Nikon D7000 & CS5.5

This one has me a little stumped.
A producer I work with has recently purchased a Nikon D7000 camera. We have a major project coming up, so we decided to run some tests of the footage and Premiere Pro 5.5, as we'll probably want to take advantage of the new Merge Clips feature.. The results are more than a little disappointing (and confusing).
The camera uses H.264 compression in an MOV container. (Bleck! I feel dirty just having that foul Apple junk on my system. But that's another issue.) It produces stand alone files, no folder structure to worry about. Playback in 5.5 is very choppy, regardless of Playback Resolution. Export takes about 3X real time, and uses less than 20% CPU cycles, whether doing it directly or through AME.
The same clips in the same sequence play smooth as butter in 5.0.3. They export faster than real time using 100% of the CPU, both directly and through AME.
Both DV and RED clips seem to play fine in 5.5.
I'm not sure what to make of this 5.5 degradation. Any ides out there?

Glad that helped.
I wish ADOBE would create a web based database that someone could check their camera and see how it works with Premiere. I know Premiere isn't made for every camera out there but sometimes that is what the client or friend brings you.
Little things like just changing the .MOV to .MPG and now something works would help allot of people.
Maybe Todd or someone else could make a help page for us giving suggestions for the best way to bring in footage from different cameras.
Im sure it was set up some of the mods here wouldn't mind running it and adding to it.
Anything to make it easier for new people to use Premiere is better in the long run.

Nikon D7000 .MOV files in Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5

I recently upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. Initially Nikon D7000 .MOV files used in previous CS5 Premiere Pro project would not play well in CS5.5. Now .MOV files do work in both PP and AE CS5.5. Here are the steps I followed. Not recommending you follow my steps exactly, just providing info for those that are interested.
1.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5 and open previous PP CS5 project, convert project to CS5.5 and rename project file as not to replace previous CS5 project file.
a.       At this point .MOV files do not play in new project or in AE CS5.5
b.      Close Premiere Pro and After Effect if still running.
2.       Using Adobe Bridge CS5.5, batch rename;
a.       Make copies of original files to new folder location while renaming file extension from .MOV to .mpg
b.      Let Adobe Bridge finish creating all new thumbnail previews.
c.       Leave Bridge running in background.
3.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5, let Premiere finish recreating thumbnail previews if needed.
a.       Attempt to preview existing .MOV file in project. It worked for me.
b.      Attempt to play sequence containing .MOV files. It worked for me.
c.       Attempt to play or modify sequence .MOV files in AE CS5.5 via Dynamic Link within Premiere. It worked for me.
d.      Close Premiere Pro project and AE projects if open.
4.       Create new Premiere Pro project and sequence
a.       Import a different Nikon D7000 .MOV file not previously used or renamed.
b.      Attempt to play this newly imported .MOV file. This worked for me as well.
c.       The new, previously un-renamed .MOV file also worked in AE CS5.5 for me.
I will perform additional tests but at the moment Nikon D7000 .MOV files are working for me in CS5.5 after initially performing a batch rename in Bridge CS5.5 from .MOV to .mpg and letting Bridge create preview files. Even .MOV files not renamed now work.
An example of Nikon D7000 footage edited with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, After Effects CS5.5, and Sound Booth CS5 can be seen on my blog, http://stevelandonsmyth.typepad.com/steve-landon-smyths-blog/2011/07/my-first-hd -video-shoot-with-nikon-d7000.html

Hello,
I see 2 post in this thread from Todd that say they are working on a fix and it should be out soon. One is from July, the other from August. It is now Sept 7th and I still see no patches or fixes for any bugs. I spent 400 dollars on an upgrade, but is this upgrade going to be supported?
This is making me rethink upgrading to the .5's in the future.
It is a minor bug to most, but in that sense it should be an easy quick fix. Am I wrong? Is this really a complicated issue?
I apologize if this comes off like a rant, but thats kinda what it is. It is not hard to batch rename files, but its a pain to have to relink all those files in PP.

HT3825 I can't open Nikon D7000 raw files in Photoshop CS5. Any ideas how to do it

I can't open Nikon D7000 raw files in Photoshop CS5. Any ideas how to do it

This page might help.
Note that your question does not relate to Apple software nor hardware.

I reinstalled photoshop CS5 on my new laptop . I'm unable to update camera Raw to add Nikon D7000 camera .

I have reinstalled Photoshop CS5 extened on my new Laptop . I had deactivated and un installed the program from my pc first .I cannot update camera raw to include my Nikon D7000 camera . I now have hundreds of NEF Raw files which I cannot open in Photoshop .

Hi
Thanks for the info . The problem is it appears to me that you can only convert to dng while importing from the camera in bridge . My files have been imported and I can't see how to convert . As adobe don't support CS5 I think I'm snookered .
Thanks

CS4 will not open Nikon D7000 NEF files; Is there a DNC that will open them?

I have CS4 and Light Room 2
Apparently there is no Camera Raw update for the new Nikon D7000 NEF files for CS4.
I therefore down loaded the Adobe Digital Negative Converter Verson 6.3.0.79 which is compatible with Camera Raw 5.4 or later.
Using that DNC, when I do step 1, "Select the images to convert" I get the message "No items match your search". It apparently is not recongnizing the D7000 NEF files.
Is there another DNC that will open and convert the D7000 NEF files?

I just bought the d7000 yesterday and was experiencing the same issue with cs4. I downloaded the DNG converter from adobe and selected the whole folder where the raw files were located (I was unable to select individual images) and it worked fine. It processed the files one by one with new name (without the $500 CS5 pricetag for now). The DNG files open in bridge and psd. Perhaps try selecting the folder? Good luck.

Nikon D7000 .nef files

I have a Nikon D7000 camera which creates raw files - .nef and my version of CS5 is not able to open them directly. Does the latest version of CS5 resolve this problem?

I'm in the same boat here. What I've done so far is to use Adobe DNG Converter (free) to convert the NEF to DNG. Then drag the folder with the DNG files into iPhoto.
With another batch of files I converted to DNG, then did the sorting and editing in Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw. Then converted the whole bunch to jpg and imported them into iPhoto. I also imported only the highest rated DNG images. (Note that any Camera Raw processing will not be used by iPhoto, but it remains in the DNG file)

I need to convert Nikon D7000 Camera NEF files. I have a Mac )SX 10.6.8 & Adobe CS4.

I just bought a Nikon D7000 camera & need to convert Nikon RAWS (NEF) files & they are not recognized by my Adobe CS4 on my Mac 0sX 10.6.8
Do I need to update to CS5 or CS6. Also, would like the new software to allow me to still convert older pre-existing RAWS that are in my photo archives.

Don't worry. Every newly supported camera model in any given version of Adobe Camera Raw will be supported in ALL subsequent versions of ACR.
The very last version of ACR that will work with CS4 is 5.7.
If your camera in not supported by ACR 5.7, you need to upgrade your version of Photoshop, or download and use the free stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw files to raw DNGs first. Always download the latest versions of said free stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter (3 or 4 per year), currently DNG Converter 7.1. DNGs can be processed with any version of ACR starting with version 2.4.
To see what was the first version of ACR to support your camera model was see:

ACR/LR3.3 and Nikon D7000 - magenta color mismatch?

I recently purchased the Nikon D7000. The NEF RAW files are not supported in current versions of LR and CS5.
Downloaded and installed LR 3.3RC. Also downloaded and installed ACR 6.3R1.
Both work with the D7000 NEF-files with ONE exception. If I shoot a "Multiple Exposure" (one feature of the D7000) the resulting image in both LR and ACR displays in strong "pink"/magenta. All other images display correctly.
If I open the pink images in Nikon Capture NX2 2.2.6 they open correctly.
If I use the White Balance tool (pipette) in LR, I can bring the image back to "almost normal" but the WB values then are Temp: 2150, Tint: -138. Conclusion: the Multi Exposure Image from the D7000 is completely mismatched by LR/ACR. But they are correctly matched by Capture NX2.
This obviously needs to be corrected before final release.
Has anyone else expreienced the same? Is there a workaround?

Does Photoshop work better with Canon EOS 7D or Nikon D7000?

18.0 megapixels - Canon EOS 7D
16.2 megapixels - Nikon D7000
Also, I keep reading the best digital image format to work with in Photoshop CS5.5 is RAW.
Is this right?
Thank you.

You should know that the sensors are made or at least created by the same company it is a question of specification by the manufacturer that determines which sensor and advance standard the sensor is made.
That being the case Canon has traditional jump the gun to select the more advanced technology rather than wait for that technology to be 100% perfected as in a full frame 35mm format sensor.
Also they have consistently favored larger pixel count over quality of the pixel itself and use software (the firmware) to smooth the result giving it that slightly soft quality.
They do this with their lenses as well in particular to their Shift Tilt lenses which had to be updated since Nikon waited and were very successful with that update as well.
It is not that the cameras as not popular or good but if they wait they might be able to give their customers the better product.
Like the sensors the Shift Tilt lenses seem to be made by the same company but with different specification and perhaps different glass.
The two cameras you are speaking of are not their high end cameras but like all the products both companies make they are good depending on what you need.
And counting pixels is kind of ridiculous these days as the New 1DX has a lower pixel count then its predecessors because they found that making larger pixels enable them to control the noise better as Nikon discovered.
I still use the D3 and my client in Paris often enlarges the images to over a meter in hieght with amazing detail and it could easily be resampled much larger.
And you are talking about 12.1 megapixels to start with so the game of pixel has some meaning but not much.
When they perfect the noise control for smaller pixels then the technology for a larger pixel count will have some weight right now that is not the case although from what the they claim about the 1Dx might prove to be an indication that they hav made some strides in this direction it reamins to be seen if Canon has jump the gun again which I suspect they have done.
Doing things in a rush is often the slower way to a goal.
Let see if Canon jump the gun again. I would think Nikon woud have been on it if they thought the tehnology was finished they get the sensors from the same place.
So far all I have seen is that the body looks good?

Nikon D7000 v camera RAW

My new Nikon D7000 RAW shots dont open in CS3 with Camera RAW 4.6. Sigh! What do I need to do?

Pick one of the following options:
Option 1: Use the Latest Free DNG converter.
Have All Your Current Capabilities, But With An Extra Step for You To Perform.
You can download the latest Adobe DNG converter, which knows about the raw files your new camera produces and can convert them to DNG files your older version of Photoshop can open via the Camera Raw plug-in. This is not as integrated an approach as using all new software to go with your all-new camera, but it DOES make it possible for you to use your brand new camera in Raw mode and get exactly the same functionality out of your old Photoshop that you always did.
You would download and install the very latest version of the DNG Converter (6.4 at the moment) then whenever you want to edit raw images you'll go through a process something like this:
1. Upload the raw .NEF files from your camera into a folder on your hard drive.
2. Run the DNG Converter application and select the folder (it works on folders, not files).
3. Convert all the .NEF files to .DNG files.
4. Open the .DNG files into your current version of Photoshop through its Camera Raw dialog, which understands the DIgital Negative format.
Read How to Download Adobe DNG Converter for Windows
Read How to Download Adobe DNG Converter for Mac OS
Option 2: Upgrade to Photoshop CS5
New CS5 Capabilities, Full Integration, More Convnenience.
You can upgrade your Photoshop to the latest version, in which Camera Raw knows about the raw files your new camera produces and can open them directly. This gives you maximum integration with Bridge as well. And you get the new 2010 process for converting Raw files and new Photoshop CS5 features.

Matching my Nikon D7000 preview

I am having real trouble getting Phtoshop/Raw to mimic the colouring on the preview screen of my Nikon D7000.
The preview screen is accurate to my eye, for colour rendition, but when I import the raw files and edit using RAW/CS5, I cannot get the colours to match.
This tends to happen in sunsets in particular, where dusky pinks are not rendered correctly, ending up too orange in hue.
I have tried many editing changes, hue/saturation/camera profiles etc. but cannot get it to match.
Any help / advice gratefully received.

Try to read books and tutorials, as well as to watch video tutorials, on Camera Raw and Photoshop. Google and you'll find a lot of them.
The best of the books were the Real World Adobe Camera Raw series from Jeff Schewe (initially with the late Bruce Fraser). They stopped releasing them after CS4 or CS6.
Jeff Schewe has one now called the Digital Negative, I believe.
Adobe TV could have good video tutorials too.

What you are asking for in your last post is practically to be taught ACR and Photoshop from the ground up, and that exceeds the scope of any forum.
One other important factor to keep in mind is that you are leaving a lot of image quality behind if you are converting your raw files in a version earlier than ACR 7.4, which requires at least CS6 to run. The current version is ACR 8.6.
It's a shame not to get the best quality you can from your Nikon camera.

Camera Raw for Elements 7 enabling use of Nikon D7000

I use Elements 7 with Camera Raw 4.5 I now wish to edit RAW
images from a Nikon D7000. How do I go about obtaining the r
elevant Camera Raw download for use with Elements 7 which will enable me to view and process
Nikon D7000 RAW images?

The last version of Adobe Camera RAW that PSE7 will work with is ACR 5.6, and that does not support the newer D7000.
Either buy PSE9, or download the latest DNG Converter 6.3 and convert your NEFs to DNGs and open those with the older ACR.
You can get the downloads for both ACR 5.6 and the DNG Convert 6.3 by going to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and using the dropdown at the top to find Camera RAW for your computer type. If you update Camera RAW then be sure to use the PSE-specific instructions on the page or in the readme. The DNG Converter is a standalone program that operates on an entire folder of RAWs at a time.

How can I edit a Nikon D7000 .nef file using Photoshop Element 8?

In order to read and edit a picture taken in RAW format by a Nikon D7000, using Photoshop Element 8, what should I do? Any plug in that I should download?

The D7000 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 which is compatible with Elements 9 or later
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Either upgrade to Elements 12 or use the Adobe DNG converter to convert D7000 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 8.
