RedDeerCityTV's video: Magic Lantern Raw to ProRes4444 XQ - Cowboy Poet Ken Hunley

On July 6th I filmed Mr. Ken Hunley , local poet of Red Deer for a legacy video for his family members.I filmed Mr. Hunley with my 5D Mark II , EF 24-70 f2.8L (set to f9.1) ND fader stop down 20%, ISO 100 . Magic Lantern 14bit Raw Video MLV v2.0 , Feb16th NB build @ 1856x928 , 23.976p + audio. This was my first full project with the New Apple ProRes 4444 XQ codec & the Final Cut Pro X 10.1.2 . I find the New Codec very nice to work with , and at 16bit Liner with Alpha it retains all of the information . I'm seeing bitrates of about 425 Mb/s where as with just ProRes4444 codec it would max out about 260MB/s at 23.976 fps. Where I notice the greatest gains where in the high-lights & low-lights NO Clipping since with the XQ is Liner and the 4444 is in Rec709. Plus there was a big performance increase with XQ in FCPX no need to go to proxies on a single stream with heavy grade. I used Adobe After Effects cc to make my Video file from Cdng's , As there is nothing Better then the ACR plugin for Magic Lantern Raw/Cdng's . But the New Apple Codec is not available for Adobe as it is only had though Final Cut Pro X , Motion & Compressor. So I have to Hack FCPX and copy the codec in to my QT folder so Adobe Programs could see it and encode with it. That's the only way at the moment I know of . So I basically pregraded the files in A.E. "Cook the Look" then edited in FCPX . In my opinion you can archive you magic lantern raw file to ProRes 4444 XQ for storage , and save on hard drive space if needed it's that Good ! And of course you can just convert to the liner 16bit color space though Apple Compressor or Motion with out pregrade .
