files and processes separated if not stated otherwise. It,s all up to you to test and validate this workflow. I leave no guarantees. It should be treated as beta.

What,s MLP about?

MLP works with the following files:
RAW/MLV to dng conversion. Files workable in DaVinci Resolve(embeds audio) and Premiere Pro
RAW/MLV and folders of dng files to ProRes4444 files
Dual iso CR2 still images are converted to workable DNG files with correct white balance
HDR conversion both MLV/RAW and H264 mov files
Dual iso dng sequences are handled automatically coming from RAW/MLV files
RAW/MLV/dng/DNG/mov preview processor
Processes are multithreaded

By right clicking a folder, containing any of the above mentioned files, and when selecting MLP from the contextual services menu to specified folder two additional folders will be created prior to running any further processing:
A_dan_log_3d_luts
A_lut_hold
By adding these folders you are able to add or change different settings before continuing processing such as white balance, brightness, gamma, add different luts. You are also able to change settings for HDR processing.
Adding setting files is easy. Simply pick something from the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and put it in the “A_lut_hold” and then start processing you files. The tricky part is to find the right combinations for how you want your files to be processed.
Whatever setting you create will be viewable as preview tif files if right clicking a RAW,MLV,dng,DNG or mov file directly.

creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder. As starting point there will be three presets already included

MLV_RAW_dng_dcraw_any_command.txt (includes dcraw setting –H 2 for highlight recovery)
MLV_RAW_dng_gamma_2.4_0.txt (dcraw gamma 2.4 0)
MLV_RAW_dng_straight_to_prores444.txt (will start producing ProRes4444 files right after processing to dng files are done)

You can either choose to simply restart MLP and run the workflow with included settings or feel free to add or change existing settings before running MLP again. The included settings are there to get you a file with high dynamic range to give you high quality files to work with in other programs

the A_dan_log_3d_luts and the
A_lut_hold folder. By adding CR2_HDR_enfuse.txt to the A_lut_hold folder a menu selector
will appear with a bunch of HDR options. Will also work with Set a ProRes4444 or dng output folder (p15)
The script will create a folder called A_CR2_enfuse_orig where the CR2 files and created tiff files are moved
To after conversion. Once the HDR files are created MLP will delete the tiff files inside A_CR2_enfuse_orig
Folder.

Start HDR processing by selecting batch settings as
the last step.

By installing HDRmerge to your applications folder you can choose
DNG output instead of tiff (read HOWTO for more install instructions)

HDRMerge http://jcelaya.github.io/hdrmerge/

files creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder. If you want to alter cr2hdr settings you move the CR2_cr2hdr20bit_settings.txt file to the A_lut_hold folder. Inside this file you,ll see instructions how to change settings







Place CR2_cr2hdr20bit_settings.txt file in A_lut_hold folder if needed

MOV_regular.txt file and moving it to the A_lut_hold folder MLP will process regular non HDR files and by default export them to ProRes4444. You can add up to three 3d luts in the A_lut_hold folder to change looks. You can change the output or the scale settings by adding and changing inside the following files. FFmpeg_settings.txt MLV_RAW_MOV_dng_scale.txt After processing the originals will be moved to a folder called A_MLP_originals. The processed files will have the prefix MLP_ on them. Disable the default sharpen filter by adding. HDR_MOV_disable_sharpening.txt Previewing When right clicking the file it will be played in mpv or FFplay media player. For a built in *histogram or *waveform view add any of these two files to the A_lut_hold folder. FFplay_Histogram.txt FFplay_Waveform.txt *will need FFplay to be installed. Check page 23

folder including mov, MOV files creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder. The tblend filter also works in conjunction with MLVFS. By adding the HDR_tblend_average.txt to the A_lut hold folder you will have a very fast HDR transcoding processor. FFmpeg includes an average filter and when used it will average every other frame in your HDR file. This means you can skip enfuse completely and simply export straight to ProRes4444. This time with no dropped frames. If footage is filmed in 50 fps you will end up with 50fps. Recommended that you use the HDR_tblend_average_half_FPS.txt file if you aim for 24, 25 or 30 fps working with files originally filmed in 48, 50 or 60 fps. Preview You can preview HDR footage and applied effects through mpv or FFplay in realtime by right clicking a H264 MOV file. If no HDR_tblend_average.txt is present MLP will create a preview tif file instead. When ready to start processing simply right click the folder containing your footage.

MOV files creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder. The HDR_enfuse_settings.txt also works in conjunction with MLVFS.

By including HDR_enfuse_settings.txt file in “A_lut_hold” folder you,ll be able to alter enfuse settings. As default the included setting is customized to handle movie sequences. There are other settings to be tweaked. Look inside the txt file to read more

When including HDR_enfuse_correct_FPS.txt A_lut_hold MLP will give you correct frames per second.
Processing will take longer due to doubled frames.



Use HDR_enfuse_settings.txt file to optimize enfuse settings

clicking your folder including RAW/MLV files MLP creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder. Following workflow will also work with MLVFS.

By adding the HDR_tblend_average.txt to the A_lut hold folder you will have a very fast HDR transcoding processor. FFmpeg includes an average filter and when used it will average every other frame in your HDR file. This means you can skip enfuse completely and simply export straight to ProRes4444. This time with no dropped frames. If footage is filmed in 50 fps you will end up with 50fps. Recommended that you use the HDR_tblend_average_half_FPS.txt file if you aim for 24, 25 or 30fps working with files originally filmed in 48, 50 or 60 fps
Preview You can preview HDR footage through mpv or FFplay in view realtime by right clicking a folder with dng files. If no HDR_tblend_average.txt is present FFplay will play your footage like it was regular footage. When ready to start processing simply right click the parent folders containing folders or RAW/MLV files.

Example from MLVFS

folder including RAW/MLV files creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder (! Will not work with MLVFS workflow. Use workflow on page 5)

By adding HDR_enfuse_straight from_dng_settings.txt to the ”A_lut_hold” folder file you,ll activate HDR processing of RAW/MLV or folders of dng files. Alter settings in the added txt file if needed
*Recommended to erase the MLV_RAW_dng_dcraw_any_command.txt from A_lut_hold folder when processing HDR coming from RAW/MLV files. –H 2 highlight recovery will darken your files.

When including HDR_enfuse_correct_FPS.txt A_lut_hold MLP will give you correct frames per second.
Processing will take longer due to doubled frames.

Use HDR_enfuse_straight from_dng_settings.txt to activate and change settings in HDR processing for RAW/MLV files

files creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder. As starting point there will be three presets already included

Dual iso processing of RAW/MLV files are the same as for working with normal RAW/MLV files. Recommended that you add the MLV_RAW_dng_dual_iso_gamma_3.6_0.txt file to boost gamma when transcoding to ProRes4444. You can also use the MLV_RAW_dng_gamma_2.4_0.txt having them both in A_lut_hold folder If mixing dual iso and non dual iso files in your folder. MLP will detect if it,s a dual iso file and add the correct gamma settings automatically


Add MLV_RAW_dng_dual_iso_gamma_3.6_0.txt when transcoding to ProRes4444

will create a PRORES folder next to the MLVFS mount and the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder then MLP quits. As starting point there will be three presets already included in the A_lut_hold folder. Do your setting changes and right click the partition once more to start transcoding.

After adding chosen settings in the MLVFS web gui and in the A_lut_hold folder you simply run MLP by right clicking a the MLVFS partition. This will run four ProRes transcoding processes in parallel
If mpv or FFplay mediaplayer are installed you can preview a folder of dng files by right clicking it. Any settings file added in the A_lut_hold folder will be viewable through either player.

files creates the “A_dan_log_3d_luts” and the “A_lut_hold” folder. As starting point there will be three presets already included.
If you also include the MLV_RAW_dng_scene_folders.txt to the A_lut_hold folder MLP will create 20 additional scene folder ranging from scene_01 to scene_20. Every scene folder will make it possible to hold its own specific A_lut_hold settings. This will be useful if filming on different days or under different conditions. Simply add files in a folder and tweak its A_lut_hold folder, then move on to the next folder. Keep it up until you,re ready to run MLP again. Run MLP from the parent folder and not by right clicking the scene folders to start scene_folders processing! Scene folder also works with HDR files if you add HDR_enfuse_straight from_dng_settings.txt or HDR_enfuse_settings.txt in its A_lut_hold folder.
If you want to have all files being moved to the main parent folder after processing instead of emptying every scene folder simply add the MLV_RAW_dng_move_to_parent.txt to the A_lut_hold folder in the parent folder. This is the A_lut_hold folder outside the scene_folders and it will act as a master settings folder for all scene_folders when used in with certain settings amongst them MLV_RAW_dng_move_to_parent.txt

MOV, dng or DNG files MLP will create a preview tif file which will include the included settings inside the A_lut_hold folder. It also works with HDR files if you include the HDR_enfuse_straight from_dng_settings.txt or HDR_enfuse_settings.txt in A_lut_hold folder

Example
Add one of the log look cubes from the 01_cr2hdr-r_log folder to the A_lut_hold folder
Add all contrast cubes from the 03_cr2hdr-r_contrast to the batch_folder
Right click a MLV/RAW/dng/DNG/mov file to create looks of all the contrast looks in batch_folder. Preview processor will apply the log look in A_lut_hold folder as base and create previews of all the contrast looks in the batch_folder on top of that log look
When you find a good combination simply copy the contrast cube of choice to the A_lut_hold folder. Empty the batch_folder
Run MLP

A typical combination of files in the A_lut_hold folder could be
01_Ca_C-Log2.cube
03_A_LogC_REC709_01c.cube

*tip by right clicking the A_lut_hold folder MLP will create and store that specific combination of settings and place it as a preset inside A_dan_log_3d_luts folder called look01. Up to 10 presets can be stored. To erase all stored looks right click MLP on A_dan_log_3d_luts folder
*tip by right clicking the 03_cr2hdr-r_contrast folder MLP will move all the cube files straight to batch_folder. Right click batch_folder to move the files back to its corresponding folder

different ways in MLP. Default settings as follows
MLV - follows kelvin temperature recorded. All canon presets except AWB will work
RAW - Auto white balance
dng/DNG - metadata
CR2 dual iso - camera metadata
White balance manipulation
Via including either a CR2 or dng file in A_lut_hold folder. Dcraw will grab the wb multiplier from the file and apply the wb numbers to your files
Via including CR2 files next to your MLV/RAW files. Workflow description below
CR2 wb handling
Record a CR2 file then start recording MLV or RAW. Keep filming until you want to change white balance the next time then you...
...record another CR2 file before continuing filming until you change white balance again. Keep this up until done filming
Collect both MLV/RAW and CR2 files in the same folder and run MLP. The files will be automatically associated with the CR2 file recorded before filming any specific group of MLV/RAW files and in the end be moved to the A_mlv_raw_ORIGINALS folder
dcraw_white_balance_presets
Inside the dcraw_FFmpeg_settings folder you,ll find a folder with white balance preset dng files. Drop one of them in A_lut_hold folder to apply this specific preset wb
02_cr2hdr-r_white_balance
White balance can be altered via 3d cube luts. Add a warmer or colder cube in the A_lut_hold folder to achieve this

files a shell script command will be copied to the folder next to the A_lut_hold and A_dan_log_3d_luts. When double clicking the looks_creator.command file a menu will open up and your folder will place itself next to the script. You simply write the numbers of the item you want in copied into the A_lut_hold and hit enter. The command will also start creating previews immidieately upon selecting an item. You control processing by stopping or starting according to the menu at the bottom of every list. There are three different lists to choose from. !When you quit the command (q) it will erase any wav or *.WAV and MRX file in the folder! This is to clean up files after previews or if using it in conjunction with MlRawViewer.

page. View your footage through FFplay mediaplayer(part of FFmpeg). Will also work with HDR files when the HDR_enfuse_settings.txt, HDR_enfuse_straight_from_dng_settings.txt or HDR_tblend_average.txt is added to the A_lut hold folder. A simple media player which runs folders of dng files is provided. The media player pipes the dng files from dcraw through FFmpeg to FFplay. The mediaplayer will reflect any changes made in the A_lut_hold folder. Default settings are set to aspect ratio 800 x 450 but for speed reasons but you can alter both output and aspect ratios through these two txt files. FFplay will also work with MOV files. See page 5 and 6. MLV_RAW_MOV_dng_scale.txt FFmpeg_settings.txt For a built in histogram or waveform view add any of these two files. To the A_lut_hold folder FFplay_Histogram.txt FFplay_Waveform.txt Workflow Right click on a folder of dng files either through MLVFS or converted inside MLP. MLVFS MLP with the FFplay_Histogram.txt file

and waveform monitor while viewing footage.
If that isn,t important I recommend you stick with mpv player which you can install from HOWTO file. If you
choose to install FFplay that will be the preferred player over mpv.

Install notes FFplay
Following instructions will install FFplay and FFmpeg to your system. This is needed for FFplay to work.

Open up terminal

1 - Install homebrew by entering this command

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Press enter

2 - Install FFplay/FFmpeg by entering following in terminal

Press enter

able to preview following files - HDR footage – both mov and folder of dng files By right clicking a folder with dng files or MOV files a mediaplayer will start and run a mediastream showing any settings you added in the A_lut_hold folder. The player will work on folders in MLVFS as well as MLP processed dng folders. When HDR_tblend_average.txt is added you can do a realtime preview of how the processed HDR footage will look like. Add the HDR_tblend_average_half_FPS.txt file to halfen fps. Normally if shooting 48, 50 or 60 fps to obtain regular fps footage. - Regular footage For the player to work with non HDR MOV files add the MOV_regular.txt file. When viewing non HDR folders with dng files do not add the HDR_tblend_average.txt file.

working with darkframe processing in MLV. Do this by
filming a few seconds with the lens cap on with the same exact settings as you will film with.

Scenario 1 Full automation 1 – Right click a folder and select MLP to build the folder structure 2 – Place your darkframe footage inside A_lut_hold folder and your footage next to the A_lut_hold folder 3 – Right click your folder once again to start processing During the process MLP will create the averaged files in the A_lut_hold folder and they will be renamed
with camera model, resolution, iso and fps. The original darkframes will be placed in a folder named
darkframe_orig inside the A_lut_hold folder. Next MLP will start processing each file in your folder and if
it matches the info from the darkframe it will apply the averaged mlv file from the A_lut_hold folder to your
movie footage. If no match it will process the mlv files as it normally would. Movie tutorial https://youtu.be/ppN5hsw8Upk

containing your filmed darkframe footage 2 – Place your darkframe footage in the A_lut_hold folder 3 – Run MLP on the folder and your averaged darkframes will be created and renamed Movie tutorial https://youtu.be/JTRJD0SAA3s

mlv files are done you can move them to a storage folder called 05_my_darkframes
folder. You can do this by manually move them or simply right click the A_lut_hold folder 2 – If your 05_my_darkframes folder contains darkframe files you can store them to your system by right
clicking selecting MLP on the folder. The files will then be stored to ~/Library/Services/looks/05_my_darkframes
folder 3 – By selecting the MLV_RAW_my_darkframes.txt file and putting it in the A_lut_hold folder you will activate
darkframe processing of mlv footage only now it will match the footage with the files in the 05_my_darkframes
folder instead of from the A_lut_hold folder 4 – If you want to erase the darkframes stored in your system you can do this by right clicking MLP on the
A_dan_log_3d_luts folder. Movie tutorial https://youtu.be/_2S34ZI2rAk https://youtu.be/ouwtq3-9Ws4

– In order for MLP to accept the files in the workflow the darkframes must be prefixed with avg_.
If you choose to add random darkframe mlv files to the 05_my_darkframes folder they will be renamed
according to metadata info following camera model, resolution, iso and fps 2 – Add your files to the 05_my_darkframes folder and rename the content by right clicking MLP on the
05_my_darkframes folder Movie tutorials https://youtu.be/tKsiBqW166U
