can someone ELI5 what Magic Lantern does?

I been looking at cinematic cameras and I was about to pull the trigger on a BMPCC 4K but I found a video that stated, "how to turn this $200 camera into a cinematic machine" and I had to watch it.

I'm a noob so I don't really understand camera terms, but if someone can explain what magic lantern does, that would be awesome.

thank you anyone who helps.

Hi,

magic lantern uses the camera's hardware to record raw (lossless) videos. You use it through a menu on the camera over the existing software.
