T2i Magic Lantern for 550D in progress!

Yes, it displays luma only. Next build will have a smoother waveform (and some more focus tools).

For file numbering, you can use "File Numbering -> Manual Reset" from Canon menu, Wrench 1.

that one only allows me to reset, so that the next number is 0001

I've been playing with it a bit, and it has some nasty issues... which I think I can play to my advantage

if e.g. 0003 already exists in the card and I reset the numbering, it creates a new folder (100CANON, 101CANON, 102CANON, etc) and starts there from 0001 (on the camera, it appears as 100-0001, 101-0001, 102-0001, etc)

using this, I can save all the takes for each shot in a folder, then create a new folder for the next shot hitting reset, and just keep track of which shot is on each folder

the problem is that the files inside each folder have exactly the same names, and that will create confusion (on my head for sure, and maybe also on some edit programs)

the solution is to use an easy file renamer that would allow me to replace those "MVI_" for "scene1A_", folder by folder

or, even better, I could write a little program that does this at the same time as it copies the files to the PC... I think I'll try to do this with an excel macro first, then try to make it into a real program if anybody else is interested

1.85:1 crop marks

1.85:1 crop marks

Figured this was as good a place as any to post these crop marks.

I created some 1.85:1 crop marks that I personally wanted, and also thought may be helpful to others that don't have them.

If there are problems with them, or if you think of improvements feel free to do them yourself or contact me.

Credit goes to the creator of the cinesco2, as I used that as a base configuration.View attachment cine185cropmarks_tfenno.zip

BTW, thank you very much alex for all your hard work!!

There is a crop mark repository http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/Cropmarks and in the vimeo group
 
Hm, seeing as how the T3i seemingly has a 1080P crop mode (?) I wonder if there'd be any way to incorperate that into the ML hack....I'm not sure about anyone else, but I've used the current crop mode and I personally think it can be very useful.
 
Why is focus peaking just working in full-view? It doesn't make much sense there. Could you guys integrate it into 10x magnification?
 
If I use the usual view (full view), I see focus peaking. But not in 10x? I will try your build tomorrow, if this has changed. Since 18th of January.
 
as alex said, there's no focus peaking on 10x, because you shouldn't need it, and it would add very little
 
Alex, Does that mean that that the new build now offers full use of the HDMI out for monitoring except when audio monitoring is toggled on?

Also has there been any improvement in the use of Zebras and generally cleaner HDMI out monitoring ( cleaner meaning fewer extraneous artifacts.)

here you have it: a nice tool for copying the stuff from your SD card to your PC
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthrea...F-card-to-your-computer&p=2245553#post2245553

* it makes up to 5 copies, on different locations (e.g. on an internal drive and several external backup drives)
* it renames the files so that they make a bit more sense; very useful for a shot>takes structured workflow
* it checks that everything was copied ok, and copies it again if it finds any binary errors (I was very surprised to see how often this was happening to me)
 
so im installing magic lantern for the first time and i have a question.

on this page http://groups.google.com/group/ml-d...f0acb10b16e?show_docid=f4c25f0acb10b16e&pli=1
the two files on this page i assume i should download are:
2011Feb07.550d.fw109.NoAudioMon.lotsofstuff.alex.zip
2011Feb07.550d.fw109.AudioMon.lotsofstuff.alex.zip

im wondering which one to download. what would be the differences between the two files? i know one says AudioMon and the other says NoAudioMon. im sorry for such a dumb question.

as Kastro said, one you can montor audio via the AV jack, one you cannot. If you're using an external monitor, get the NoAudioMon build. I think that's really the only benefit to the NoAudio.
