You can compress the files for archiving in software like SlimRAW. I'd rather shoot in a compressed RAW format like BRAW or even 12:1 compression CDNG. I think that Resolve can natively read Canon RAW files, but I don't know about Premiere and other software. You will need extremely fast memory cards, in very large capacities, as data rates are very high with uncompressed 12bit RAW. Have you done any reading on the requirements and workflow?

My question is simply, can you actually use a 5Dm3 with Magic Lantern in run and gun situation, have the settings perfect in camera, all you need to do is turn it on, turn on ML and start shooting footage without much issues on the go?

I was looking at the Canon 70D and the Canon 5Dm3 on the used market, I am not familiar with the Magic Lantern process, I hear people say the 5Dm3 is a very reliable camera when it comes to shooting RAW, very few bugs. I was looking at various videos of people shooting RAW video out of the Canon 6D, 70D and 5Dm2/3 and was blown away by the quality these cameras can achieve with Magic Lantern.
