Why? Because the camera obviously can't shoot at two exposures simultaneously, so it tries it best to work fast enough, but 24fps really isn't enough. the less frames per second, the more ghosting artifacts there'll be. With what we're doing today, HDR video willoverlap two ISO values, so shooting at 1080p24 will result in two 12fps streams, right? Right! This means that your final result will actually be 12fps.

Okay, so your camera should be set to shoot HDR video, but wait! If you already went ahead and clicked record, it might not be right yet. To enter the ML menu, start your camera in VIDEO mode, let it boot, and hit the recycling bin button. Okay, assuming you've got ML loaded up, let's move on to setting up your camera to shoot HDR. When composing the images, you'll get one smooth part and the other will have really noisy bits. Using a higher bracket, for instance 100/3200 won't look as good as you may think, since higher a ISO means more noise. The process is basically shooting two ISO values rapidly, resulting in ghosting artifacts by even minor motion, effectively meaning you should use it mainly on static or slowly moving shots with little-to-no action. HDR video will NOT work with fast-paced action.I heartily recommend it to all looking for more control over video/photo on your EOS.īefore we begin, there's a few factors to take into consideration before deciding to shoot HDR.

It should be noted that Magic Lantern is a CUSTOM FIRMWARE, that you take full responsibility for installing, and one that *might* brick your camera, but as far as I know, there's not been reported a single incident thus far. HDR Video is also among the features, and it's what we'll be focusing on in this article. So, how does it work? Magic Lantern (ML from here on) is a custom firmware that allows you more control over your Canon DSLR, with features such as ACG (Automatic Gain Control), Shutter lock, FPS override, bit rate control, zebra stripes and trap focus. All you need is a camera that accepts the Magic Lantern firmware and said firmware. Now, you've already heard about HDR ( High Dynamic Range), in the case of images all over the internet, but how about working with HDR footage? It's not only possible, but also relatively easy to do.

We'll start with how to shoot your video, talk about how to combine the clips and finally how to color correct to get a better result. Today we'll be discussing the possibilities of shooting HDR video using a Canon DSLR (In my case, a Rebel T2i/550D) paired with a custom firmware made by Magic Lantern.
