- Have you ever been frustrated with your Canon DSLR and its lack of video features? In this video independent filmmaker Corey Tindall, shares about Magic Lantern, and how to use some key features to improve your dslr filmmaking!
Check out more of our content at thatreelperspective.blogspot.com/
Just got a 5D Mk II and Magic Lantern'ed it! Now I can get 5.6K RAW timelapses and 4K RAW both at 14 Bit! Bought it for $250, and it fits right at home with my BMPCC 4K and my Red Scarlet MX.
Also, on an unrelated note, saw that diploma! EMAW!!
Great video, very clear and concise explanation! I just got a Canon EOS Rebel T5i (in the Americas, aka Kiss X7i in Japan or 700D in the rest of the world) from a friend for my camera collection and realized that I can run Magic Lantern which is totally awesome! I am an instant fan of that camera and will be even more fun with ML loaded on it. I am obsessed with 2010s era cameras, especially DSLRs, and ML breathes new life into an aging, yet still very capable, camera!! Cheers from Seattle, WA
Respect for answering people's questions even long after the video's been out!
Found it while being frustrated by my out of focus 1200d photographs, impossible to see what's in focus on that tiny screen.
'Don't press me!' Button. MOST HELPFULL OPTION EVER!😍
I've been using ML for like a year or so, but you just taught me about Magic Zoom and HOLY THIS IS AMAZING IT MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER!
Thank you so much!
Glad I could help you out! Yeah, magic zoom is a pretty awesome feature.
Do you know how I activate the continue video shooting on my Canon T3i? I installed Magic Lantern but video still stops at 4gb. It doesn't restart as I would like it to.
its standard on the canon SX models.
Great presentationt here. Learned a lot. Magic Lantern Features seem to vary from camera to camera. On my Canon 6D there's a menu item that allows you to simply turn off the 30 minute recording limit, which makes the 6D a good streaming/podcast camera. . But that feature does not apply to other Canon models.
Nice ML video. I used it on my 5D3. I see the KSU diploma. I went to WSU and worked at KU. Where are you now?
Yeah ML is great! Cool to see another Kansan around! I went to KSU for school then moved around a bit. I'm currently in Indy.
Nice Real Book in the background! Thanks for the video!
Thanks! Haha, funny you spotted that! I play jazz in my free time!
Reel Filmmaking I just got my master’s in jazz guitar so I notice stuff like that hahahaha
good info. I wonder does Magic Lantern record videos with all-intra or long gop? all-intra would be better. is there a setting to choose either?
Excelente video muchas gracias por compartir, te deseo muchos éxitos!
gracias!
Great video! But can I use external wireless microphone using the magic lanter? In normal Canom settling I had to change to manual in order to use the mic. Does magic lantern allows the same?
I really would like AF in video mode added to ML! Great video. Thanx!
Totally agree!
Just downloaded ML on my T3i, and it is amazing as compared to the base Canon os.
Heck yeah it is! The first time I shot some raw video, I was blown away by the detail of it compared to the regular h.264 that comes out of canon cameras.
Omg thanks, using a 60d as well, I love it
Great tutorial. Would anyone here have an idea how it may be suitable for the 5D Mark iii? Would some of the features on Magic Lantern even be needed at all? I was only interested in Magic Lantern for the 4K feature, I had no idea about all these other features. The Mark iii is a pretty complicated camera already
Glad the video was helpful! I would definitely say yes to using Magic Lantern with a 5D Mark iii. Honestly, it's on of the top cameras for using ML with. Because of it's high sd card write speeds it can record at some really high frame rates for RAW video, so whether you're shooting 1080, 2.5k, or 4k the footage looks amazing in terms of quality and dynamic range once you edit the raw video files.
@@reelfilmmaking101 Right on! Thanks for the response! Yes I'm real excited to try Magic Lantern on my Mark iii. I'm glad to hear that it's really sought out for and actually works good when it comes to shooting raw video with the Mark iii ! I plan on shooting a lot of great video for my dream projects! However, I am unable to use the CF reader. So I can use the SD alone then? For both the ML installed on and to take my shoots with? I've read just last night on a forum that it is perhaps the preferred way, but it was never clear if it was actually 1 SD alone.
I guess it would make sense since people like to have multiple SD's with ML installed on it. Again, great video! I loved the bit on the Zebra. I never knew about this kind of stuff. I'm a beginner. Also, I'm red/green blue/purple color blind. Would you ever make a video on how to look for the best ways to shoot in day light or low light in contrast to moods, vibes, for those who can't quite distinguish hues or shades of certain colors? I can distinguish shades and hues of colors form each other 98% of the time.
Or would you have any reference links or videos on such information?
what build of Magic Lantern is this? experimental? nightly?
So, where are you really, without the brickware? Can you get back to the stockware without causing any data loss? As far as what I know, trying to get back to the stockware is seemingly killing the camera beyond repair.
Sir, mere 6d mark II pe 1.1.6 Firmware install nahi ho paraha hai. Koi suggest dijiye ? Main Magic Lantern install karna chahta hu
Hi, do you know if the 1200D can record in a higher resolution with the Magic Lantern software?
So magiclatern install in sdcard not in camera? So if i remove/change sdcard magiclatern willbe gone??
Can one use the Magic zoom and shoot/record the scene fully magnified (in your example, can the amp knob be recorded as if we had additional lenses)? If not, the Magic lantern should implement that feature.
Yeah, that sounds like an awesome idea. My understanding is, though you can record with Magic Zoom fully magnified it still only records at the actual focal length of the lens. Bummer.
I just recently learned there is a 3x crop mode. My 55-250 zoom is now like over 1000!!! I also use it for macro too.
@@cannachrissd thx. Although x crop mode is also available on Canon's firmware.
hello. i wanna ask if my camera eos 3000d can install magic lantern. since im struggling to remove autofocus square while livestream..much appreciate if u can help me
Hi! if i download the magic lantern, can i use my 5Dc as a video capture camera? there is no possible way to use as it in the original menu.
thanks
I have installed ML on my 70D but I cant find the Audio Option. Its start from Expouser Audio option is absent. What to do?
You might need to enable to module that allows for audio recording. If you navigate over the the far menu on the magic lantern menu there should be a page with all the different modules you can turn on that activate different things within magic lantern. Enable the audio module, then turn off your camera and when you turn it back on you should have audio metering. Hope this helps!
@@reelfilmmaking101 Done Thank you!
is it compatible now with eos 70d?
I get raw detect error. Dont know what to do!😩
so i got it installed, but the os doesnt come up? ive tried cycling through a bunch of stuff but it seems to just be like an add on atm?
it show like what my battery percentage is and my iso but nothing else
kinda dont know what to do
i got it lol
just a brain dead idiot
Hi I have a Canon 6D with 1.1.6 firmware on it. I just wanted to know if i install Magic lantern on it , will it help me autofocus while recording Videos , specially with moving subjects? please do let me know....thanks
Magic Lantern can't change the focus system in the Canon 6D, but I know there are focus assist features like focusing peaking and waveforms that can help when you're shooting with manual focus. There's also a focus pulling mode where you can set in and out points for the camera to pull focus from and to. I haven't used that mode really, so I don't know a ton about it. Hope this helps!
@@reelfilmmaking101 thank you.
How do I take decent video on the EOS Rebel T7? Is it usable for video, or should I get a new camera? What about sound?
Yeah, I think you can totally get good video with the T7. I'm a believer that if you know foundations of how to use a camera (camera gear, lighting, audio) you can get good to great video out of most cameras. I would look into so videos about how to use your camera, some basic lighting tips (even using natural light) and how to get good audio. That will take your videos up in quality so much! Hope this helps!
Bro I started shooting music videos on a rebel t6. All dslr cameras are gonna shoot in 1080p 24fps. If your videos don’t look good, stop using your kit lense, just throw it away. Buy a 50mm 1.8 . There’s a Asian brand I can’t spell that starts with a Y on Amazon for like $50. It’s the only lense I’ve used for 3 years
@@reelfilmmaking101 Thank you!!
is it compatible with eos 70D?
Hi Corey I recently installed magic lantern with the Latest Build (2018-07-02 22:19 and used a sandisk extreme pro 32gb speed up to 95mb per sec when I record the screen is moving super slow . I followed your settings video but I don't see the volume meters at the top or the same screen as the build you have . Thanks in advance for any help you can provide .
Have you tried pressing the INFO button to toggle between the different screens? 🤔
Does this work on Canon 90D or Canon T8i? Debating which camera to buy next year. 90d or T8i. I really like the 90d. For 4k video and full crop sensor.
Magic Lantern doesn't work on newer cameras like the 90D or T8i. The developers are still working on new builds for some of the cameras from the past 5-6 years.
I installed magic lantern on my Canon rebel T2i & it keeps stopping when I'm recording...any help I'll be thankful
I've never used ML with at T2i, but the problem could be the SD you're using. Try to a different card or one with higher write speeds on it, that could possibly fix the problem. I would also try to reinstall ML to the SD card and see if you still have the problem.
@@reelfilmmaking101 Thank you was a great help...Respect
You can turn down your video bitrate. I turned mine down to 0.7x
Hi, does work AF of the Canon 60d with Magic Lantern? May I use it for filmmaking myself? (as there is not support for M50 yet). I would like to try Magic Lantern, I've seen your video with the EOS M, but I wonder if this 60D with flippy screen and AF would work better. What do you recommend me?
From my experience testing it out, the AF does not work with the 60d in magic lantern. It is nice that the 60d does have the flip out screen for video, I use that quite a lot. For either camera I would not rely on auto focus, since it's not great in either of them. I think between the two cameras, I think you'll have a better magic lantern experience using the eos m. The builds are more stable and you can getter a better overall result with the eosm vs the 60d.
Quick question..i have a Canon 60D. Will Magic Lantern let me do continuous recording depending on card size ...I need to be able to do 1 to 1.5 hours without interruption..Thanks
There’s a setting within Magic Lantern that does allow for continuous recording if you have a big enough SD card, but the camera still has to shut off momentarily at the 29min mark, so you’ll have some dropped frames if you only have one camera. If you have another camera like your 60D that you can load Magic lantern on, you could slightly stagger recording between the cameras and be able to record for that 1 to 1.5 length, without any lost frames. Hope that helps!
Reel Filmmaking - great info thanks! I just got a 7D - I understand that the camera overheats at about 10 mins of filming video & cuts off? Question is - how long will it take to cool down so I can continue filming video? Many thanks ✌️📸
How do I activate this continuous mode on my T3i? I installed the Magic Lantern Firmware but it still cuts off at 4gb
Is it safe to install? I have the Canon 250D.
Really interesting video thanks, I have a question though ... So i managed to get Magic Lantern on my T3i (after learning how to downgrade the firmware back to 1.0.2) No issues with installation, everything looks like its there but ... the most useful features for me would be a) to get clean hdmi and b) the magic zoom (v useful for me when zooming in to my workbench and knowing im in focus) But there seems tobe an issue. I've watched your vid so closely many times over but I can't seem to get the magic zoom to work at all. I can set all the options as you have but when I click record and then try (any button) it just does nothing. I can;t work out whether im being an idiot or whether the magic lantern software has an issue ... yet I can find noone else haviung this problem and no forums reporting it. So for example ... I'm in video mode, i press waste basket to get into magic lantern menu (confirm settings exactly as yours were, though ive tried every combination of triggers) then i then press the record button once (screen then displays normal view but with obvious magic lantern info listed) but does not start recording. At this point if I press the shutter half or all way all of the magic lantern info dissapears and it appear to revert to normal firmware mode. If I press record again to start recording the recording starts but no button on the camera then activates the zoom mode, neither can i get the focus ring to activate it. Any ideas? It's like the buttons arent configured or just all do pretty much the same thing (which is to give the impression that magic lantern just stopped and camera reverted to standard). N.B. I backdated the firmware to 1.0.2 because that was what magic lantern required. This firmware was not available on the cannon website so i had to search for it online. I dont think this is the issue though since the camera had no objection to the firmware downgrade, the update software worked as normal as does the camera since doing so.
Not sure if it helps but dont push record from within the menu
I have installed ML on my 60D but it trust recording 7s (1728x736), I am currently using Lexar 64gb v30 memory card, can you give me advice on how to shoot for longer. Thanks!
You won't get much more out of a 60D, sd cards aren't that great. Maybe look for a second hand 5D mk2, it takes cf cards you'll get much longer recording time.
Stop using that brand sd card. Just get a SanDisk
Hi. I have Firmware v.1.1.1 on my 60D. I've loaded Magic Lantern onto an SD card but when I pop it in the camera and press the trash can icon, ML doesn't come up. Any suggestions?
there could be many things going on ..
1. wrong version of ML was downloaded and installed
2. Firmware was never updated before installing ML
3. Firmware update and downloaded ML are not compatible
4. SD card was not formatted before putting ML on card
5. SD card could be corrupted (when opening latch door to remove SD card .. make sure to ALWAYS wait 5 sec before actually removing card with ML on it)
personally .. i just installed ML on my 60D and used it yesterday .. the only difference between us is that i have Firmware v.1.0.1 .. good luck!
When you load ML on your card you have to go through the firmware update in the canon menu to get ML to load.
So can you not reformat the card ever? will it delete ML if I do that? Thanks for the video!
Bro just go buy more cards 🤷🏼♂️ I use 64g cards and every shoot and I never fill them up
Reformatting the card if done in Canon Camera will preserve/reload ML automatically. IF you do low level format you have to reinstall ML on the card.
Which card and gb MB
would magic lantern help with auto focus on a T3i for video shooting? I have a T3i which i havent used in a long time and im thinking to start making youtube videos but i heard the auto focus on it is very bad and most people use manual focus when shooting video with T3i which obviously is quite troublesome especially if there are movements during shots.
Magic Lantern can't fix the autofocusing problem on the T3i, though it can give you some different focus assist features, like focus peaking that will greatly help you in getting good focus. Though it's a bit more challenging with an older camera like the T3i, you can totally do TH-cam style content with that camera. I made a video about focus tips for the Canon 60D that gives some advice about getting good focus that I'm sure would help you, since the Canon 60D has terrible autofocus like the T3i. Hope this helps!

Reel Filmmaking thank you for the advice and link. Will definitely try to install magic lantern. Any little bit helps I guess.
Around 9:54 you kinda sound like MKBHD
Thanks!!
wow great video
Thanks!
I had an old version of firmware on my 60D (1.0.something) and tried to update to 1.1.1 so I could do the magic lantern update. But the only version canon have now is 1.1.2 and magic lantern won't work on anything but 1.1.1. Has anyone found a way around this ? or found a version of 1.1.1 ? plz help :)
Just Search! You will get the zip file of 1.1.1 on Google or check out once on Canon's Japan website
Im lucky. I haven't used my 600D properly since I bought it in 2013 lol...
MKBHD Is That You?
Does ML give Shutter Angle options on the 5D? Thank you
I don't think it allows shutter angle, but don't quote me on that. Hope this helps!
@@reelfilmmaking101 thank you! Chose a 6d mk 1 in the end. Got a really good deal as the camera is like new with 1800 shutter actuations only... Got to load ML and experiment with shutter speed instead of angle then 😁. Thank you for the reply.
I'm curious about the camera temperature. I run Magic Lantern on my 60d and typically shoot for at least an hour. I've seen 64c before...got me a little concerned. I've not had any performance issues but I was curious if your temps are similar.
id like to know aswell
Here on EOS M, I usually shot 12bit uncompressed or 14bit loseles and have hit 42° with no problem for 2 hours.
Alessandro, but the deal with my 60d...I actually made money trading for it and I’m getting great results. Just don’t know for how long 😅
Wow!
That's a hot camera if that reading is correct! I've only really focused on the temp in Magic Lantern when I've been filming outside at someplace like the beach where my camera feels like it's cooking. I've seen 38c on my camera before and all my videos and pictures were still fine after I got back from shooting.
Sir any news on magic lantern for Canon 750d
On the Magic Lantern website it says they're currently working on a build for the Canon 750d. Hopefully they'll finish it soon!
I used
magic lantern on canon 600D for almost over a year and everything worked fine, but the other day, I turned on the camera and everything worked fine but magic lantern was nowhere to be found, as if it was deleted and I know that I didn’t delete it.. Do you think it's safe for my camera to try installing it again? PS. sorry for my bad English 😂
That's so weird to hear about Magic Lantern just being gone. Could it have gotten deleted by accident when you were clearing the card. If the camera still seems to be working, I would download the software again and try running on your camera again. I think it should safe, so don't worry about that.
Also, no worries about your English, I'm understanding you perfectly. :)
Reel Filmmaking thanks man, I installed it again and it works perfectly fine!!
Awesome! Glad to hear that!
You probably formatted your sd card
Does ML allows you to disable the Metering Timer?
From what I can tell, I don't think you can disable the metering timer with ML.
only the memory card has a magic lantern will be work in dslr?
Yep! All you need to run magic lantern is the software on the sd card that you can use on your dslr camera. The software loads from your sd card, so the software on your camera isn't damaged or affected.
Thnx for video! Very good. I have an old T3i that I am experimenting with and have installed ML.
A few questions for anyone:
1. Focus peak does not show up on my live view. It’s on and in position exactly the same as explained on the video but just not appearing on my screen. Any suggestions?
2. Is it common to use Focus Peak and Magic Zoom in tandem?
3. There is nowhere in ML to adjust to RAW. I have made the RAW selection in the Canon settings and that seems to work but have seen the RAW setting available (on other videos) in ML.
4. When I set the ISO, I do so on the ISO button (so Canon setting) and it shows as doubled on the ML menu (on the live view). LIke id. adjust to 600 the ML reads ISO800D+… Thoughts?
And final question having nothing to do with ML is around using the 50mm lens. I really like the lens, especially the boca. However there is slighty too much movement in the hand- held (using a monopod). Any suggestions on stabilizing? I’ve run a couple tests in post on Premier and the result is just OK- so wondeing if anyone is using any stabilizations systems that don’t cost a zillion.. Thank you! Michael
1, Focus peak is available only for MF (manual focus). BUT USM and STM lenses can do MF even if switch is on AF.
2. Yes
3. Under the [modules] menu. You need to turn on load the module for RAW video module and restart the camera.
4 the ISO800D+ is because you have turned ON "highlight tone priority in Canon's Custom Functions(C.Fn). Turn it off.
@@set3777 Thank you !!
@@margaretannrouse7438 Your 50mm lens is very shaky because you're using an aps-c camera, you're getting an equivalent of almost 80mm on full frame
The more zoomed in you are, the more shaky your footage will be!

Is the canon software still work when you install the ml software?
Yes.
Yes, the canon software still works. While you're using magic lantern the camera is booting the OS from the sd card. Once you delete magic lantern off the card or switch to a different sd card, you'll have the same canon OS again.
@@reelfilmmaking101 will it damage your camera if you failed downloading the magic lantern???
@@winstonseb7706 NO! Just take off the battery and reinsert. to recover.
If you use a Extreme Pro SD Card (32GB) ML will work correctly all the time. You can disable ML loading just by holding the delete button when you turn on your camera.
ML adds to your Canon software so Canon software still works normally when ML is loaded.
Can you have a true 1/48 shutter??
You can have 1/48 of a shutter when shooting with magic lantern.
Don’t tell me you think anyone would notice 😒 ... jfc 🤷🏼♂️😂
Is it compitable with 6d mark 2
To my knowledge, I don't think they've developed magic lantern for the Canon 6D markii
@@reelfilmmaking101 is 6d version can work on 6d mark 2
It's possible that the 6d version could work on the mark ii, but I'm not sure.

Can you uninstal the magic lantern os?
You can install magic lantern. It's a very similar process to how you install it on your camera. Go to the update firmware page within your camera menu, boot the os, and once you're on the magic lantern home page wait the 60sec it tells you until the magic lantern software will be uninstalled, then format your sd card. Hope this helps!
