Perfect! I feel like I'm transitioning from convenience to quality (moving from the Fuji X-Pro2 to the EOS M), but the learning curve is really steep. I'm surprised by how many UA-cam videos there are on the EOS M and Magic Lantern, yet none of them provide complete information. They’re either very basic tutorials or contain vague comments like 'I don’t know why, but this works' or providing instruction but only for certain build WITHOUT MENTIONING THAT THERE ARE OTHER BULDS.... It’s been frustrating and confusing. Even Zeek, who everyone praises (deservedly so), hasn't posted a video in years. Now I'm torn between sticking with the EOS M and trying to push through, or taking a break. I have so many questions, but finding answers is difficult. For example, there’s no comprehensive tutorial on MLV App-just fragmented workflows or discussions about focus pixels, without actually explaining what they are. It feels like there's this general conspiracy of ‘we know everything but will only give you glimpses here and there’ about the EOS M, Magic Lantern, and MLV. I keep experimenting, but it's tough. How do you get 50fps? Why is Magic Lantern so unstable? Why do I get magic zoom on one preset but not another? What’s the 'debayer' option in MLV export? Why am I experiencing rolling shutter so often? Is 4444 good enough export if I only know CapCut or I need to learn Resolve...etc. It’s a constant struggle-one minute I feel like throwing my EOS M out the window, and the next I want to pick it up and try again!
yes, I had a phase of 2 years wondering to trash the thing or see it through. Zeek is mostly about showing off different lenses. I ended up getting some big gigs and I 'had' to make it work (living in a remote location). I am actually working on a course now (just uploaded the 1st 5 modules). Turns out it's really not easy to explain this stuff in a simple way. Also there's not much money in this compared to commercial cams which those UA-camrs covering them can earn good commissions. I hope I got the whole course ready soon. I go through all the quirks there, again easy once u know it but, not very straight forward.
@@EOSMMagicLanternMastery Thanks! I fully understand... ML is like lottery, I mark one option and it does not work, then I restart and suddenly it does etc. When do you plan to have the whole course ready?
@@starling1360 should have been ready by now, moving to Germany slowed me down. 70% is recorded and mostly edited. You can find it on the channel main page as a link. It goes through everything from what each mode does and when and when not to use and to actually filming an entire project and how to set each scene up as well as how to avoid the quirks.
I had to match them before a few times and it's almost impossible, for B Cam or Timelapse, especially in documentary run and gun shooting when you can't control the light and the Sony (or regular canon) burn's in its interpretation. If you have a nice studio with calibrated lights the differences become less.
Life, You put a lot of effort into the appearance of the clip, and at the end of the way on YT it deletes gentle transitions through banding when the image is not contrasting. But the x265 file on the disk has no problems. While searching guides, I found that Apple ProRres LT improves something. In practice, it doesn't change much, apart from the huge file size and sending time :F
Using high-quality footage gives you the flexibility to adjust the look and mood of your clips more precisely before the final compression, (subtle to extreme) which isn’t possible if you start with already compressed footage. This means you can achieve better results overall despite UA-cam’s compression. If you are happy with how it looks straight from the camera, then it's not needed. by the way, I found that H264 looks MUCH BETTER than H265 for UA-cam delivery. Again makes sense because it has twice the data
A Ferrari is useless on a dirt road. Even uncomfortable on the highway. Depending on the situation, and desired result, the same could be said about compressed footage, where one can and up having spend more time to fix color shifts, say when raising shadows. 95% of video work doesn't need this. My friend uses iPhone and some Canva AI editor and I'm impressed with what it can do, when the goal is to pump out high volumes of Reels quickly. Have u considered either a "non Raw" policy (if u really hate it) or a PITA Fee, simply charging more?
@@EOSMMagicLanternMastery You can't make no money as a video editor. It's like trying to make money writing or speaking. Theoretically, possible, if you're a Lewis Carroll or Adolph H!
@@choppergirl I’ve never followed the usual playbook. With traditional jobs fading, having extra skills in communication and trend-spotting can make you stand out. For example, I create budget-friendly documentaries that undercut pricey filmmakers, keeping my costs low and opening doors for upsells. Just like a Rolex is only screws and glass but commands a high price when combined, blending your editing skills with other talents can significantly boost your value. So, take a look at your skill set-you might have more to offer than you think.
This channel deserves to blow up. Brilliant presentation!
thanx
The production value is top notch bro. Good stuff.
Thanx
Nicely put together and a great concise description for those that are new to the concept of RAW! 👏🏾👍🏾 🙏🏾 🏴🇸🇪🇹🇹
Appreciate it!
Impressive narration skills!
Thank you kindly!

I don't know much of ML, but I see every kind of video just to get more knowledge about.
good
what a masterpiece
top video!!!!
gracias

Great video!!😂
Thanks 😅

@@EOSMMagicLanternMastery Thank you, I will check the larger H264 with the next file saving :)
I'm your video editor. Stop sending me RAW footage.
It's a PITA to work with.
