Hi all, I am trying to download the Technicolor cinestyle profile for my 7D.
This is the link I am using here- http://www.technicolor.com/en/solutions-services/cinestyle
I don't seem to get the right link though.
When I click on download canon profile, it takes me to a page to fill out my details.
I then receive an email with a link.
When I click on the link I get this;

Is anybody able to help me out here please?
I would just install ML RAW but it appears it doesn't record 1920x1080 at 25p yet.
 
First, the good news. I tested that Magic lantern can do 25 fps on the 7D.
Using Tragic Lantern to update your ML installation, it will give you FPS override controls.
So using canon menu to set 30FPS, in ML menu set FPS override to 25 FPS.

The not so good news is that 7D will not be able to ever record 1920x 1080 in 1x.
at 1X normal mode max is 1728x972 at 16:9. which is very good to my eye on a 1920x1080 timeline.

In 3X crop mode you can do 1920x1080 16:9 for approx 20 seconds.
at 1920 x 960 2:1 you have continuous raw recording with sound.

With raw you dont have much use for a cinestyle pic style just use neutral with contrast all the way down to give you a sort of a flattish LUT on your LV screen.
 
Thanks Ted, appreciate the feedback. I have now downloaded the Marvels Profile & will try that for now.
I would still like to try the Technicolor Cinestyle if possible.
 
Personally, I'd stay away from Technicolor. I used it when it was released, but I don't like what it does to skin. There's better styles out there now. My current favorites are the offering from VisionColor. Check them out.
 
Thanks everyone, I have now installed cinestyle.
EL, I will check out VisionColor too.
Cheers Pete.
 
The Visioncolor site is down until June. Does anyone know of another place where they can be downloaded?
What other styles are there out there?

VisionColor styles are paid (but cheap) so I can't give you mine, but they're well worth the wait. And if you get their LUT pack too, you're in good hands :)
 
I used Flaat for a while, but I found it was introducing micro artifacts of a bright green color into my footage when used in conjunction with Colorista.
 
After using these Canon DSLRs for years and experimenting with picture styles, I found that the absolute best way to go is the "faithfull" picturestyle, with Sharpness -5, Contrast -5, Saturation -2, Color tone at 0.

It really is the best picture style in terms of dynamic range (Cinestyle doesn't give any more DR), and colors are a bit undersaturated and warm, sharpness at a minimum. The neutral ps is very similar but it has a visible green tint unlike the warm faithfull ps. Flaat has the same green cast. Faithfull is lovely and warm for skin tones. A typical Canon look.

-It looks wonderful right out of the card, and flat yet doesn't require much grading
-Doesn't require a download, so when using other Canon cameras than yours, you can match them.

Try it if you have a Canon DSLR!
