I've heard about two softwares I've been trying to research for an hour now with no luck!

One software (I thought it was called trickster or trixter or something like that) takes your normal 60 or 24 or 30 frames per second and produces a "fake" 1000 frame per second video for super slow motion stuff.

Another software I heard about a while ago was a software for the 5D that converts the video files to RAW video!!!

These two softwares sound incredible and I would love to know what they are and if anyone has heard about them, or used them!!!

If there are any other cool softwares that do these sort of things for my camera I would love to know about them as well.

Thanks in advance!

the first one is actually called "Twixtor". The second one I have never heard about but sounds awesome.
 
The slow mo software your referring to is called Twixtor.

With regards to RAW software I think your on about the Magic Lantern hack which basically bypasses the h.264 encoding in camera to produce uncompressed 14 bit RAW video.

If you've not shot or worked with RAW before, do your research.You'll need a UDMA 7 compact flash to capture the RAW footage and a lot of them. 4GB translates to about 55 seconds.

Here's a link to a RAW post-production workflow - http://www.cinema5d.com/?p=18065

Hope this helps.

I use twixtor for some shots, its a good tool have in the arsenal.

Raw video is crazy! The only thing I am not sure of is the Magic Lantern will void the warranty of your camera since it is a firmware update. Twixtor is a plug in for video editing programs.
 
Because it's more!!!

Exactly! :lol: definitely looking into Trixtor and this Magic Lantern Plug in.

If your worried about downloading and your warranty this guy wrote to the cam manufacturers asking how it would effect the warranty.

Based on this article damages directly caused by a third party software download will not be covered in the warranty, how safe would you guys say this plug in is to download? Has anyone here ever tried it?

Thank you Sam! I'm looking into all this now. That post production workflow video is incredible! I NEED THIS PLUG IN!
 
$photo 1.webp Will these work??
 
The Magic Lantern plug-in runs off the memory card, and gets loaded on boot-up. It does NOT modify the Canon firmware, but exists besides it in the camera's memory. The memory card has to be made bootable, and the Magic Lantern files need to be placed in the card's root directory. Other than that, if you take out the card and replace it with another (without Magic Lantern), the camera will boot normally (load the firmware from its internal EEPROM memory). I've used Magic Lantern on several cameras (Xsi, T1i, and some P&S), and haven't had any issues of any kind with any of them. There are a lot of additional capabilities, and there's a learning curve associated with these. But the additional functionality is definitely worth the effort, in my opinion.
