Canon EOS 5D Mark III Raw Video-Processed in Lightroom 5 Beta

[btnphotography]

Just a bunch of test footage that I shot to try out Magic Lantern's 5D Mark III Raw Output hack. Only was able to shoot a few seconds of video at a time before having frame drops because I don't own a fast enough CF card currently. All RAW files processed in Adobe Lightroom 5 Beta, video footage put together in Sony Vegas Pro 10.

Lenses used: Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM.

nice. would mind to share the process you used in lightroom? Did you use lightroom for the color grading as well?

No not at all. All I did was white balance, increase contrast, raised the blacks and shadows, lower the highlights.. nothing too fancy. Trying to get the high dynamic range look. Thanks for watching.

Nice!
according to you, is the quality far better from a normal Canon 5D Mark III video file?
and in LR5 you were able to process the RAW Video file, right, no conversion?

Thank you for yours answers!

You can really pull a lot of details from the shadows from the shadows and blacks with the RAW video files. To edit the files in LR5, I used a RAW to DNG converter (found here: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=5404.0), imported the DNG files into LR5, batched processed all the frames, and then exported them all to JPEG. I used Sony Vegas Pro 10 to playback all the frames at 24FPS.

How do you export the files out of lightroom at the same dimensions/aspect ratio as the original DNGs?  It keeps giving me a portrait style export- i'm thinking it's the last export setting I used last month
Loving the RAW!

Why did you use LR instead of Photoshop Camera Raw? Is there any advantage?

Just personal preference. I'm a lot more familiar with Lightroom.
