Magic Lantern raw is beautiful! I am on Windows and I’ve used both RAWanizer and raw2cdng to convert the .raw files to DNG. I then run the DNG files through a program called Slimraw (see here https://www.slimraw.com ), which is very, very fast and does lossless compression on DNG video. This step shrinks the size of the raw video to less than half the original. I then use these compressed dngs directly in both Resolve and Premiere.
There are also other UI programs you can use for the initial conversion. See magic lantern forums: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?board=54.0

Your Sigma 10-20 is a crop sensor lens, it won’t cover the full A7sII sensor. It will cover the GH4 sensor though. The Canon 50/1.4 is a full frame lens so it should work fine on the A7sII.
You don’t need speedboosters for full frame sensors like the A7 series. But you can use them on the GH4 since it has a 2x crop factor.

I use an awesome program called SlimRAW to do a lossless compression pass on FS700 cinemadng footage. This usually brings the size of the raw files down almost to 1/3 of the original size and the quality stays exactly the same. This means that in editing I need only 1/3 the storage space and, more importantly, the storage throughput. The lossless compressed raw files work fine in both Premiere and Resolve.
That said, if you are not getting any speed increase with a RAMdisk your bottleneck is probably the GPU (or the CPU, but raw video seems to depend more on the GPU).

Which Blackmagic camera is this? Hard drive and GPU are usually doing the most of the work.
You can also transcode with Resolve and it is doing a quick job. -
100 IRE is perfectly fine for whites, music videos or not.
The exact white level is a creative choice. -
Hi,
Lens has nothing to do with noise/grain in the image.
The probable explanation is that you are not exposing properly.
