How to work with Magic Lantern MLV file on Mac?
There are two ways:

• First way: use ~/mlv_rec/mlv_dump to convert the MLV file to DNG file and WAV audio file. Then use After Effect to import the sequence files. Please note: in AE, the FPS in "Interpret footage" must be set correctly. This is the recommended way because it's reliable
• Example:
  ~/mlv_rec/mlv_dump --dng -o M29-1631/M29-1631 M29-1631.MLV
• Second way: use MLVFS to mount a folder with MLV files. To mount, right click a folder with MLV files and click MLVFS. A pop up window will ask you to select the mount folder. Please note: the pop up window is hidden behind the Finder window, so you need to move the Finder window to see it. This way is very convenient to preview footages, but it's not very reliable.
