Manual exposure control in video mode is not currently available with CHDK.   It might be technically possible and people have probably experimented with the idea,  but its not supported.

I don't know whether it's working on your camera, but there is this script:

Don't expect too much reliability, it can crash the camera easily.

This actually runs pretty well on my A1200 & G10 - once I change lines 256/257 to adjust for not having a video button.   With a little cleanup of the GUI (using Lua drawing maybe) and some additional code to allow the zoom to operate,  this could be quite useful.  Especially now that we can enable native calls without a special build.

I took a few minutes to play with fudgey's script and convert the GUI (attached below).  Works with cameras that have a video button (if they are in video mode) and with cameras without a seperate video button.  It also adds the ability to use the zoom while the script is running.

It runs well on my G10, A1200 and SD940.  As a bonus, on the A1200 & SD940, adjusting the aperture engages the ND filter as those cameras do not have an adjustable aperture. (Note: that if you run the script while not in video mode,  the exposure adjusts but the ND filter does not engage when Av is adjusted).




Sadly,  with the same script loaded on my SX50 it does not want to stay in AELock - resetting the exposure a few seconds after I adjust it manually.   The SX50 also locked up when I ran the ISO up to 3200.  I did not see either of these issues with my other cameras so YMMV.

Update : The initialization of the Tv, Av, & Sv values is still not quite correct.  To be safe, I think that you need to adjust them each up & down prior to starting recording.

Does it make a difference if you lock AE using the Canon UI before recording?

Not sure that Canon AE lock is an option in video mode - nothing about it in the manual and I can't seem to convince it otherwise. 

Using a half press and the UP button on the mode dial engages AEL for the next still shot.  Activating video recording in that mode seems to just reset it.

It should be available in movie mode (mode dial explicitly set to movie mode), but they don't call this AE lock, see manual page 110.
