RAW ML Formats to Workable Images/Movies Developer

I needed a workflow to provide me full control over development for filmmaking with Magic Lantern (beyond mlrawviewer's excellent preview!), while keeping things simple by providing defaults for everything.

So, I wrote this: A program that converts from RAW formats (MLV, RAW, DNG, CR2) to workable formats (EXR, MOV, DPX, DNxHD, MJPEG, etc.) with many, many features in between (color management, filters, dual iso, demosaic, etc.)

It's extensible, letting you write plugins controlling/filtering any leg of the journey from raw to developed. Config file syntax also makes it a kind of "make for productions"; with configs and one command, you can develop your whole project from unsorted raw footage to editable, proxied, organized stuff!

I use it myself :D so here's some shorts with it (back at v1.7) in action!!

Installation

Supported platforms are Linux and Mac. To install, copy/paste the following into a terminal:

  1. Extract tarball. Rename it "convmlv" and put it somewhere useful. cd to that directory.

  2. Install Deps: sudo apt-get install $(./convmlv.sh -K <number>). Replace as indicated below:

    • For Debain, use the number "0"
    • For Fedora, replace apt-get with yum and use the number "2".
    • For Mac, replace sudo apt-get with brew and use the number "3". *Requires Homebrew to be installed.

  3. Install Python deps: sudo python3 -m pip install $ (./convmlv.sh -Y)

  4. (Optional) Add to Path: sudo ln -s $(pwd)/convmlv.sh /usr/local/bin/convmlv

You're done! For more info, see the Documentation (especially the PDF has a guide to this).

Documentation

Especially the PDF is designed as a tutorial; take a look!

The Forum Thread at http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=16799.0 is always up to date.

The PDF found in the release is up to date, including tutorials, tips, explanations, plugin API, and more.

The Help Page is the most up to date; just run convmlv -h or look at docs-->MANPAGE in the release tarball.

Development

To build the PDF and MANPAGE using LATEX, run docs/buildDocs.sh. You can clean it up using docs/cleanDocs.sh.

To make a release tarball, simply place all the manual binary deps into the binaries dir and run ./mkrelease.sh.

The source code is located in src, where you'll find bash and Python code, as well as the builtin plugins. convmlv.sh itself imports all the src's, and acts as a kind of program selector; develop is but one option.
