Sergio - While it seems that the 5D Mark3 development on Magic Lantern hasn't moved forward since Danne's last (2/3/23) update - I certainly appreciate your continuing postings. This one (in particular) on the 5D Mark 3 is of special interest, as you touch on capturing an image in 3:2, Open Gate Mode. I wasn't aware that a 3:2 aspect ratio was available when using the 2/3/23 firmware update ! Following your recorded example on how to setup the camera for Open Gate, recording was achieved smoothly. I'm now in the process of processing some of the recorded files. With "Open Gate" being such a "hot" topic for new cameras, I'm sure another YouTube video (by you) specifically dealing with the 5D Mark 3 and Open Gate recordings would be appreciated and could stimulate "new" interest in Magic Lantern. Bilal's Magic Lantern "Crop Mood" for the EOS M seems to also provide Open Gate for that camera - perhaps you could include information for that cameras too ! Regards from Houston Texas USA

UPDATE: Okay --- 10th time is Like I finally studied Danne's file names in detail and realized I had downloaded the incorrect ML zip file. So, I then downloaded the version for firmware 1.2.3 and installed it and IT WORKS as desired!!! Thank you so much for your video instruction and link to Danne's files.

Ah, so you're the reason all the second-hand 5DIII are still really expensive ;-) fabulous recap of all the ML options. It gave a new lease of life to my old 600D and I've been contemplating adding a 5D for a while for these seriously impressive RAW recording capabilities. Appreciate the detailed runthrough with the example footage.

Thank you for this video. I had purchased a MkIII last year for magic lantern, and in pivotal moments had recording issues. This will help me understand the whole system better. Excellent

[vozyverso]

Thank you very much for this wonderful video. Now I have been able to understand many aspects of Magic Lantern that were unknown to me. Above all, being able to record continuously without 4gb cuts and also doing it in RAW in Full HD, which is more than enough for YouTube. Now I record like this and then I scale it in post-production to 4k with an exceptional result. When you explained that you can record with the full sensor, I thought it was great. Thank you very much again for your generosity and for speaking English with an accent that is much more understandable to those of us who are not English.

I've just bought a 5d iii. Thank you very much for the tutorial on how to proceed to enjoy Magic Latern on this model. Regards!

I feel like I'm in a physics class but my brain can only handle Algebra 1... So much to learn and so little time. GREAT VIDEO!!! (I'll just have to watch it 50 more times.)

[PaulVarricchione]

I can't believe you uploaded this 2 months ago! The timing! I need Magic Lantern on my old 5D3 and I was looking for an "in depth video" and never expected to find one created so recently! Thank you for doing this, friend! Quick question: Do you know if ML will allow me to use my camera as a webcam via HDMI and a capture device without it timing out after 30 minutes?

[cosmashono]

An interesting video. It's funny how I have always enjoyed watching ML related videos, especially from people who know how to squeeze the most out of it, but whenever I get to have a good deal on ebay, I always back out. I am a very lazy man, and there's nothing like picking a camera up and shooting without the headaches that are well associated with ML. Very detailed video Sergio. I pushed back the urge from Zeek, Cole, and now I have to deal with you. 🤣

[VietinghoffAlex]

Such a good, in-depth breakdown of all the modes, will definitely be a good resource for many for years to come!

[retrothing]

Excellent video, as always! I’m an EOS M shooter, and it’s always interesting to see the differences between models - especially a beefcake powerful one like the mk iii. Thanks for your hard work!

[KarmotrineDreamBunny]

Thank you for this video, without it there would be no recent tutorials on how to install ML on the 5d mark iii. It may be an old machine but I still love mine 😄

[fabriziogomez]

Finally another video Sergio!
Great to see you again.

[bern]

Excellent video Sergio, thank you for taking the time to go through in detail for what this camera can do, this is a very good tutorial indeed, i love your videos as they are carefully planned and not rushed - thanks Sergio

[joaquindelacruz]

you know you've gone too far down the camera rabbit hole when the clearly professionally experienced tutorial includes a call for help not knowing how to fix a problem :( big thank yous, also to magic lantern

[fahinarafinevan]

Thank you very much for this video! i have one I bought in 2013, and it still holds! Now I can jump again with some shorts I have planned!

[vahidbrignoni]

Thanks Sergio! your content is the bomb!

[g.theredkitern.]

Thank you for this comprehensivie guide, makes shooting with ML so much accessible, great work!

[Mojokiss]

Thanks! I got magic lantern on my mkiii now!
