Editing from Nikon D300 s in PE7

Hi all,
Has anyone edited video shot with the Nikon D300 S in PE7? I have a client who is buying one, and I'm wondering what kind of adventure awaits me.
Stan

Stan,
Most CODEC's will come with an installer. That would be run (the exact installer file type might differ), and it will first copy the CODEC, probably a .dll to the C:\, plus register it with the OS and add the necessary lines to the Registry. One then reboots, and that CODEC will be loaded.
Now, here is my personal feeling on CODEC's: I install just the ones that I need, when I need them. I also try to go to the "source," for each one. I would rather pay for a needed CODEC, even when there are free versions available. Many of those "free" versions are hacked, or reverse-engineered, and some just do not work well. A good example of this is the DivX CODEC. There is an open-source version, Xvid, that is very similar. Now, I can Export to DivX from each of my editing programs fine, but if I try to use the Xvid version, I get crashes on all but one editor. Guess which version I use. I also am not a fan of the various CODEC "packs," as most have hacked versions, and many also load all sorts of "stuff," that can really mess up an editing program.
This ARTICLE will give you a bit of background on CODEC's.
I hope that this helps, and good luck,
Hunt

    RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
    You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3.   Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
    Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
    Please post details of the version you are using at present.

  • Cant open RAW files from Nikon D300S

    I have a Nikon D300S.  I can't open RAW files in Adobe CS4.  Screen message is 'Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document'.  I understood from this Adobe website that the fix was to download Camera Raw 5_5.  I've done that and the same screen message appears.  What am I doing wrong / what do I need to do to fix the problem.   If you can list a step by step process in the plainest terms possible then that would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Firstly thanks to all who are trying to assist.  I appreciate your spending time on this.   Hopefully this additional info will help:
    (1) the camera is a Nikon D300s.  I'm not aware of any model details beyond this   It was bought c9 months ago.
    (2) I bought Adobe CS4 before buying the Nikon D300s.   I've used CS4 to convert RAW files from my other cameras - a Nikon D2H and a Minolta Dimage - without any bother at all.
    (3) CS4 is loaded onto my Windows based PC in to the Windows 'Downloads' folder.  I'm not using any Mac computers.
    (4) The procedure I followed to upload the Adobe files was:
    (a)  I clicked 'Help' - About Plug-in - Camera Raw.  Info on screen says 'Version 5.0.0.178
    (b)  In looking at the Adobe support web pages (I can't now find which one it was) it indidated I should check for updates.  I downloaded and saved  Photoshop_11.0.2_mul_AdobeUpdate.  Its filed in my 'Downloads' folder in Windows.
    (c) I used the Adobe search engine using an enquiry "CS4 Camera Raw Updates'.  This produced a page with box at the top and 2 headings 'Digital camera raw file support' and 'Adobe camera raw and DNG convertor downloads'.  Under this second heading there are choices to click for Widows and Mac OS.  I selected Windows.  The result produces a list of Updates / Programmes.   I selected Adobe DNG Convertor 5.5 update and Camera Raw 5.5 update and downloaded both into my Windows 'Downloads' folder.  I chose these because according to the list info they were relevanf for the Nikon D300s.  I attempted to open a photo taken from the D300s in Raw and the photo would not open - the usual '......not the right document' message.
    (d) from Forum contributions I then deleted version 5.5 of both files downloaded at (c) above and installed version 5.7 and then tried to view the Raw image again, Same result.  This is the up to date position as at this post.
    Have I missed a step somewhere? eg should there be a step forcing a link from the downloaded updates to CS4 or do the downloads automatically link to CS4 when the download is complete?
    Any furhter help you can offer is appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Viewing Raw files (.NEF) from Nikon D300 in Preview (OS X 10.4.11)

    Hi,
    I can't view Raw (.NEF) files from my new Nikon D300 dSLR in Preview. I can view the ones from my older D70. I put this question on a photography forum, and the problem seems to be with the OS. The D300 and D3 are new and popular cameras. I have no other particular reason to upgrade to 10.5 yet - is there likely to be an upgrade to 10.4, or Preview, or a plug-in or something, that will solve this? (BTW I have no problem opening these files in Lightroom, but I like to use Preview to browse).
    Richard

    Richard,
    Did you ever find a way around this? I am in the same boat. I use CS3 and Lightroom to view and edit the D3 raw images but would like to be able to preview them quickly with Preview or Photo Reviewer software which depends on the OS raw converter support.
    The newest OS update available on March 20 still doesn't fix the problem. Maybe Apple will offer another update soon??

  • Aperture refuses to import from Nikon D300

    After Yesterdays update Aperture refuse to import RAW files from my Nikon D300 as it did before. I get the message "0 images has been imported...".
    I can import to iPhoto and them export to Aperture so the RAW files seems OK.
    And I can still import JPEGS from my small Canon IS850 directly to Aperture
    Larsan

    I am doubting this has to do with updating to Aperture 2.1.2, but rather might be related to Camera RAW 2.3 -- what version of Camera RAW have you installed?
    In the a topic about auto-rotation here, there are confirmed problems with not only auto-rotation, but also recognizing as duplicates any images remaining on the card that have previously been imported. The auto-rotation problem, at least in the Previews, is common to both Aperture and iPhoto 08, so clearly points to CRAW 2.3.
    We need to see if your experience might also be related to CRAW 2.3. I am having no problem importing from a card reader with cards used in my D200 and D300 cameras, however, other than those mentioned in that topic.

  • Unable to see RAW NEF image from Nikon D300 in CS3

    Have Camera Raw Plug-in Version 4.0 in my PS CS3 and am not able to see images from my recently purchased used Nikon D300.  I have no problems seeing the NEF images downloaded from my Nikon D80.  I typically download the images from my camera thru Lightroom 2.4.   Do I need a more recent Camera Raw Plug-in?  I want to make sure I'm still compatible with LR.   Any suggestions will be hellpful.

    Yes, you are outdated with the RAW plug in and probably not able to use the
    correct version that supports your camera.
    You have two options:
    1- upgrade to CS4 and benefit from all other good this has to offer
    2- If you won't or can't upgrade use the DNG route, DNG is a free offered
    (by Adobe) converter. The latest DNG converter will convert your D300 files
    to the open DNG format which will show your RAW (then as DNG but still the
    same quality) files and you will be able to use it in CS3.
    There is lot's of information about in on this page:

  • Over exposure downloading from Nikon D300 to lightroom 2.3

    Following upgrade to Lightroom 2.3 when images are downloaded from my Nikon D300 (raw or jpeg) they are all overexposed after quickly appearing in preview.  How do I correct this.  Is this a camera or software problem
    David Neal

    I had the same problem with a D700.
    Applying the Standard profile will correct the colors but not exposure.
    Another thing to check is that you have not unable Advanced D-Light on your camera. Automode is the worst case because you don't even know how much over exposure is set!
    This camera option is a tricky one: it overexpose your photo and make a built in camera process to recover details in the over/under exposed zones.
    LR is not able to read this information (proprietary info in the NEF raw file) so the photo is over-exposed.
    One way is to use the exposure LR cursor (-0.25 can simulate a light ADL..) but you will never have the same photo because Nikon processing is different and specific for each over/under exposed zones: sometime using the LR exposure brush is necessary on this zones (darken a sky for example).
    Antoher thing is to desactive the Nikon ADL. You will then have nearly the same picture between LR Raw and your embedded Jpeg, you only need to  apply the Standard or Neutral LR profil to correct the colors.
    Then, if you want to recover some details in the over/under exposed zones, you  can add a LR exposure brush on these zones. The good thing is that you control manually what Nikon ADL do automatically...

  • NEF edits from Nikon Capture not imported to Lightroom?

    I shoot with Nikon D200. I have lots of NEF images that I have previously edited in Nikon Capture Editor 4.4.0 and kept as NEFs. Now I purchased Photoshop Lightroom 3. I have imported NEF images into the Lightroom catalog, without moving the files into a new folder.
    Problem: the edits previously done in Nikon Capture are not there. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong, but I do expect that the edits previously done to raw files will be recognized in Lightroom. There must be a simple solution.

    There is none. Edits done in Nikon capture are stored as proprietary metadata in the NEF file. No program from a non-Nikon manufacturer can read these. If you want your edits in Lightroom, you will have to save tiffs from the Nikon program, which will render a new file with all the edits in the actual picture data, and import those into Lightroom.

  • How do i view Nef format pictures downloaded  from  Nikon D300 to Ps Cs3

    Hello,
    Wonder if any one can help.
    Trying to download camera raw format pictures from a Nikon D300 into photoshop CS3. All that can be seen is the icons ( but no picture) . A dialoge box appears with a message saying that 'Ps does not support this type of file' ( ie. Nef) and therefore cannot show it.
    Downoading to Photoshop bridge, the same issue appears where the icons are visible ( but no mininature image is shown.
    many thanks

    Robert-
    If your PSCS3 version is fully upgraded it should read Nikon D300 files via built-in ACR without difficulty. If not, contact Adobe tech support. DNG... no thank you.
    IMO you should also be running under either OS 10.4.11 or 10.5.3.
    ACR works fine if one prefers a Photoshop Bridge or Lightroom workflow, but better NEF conversion (and IMO workflow) is available to owners of strong Macs via Apple's Aperture. Best quality NEF conversions come from Nikon View (free) and from Nikon Capture NX, but IMO Nikon's workflow is lethargic.

  • How can i import raw files into iphoto from my Nikon D300?

    Just got a Nikon D300, and it will import jpg and tff, but not raw (nef) files-i prefer iphoto to their software- Nikon says to try talking to apple to find a way to do it- does anyone know any info that can help? I need to decide if I am keeping the camera-from other posts it doesn't look like buying aperture will help either- thanks.

    I would not ditch a camera because of this! If you like the camera, there will always be a way to import Canikon RAW files, though you may need to do some upgrading, and it may take some time for Apple to support a new camera.

  • How do you open raw files (NEF from Nikon) in the edit workspace on Elements 8

    how do I get raw NEF files (from Nikon) to open in the edit workspace of elements 8?  I have windows 7 , and when I try to open NEF raw files from the viewer, it says cannot recognize the file type.
    Thanks!

    What is your camera model? Every camera has its own raw format and the raw converter must be updated to work with it. If your camera model was new in the past couple of years PSE 8 won't be able to open those files directly.

  • Which Updates are required to read RAW files from a Nikon D300

    iPhoto 6 on Tiger can't read RAW (nef) files from my Nikon D300. Can I just update to iLife'08 or do I need Leopard as well?

    AndyMm
    I'm not sure about iPhoto 08, but you will definitely need 10.5.2 for the D300.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475
    So if you don't want to update to iLife 08, try update to 10.5 first, see if that works for you.

  • Importing from Device (Nikon D300) Problem

    With my Nikon D80, when I "Import from Device" I see thumbnails of all the photos (Nikon RAW .NEF files) available for import to Lightroom and can choose those I want to import.
    However, when doing the same procedure from my Nikon D300 I cannot see previews on the Import from Device screen in Lightroom. All I see are rectangles with a cross through them and the filename.
    Has anyone encountered a similar problem and how did you solve it?
    (If I go ahead and import the .NEF files from the D300, once they are imported there is no problem. They render previews in Lightroom OK. It is just that I cannot see previews in the Import from Device screen and, therefore, can't select which to import and which to ignore.)

    Known issue with the OS - use a card reader instead.
