Nikon D7100 and FCPX

Hi,
I am trying to understand if FCPX is able to work with the RAW H264 file coming from a Nikon D7100.
I'm using FCPX since it came out, I know it is able to work with H264 file like the one coming from a Canon D5,
but I read that the H264 file from a Nikon D7100 is for some reason "different" from a "normal" H264 and FCPX does not support it.
I know I can compress it to a ProRes, (outside FCPX with compressor), but I want to know if I can use the amazing ability of FCPX to work with RAW files and compress it later.
Thank you.

You would probably find more direct help by talking to other Nikon shooters who use FCPX. M
I don't know anything about the Nikon codec or why it might be giving you trouble while others do not but have you tried simply transcoding the footage to ProRes422? Your files will expand by a factor or three or four but you will not have these difficulties.

I have recently purchased a Nikon D7100 and can no longer use Photoshop CS5 to process RAW files.What are my solutions ?

I am sure this has been asked before for similar new camera buyers, but as I have made a sizeable investment in purchasing PS 5 less than one year ago, I expect ADOBE to have an upgrade available for my new Nikon D7100 camera.
Other Software makers usually have upgrades available to download for new cameras not long after they are released.
I have seen on some photography forums where other users of my camera model have asked the same question as myself without receiving any positive advice other than to up grade to PS 6. A few suggestions do not work or are possibly illegal.
Under consumer laws, in many countries, software makers are obliged to maintain support for a reasonable period of time after release.
Come on Adobe, please help the many thousands of PS 5 and Lightroom users to use the Adobe software that they have purchased in good faith and we will move to PS 6 or 7 or 8 when we are ready.
Can we please expect an answer to this problem any time soon ?

Why did you purchase an obsolete version? One year ago Photoshop CS6 had already been out a while.
According to this list
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
support for that camera was added with Camera Raw 7.4, which means CS6 at least.

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
Adobe is not in the habit of adding support for new cameras to obsolete versions of Camera Raw.
But it offers the free DNG Converter.
Edit: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows
And camera makers are free to adopt DNG if they want to make their cameras’ output easily editable with non-proprietary software, but it seems many of them simply don’t want that.

Nikon D7100 and Premiere Pro

I have experience editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and want to upgrade to CS6. I have recently changed to using the Nikon D7100 to produce video instead of a traditional video camera. It is my understanding that Adobe does not directly support the .MOV files produced by Nikon. I am curious how many issues arise from such editing? I am an amateur user, will it be to complicated to conversions (do I even know what I am talking about)? Also does the quality of the video degrade as a result of conversion?

The files work natively in Premiere Pro CS6. Some users report that they get better performance when batch renaming clips to .mpg. Here is a thread: http://www.flickr.com/groups/nikon-d5100/discuss/72157630303565658/
It's the QuickTime wrapper which affects performance.

Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have same issue still

I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

Good day!
Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
As you should see your version is not up to the task.
You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

Elements 10 and Nikon D7100

I just bought a Nikon D7100 and shoot raw. When I try to open a NEF file in Elements 10, I get an error message saying it's the wrong file type.
Can I upgrade Elements 10 so that it will open the NEF files from the D7100? If not, will the newest version of Elements recognize and open these files?
Appreciate any assistance you can provide.

That last version of ACR listed on the downloads page for Elements 10 is 6.6.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Windows
I don't know if it supports later versions. Adobe doesn't exactly make it clear, these days. My guess is not. Anyone else?
Have you tried Help > Updates?
On the camera support page, it says you need ACR 7.4 for the D7100:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
You can always use DNG Converter make DNG copies of your raw files, which will open in Elements 10. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's free.
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/digital-negative.html#downloads
Assuming you can't update, you'll need to upgrade to the latest Elements, which will support the D7100.

Camera Raw and Nikon D7100

Hello, Camera Raw doesn't support new Nikon D7100, and there is no update available, so what are you doing with this problem ? T tried the beta 7.4 but it doesn't support either. Thank you to answer as soon as possible. Best regards. Alan.

Camera connection kid iPad 1st gen and Nikon D7100

Hi,
I use a Nikon D7100 and I am not able to load any photos to my iPad (1st generation) either through the SD slod nor with the USB cable ?
Thanks for any advice.
Gieri Carigiet

I really believe that it has something to do with the D7100. I have the iPad 3 and I'm having trouble loading pics onto my ipad at times. I have used both connectors. Sometimes I can connect my camera or my card and my ipad will say no pictures detected or something like that. The other problem is the pics will load on my ipad and when I select the photos I want to transfer, I will get a red exclamation point on the selected pic instead of the green check you see when it successfully transfers a pic to the ipad. I also have the D90. My D90 worked without any problems at all.
I reformatted my card several times. Sometimes it would transfer the pics after that, but then when you use either connector the next time it wouldn't work. I'm wondering if maybe there is something about the D7100 files that make it difficult for the ipad to read. I read elsewhere that if you change the file name to the pics, it will not be recognized via the connectors. I haven't changed any file names. When it works, it's great. The pics load fast, but take a little while longer to load than my pics from the D90. I'm sure that's because the D7100 files are larger than the D90 files. i hope that there is a fix for this problem. The pics from my D7100 displayed on my ipad look absolutely amazing. You feel like you're looking at the real live thing and that you can touch the actual object in the photo. Amazing camera! I love it!

Can't open Raw files in Photoshop CS6 using Nikon D7100?

I have a Nikon D7100 and recently did a photoshoot where I shot in Raw. Upon uploading my images and then attempting to open them in Photoshop it came up with a pop up saying that photoshop is unable to open that camera raw file. I have downloaded the adobe recommended converters but those don't seem to work either. Help?

The Nikon D7100 didn't get support until Camera Raw version 7.4; CS6 shipped with 7.0 (and is compatible up until 8.3). Did you go through Help > Updates?
Also, versions of Camera Raw above version 8.3 won't work on anything below Windows 7 or Mac 10.7. You'll have to "upgrade" to at most 8.3 to continue using it on the other operating systems.

To Cloud or not to Cloud (Nikon D7100)

I have a Nikon D7100 and posted awhile ago about Camera Raw. I finally went and purchased the cloud so I could have CS6 since my previous copy of CS5 was not going to be updated to contain my D7100 camera profile.
So I've been using the cloud and CS6 and am now wondering if I really need all this just so I can have my photos load in Adobe Bridge. Yes, it's convenient to have them in there so I only have to click on camera raw, but I'm not sure the monthly cost is worth it. I don't use ANY of the other adobe products that come with my monthly payment. No, I don't use lightroom. I am a casual photographer, trying to get better of course, but I'm wondering if I need all this!
I just tried using ViewNX2 to open all my raw photos. I saved the photos to *.tiff and then opened CS5 Adobe Bridge and voila. It works. Can anyone tell me if I'm missing out on something by doing it this way? It seems I could avoid this monthly cost by going with this workflow.
Thank you!

Can anyone tell me if I'm missing out on something by doing it this way? It seems I could avoid this monthly cost by going with this workflow.
Yes you are missing out a lot because I get the impression you don't know yet the benefit of shooting Raw over jpeg. This is a learning curve that can be made as steep as you want but basically I can tell you that shooting Raw and save as a tiff without having used the options that are provided with ACR and Photoshop to get the most out of it is not the best workflow.
Raw is the data captured by your sensor in camera and you need a Raw converter to get an image out of it. What you see of the Raw file on the back of the camera is only the jpeg preview that is included in the Raw file. Some converters give kind of a start but mostly you want your own 'signature' for your images and this needs some skills and knowledge. Shooting Jpeg is letting the camera do your work for you. If you are pleased with it all is fine, however making changes or corrections in a jpeg file is far more limited compared to a Raw file.
You have lots and lots of different options to get as much as possible out of a Raw file and besides that, color temperature is added in the converter as you wish it to be without the colors getting shifted (as will be in a jpeg file if you correct to much) and also plus or minus 1 stop exposure is not giving much trouble. But as said, you need a good Raw converter for it and some knowledge. Bridge is a good start and from there make your selection for the keepers, open in ACR, make changes and the finishing touch is made in PS. Save it to the file format you like and finally use Bridge for the last metadata, keywords, renaming etc.
I don't know anything about Nikon's ViewNX2 but as a Canon user I suspect that it is not very much different to Canon Photo Professional. For me the vendor software is utterly useless due to very slow performance and an unproductive workflow, combined with to less options to make a good image.
It all comes down to your needs and wishes. Can't look at your budget but there seems to be a possibility to only subscribe to PS (check the education section of Adobe) in the Creative Cloud.
And if you have a trial version of CC running be sure to check the version of ACR. Use Photoshop / about Plug in / camera raw. It should say 7.4 and this version opens your d7100 NEF files

In the trial version of LR5, my NEF images (taken with a Nikon D7100) are not visible

I downloaded the trial version of LR5, then imported a set of images, shot with my new Nikon D7100, and saved as both JPEG and NEF on the memory card. When I imported them to LR, the JPEG images are visible but the NEF images are grey squares--although the image info (date, size, etc) show when the cursor hovers over the square. When I click on one of the NEF squares to open the image, "Could not read preview" appears instead of the image. I've used earlier LR versions and never encountered this problem so I have no idea what is going on.

Personally, I don't understand why anyone uses that utility to download their images. The import dialog in Lightroom works perfectly to do that transfer. I don't know if Nikon Transfer is the culprit since you are using a newer version. But here is a link to a utility that you can use that is supposed to correct the problem caused by using Nikon Transfer. I have never used it, but have seen it recommended. I also have never used Nikon Transfer to download files from my Nikon cameras.

In order to tether a Nikon D7100 into Lightroom is Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 required

I have a Nikon D7100 and I have Lightoom 5. Will Lightroom recognize the D7100 without needing to have Nikon Camera Control Pro 2? If the D7100 is not yet recognized by Lightroom will the Nikon software allow for tethering into Lightoom? when might Adobe add the D7100 to recognized cameras"

No.
The D7100 is not supported for tethering in Lr.

D7100 and Adobe Bridge

I have a new Nikon D7100 and shot in camera raw as I used to with my D3000. I transferred the photos and they showed up in adobe bridge as usual, however, I can't see any of the photos and received this message:
"Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information."
I then updated everything by going to updates in Photoshop and Adobe Bridge. It said that it updated everything successfully, but I still can't see my photos in adobe bridge even though I reuploaded them from the SD card. I still get the same message.   AFter the updates, I went and checked my versions for your information. They are as follows:
Photoshop is CS5 extended V.12.0.4; Adobe Bridge V 4.0.5.11 (this is after all the updates I just ran)
Can someone please help me? I'm dying to see my new pictures!   Oh, and btw....I tried changing the camera settings to shooting in jpeg (fine) and they did upload to bridge and I can see them. This only seems to be affecting raw files.

Preliminary support for CS5? Even if that's so, eventually I will need to upgrade to CS6 if the camera is not supported in CS5 in the end. As long as I don't have to cloud it, I'm fine. LOL!   I love my apple cloud for music, documents, etc. But I really don't want to pay a monthly cost for a program I already have.
Although I can imagine your feelings I would like to explain a bit of my thoughts about these issues.
As long as the Raw problem for new dSLR is going on (way back to the start of this millennium…) there has been a lot of strong opinions about it. Some correct, some not.
However beside there are enough points to criticize Adobe, when it comes to ACR policy there is not much to get angry about to my opinion
1- they have started the open format called DNG and everyone is free to to use its converter. So in theory you could use a brand new dSLR (in your case with a bit of extra patience) and download the latest free DNG converter that supports your raw format and use the converted DNG file in say ACR in PSCS 2. In other words, this get's you the option to use brand new digital format in almost pre historic software
2- They provide a free update for ACR with the newest dSLR every 3 to 4 months a year for their latest version of PS, sometimes when your lucky in between transition to new PS version they also update both ACR for latest PS and provide a final update for PS one version back.
Given the fact that it is a lot of work ( check also this site with the long list of supported camera's : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html ) to get hold of every new camera and create the correct profiles for it to work in ACR it still is a free update for owners of the latest PS version.
If we put aside a lot of reasonable/unreasonable discussions about big companies making big money you honestly can't blame them for not putting that effort in their older software, everyone has to earn a living.
Photoshop is also a profesional set of tools with many, many options to get your work done. They do provide Adobe Elements (around $ 100) with a similar but not the same ACR option and also Adobe Lightroom (around $ 150) that has the same ACR engine in a slightly different interface.
Most dSLR that are being used for pro / semi pro and serious amateur use start at about 1000 to 1500 dollar and run to very high amounts (I recently bought the Canon 1Dx) so one would expect that a photographer serious about getting a very good dSLR should also be keen on the best options for software to get the most out of it.
Again personally I was not keen on the changing upgrade policy for Adobe to change the upgrade policy. First you where able to change to CS1 from PS 1, meaning once bought a version of PS you could upgrade always to the latest version no matter what prior version you owned.
Then around CS2 I believe they changed it to only upgrade from 3 version back (which for me is reasonable)
Last year they changed it to only one version back. Running a small business myself I always used PS upgrades (I skipped CS5.5 but that was more a luxury update) and I also did profit from more stability, speed and some options as well as ever improved ACR process. But for some it might be a bit to much with only 1 version update.
On the other hand an update for PS was not all that much money, compared to complete Suite Updates PS was already an exception with same upgrade price for 3 versions, most Suites had different (higher) pricing for older versions.
And now we have the Creative Cloud. Whether we like it or not, it seems Adobe is heading to this direction and already 500.000 subscribers have joined permanent:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2013/03/half-a-million-people-now-subscribing-to-creative-clo ud.html
And it also seems not only a new profit model has been at the base of this, also the ever increasing market of software piracy was a big reason to change to this new way of working.
Again personally I'm still a bit ambivalent about the CC depending on future planning for it. But currently I have a subscription to the CC (the first year offer was unbelievable low priced) and have access to the latest versions of almost all Adobe products for 35 dollar a month and when continuing for only 50 dollar a month.
I say 'only' knowing that not everyone will be agreeing with this but for me having predictable monthly cost and access to the complete Master Collection (including LightRoom, Premiere Pro, InDesign and Illustrator). I primarily use PS and Bridge but have some need for ID and Illustrator. By far not enough to buy a whole Suite or the individual application so for me this is a perfect solution to have access for a fair price.
There seems to be a route (search for educational) to subscribe to only PS in the CC and that seems around 20 dollar a month. I know the idea of hire software is a bit strange but according to the legal agreements we all click on for granted upon install also state you do not own the software your self but bought the right to use it
And to end this very long story, be aware that once CS7 is available on the market you loose your right to upgrade from CS5 and need to buy a full version, and as for CS6, the new 2012 ACR process that came with CS6 is worth alone the upgrade price to my opinion
