throughout the piece. I love where ML is going with raw, but they have to get this sorted out.

 

[Filippo Chiesa]

Yep, but It's only the beginning ;-)

Weirdness, not getting anything like that here. What days build is that?

Was that crop in your editing for 1920x720? I like that wide look. You had great locations for your test.

Agreed. That's much more pronounced than on any other footage I've seen.

Thanks for your comments.
I cropped the video in camera.
The location is just in front of my office in Parma (Italy).
I used the build linked from Cinema 5D http://www.cinema5d.com/news/?p=17898

Ahh ok, you're running the raw-rec module from the 12 of May, that one is broken. I'm running the 13th, no major issues. Todays build sounds even better.

 

[Filippo Chiesa]

I will try the new one.

Thanks!

Nice test.

Looks overprocessed to me and unnatural in many shots. But the sharpness and detail is there. If I think in the way of how I develop stills from my 5D3 it's just so vastly different.

Cropped the video in camera - is that something that ML has setup?

 

[Filippo Chiesa]

Yes sir!

 

[New_Zealand]

Thanks - do you find any issues using that crop?

 

[Filippo Chiesa]

No issues.

Filippo, thanks for posting. I have question. As a test of the RAW editing capabilities, could you grade this clip with the shadows lifted quite a bit more? Like the scenes in the park where the blue sky is prominent, I would like to see if the shadow information is there for less black crushing around the trees. Just a thought, thanks.

The dng files are 14 bit Raw.
For sure you can lift the the shadows like in a still photographic frame.

Thanks for your reply. Good to know. If it is not too much trouble, would you re-grade your clip or just a part to be able to see how much the shadows could be lifted? I think a lot of us are wondering just how much the RAW update gives you visually in terms of freedom in post. No worries if you do not have the time or interest! Thanks.

I really don't have time to do this, but if you know the photographic RAW of the 5D3, it's pratically the same.
