Nikon D90 in CS3 - Project Setting?

I'm waiting on delivery of some HD footage shot with a Nikon D90.
I've never created an HD project in CS3; there do not appaear to be any presets for HD other than HDV. Can anyone advise on how I would go about setting up an HD project?
Thanks!

If you have the last updates for CS3 (which would be v3.2.0), you'll have both P2 MXF presets, and XDCAM HD/EX presets. Check what version you're running, and if you're only on 3.0 or similar, run the Updater (Help > Updates).
You can create a custom project setting by selecting the General tab in the New Project dialog. There, under Editing Mode, you'll find an option called "Desktop" which lets you customize all parameters, including frame size, frame rate, PAR, field order and so on. Build one that matches your footage, and save it as a preset so you can go back to it later. There are quite a few threads here on the forums about editing D90 footage; a lot of them are about editing using CS4, but some are about CS3.

  • Nikon D90 Updates for Lightroom 1.4 & Photoshop CS3

    Does anyone know when Adobe will provide updates to read Nikon D90 Camera Raw files for Lightroom 1.4 & Photoshop CS3? Based on what I have heard from the Nikon forum Lightroom & Photoshop cannot read the D90 raw files. I was planning on upgrading my camera, but there is no point if I can't read the files.
    Thanks,
    Bevan

    OK, let me see if I'm following along here:
    The D90 produces an new kind of NEF file, different even from the D3 or D300 on which the D90 is (more or less?) based?
    We will have to wait patiently for Adobe to create an update for both ACR and LR2, which should happen within 60-90 days (allowing for 4 times/yr). Could be as soon as October, since Photokina is at the end of September.
    OK, my D80 still works great in the meantime.
    Where I am getting a tad confused though is re: the "DNG" conversion. I understand that is a universal "digital negative" format supported by Adobe, and that NEF files from Nikon DLSRs can be converted to DNG -- that's an option when importing into Lightroom.
    But, if Lightroom can't read a D90 NEF file, how can it convert it to a DNG?
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop CS3 unable to import Nikon D90 RAW NEF Files?

    I'm working on MAC with the latest OS and CS3 Photoshop and Lightroom 1.4.1 I'm looking for a way to import the latest Nikon NEF RAW files into Adobe. Will I need to wait for Adobe RAW 5 plugin? I cannot open the latest Nikon NEF Files from the new Nikon D90 slr camera...Any suggestions? Or a date for the new Camera RAW plug
    in??
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    ACR 5 will NOT work with CS3, only with CS4.
    For CS3
    and your camera you need ACR 4.6, a nominally beta Release Candidate downloadable from Adobe Labs.

  • Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Help... Why is my Photoshop CS3 not recognizing my NEF file from my new Nikon D7100, but will recognize NEF's from my old Nikon D90?

    Because many of the camera makers slightly alter their versions of their raw format whenever they release a new camera model.
    Nikon does it, Canon does it, and also several other camera makers.
    There is not a single version of NEF that all Nikon cameras use, nor a single version of CR2 for all Canon models.
    Here is a list of supported cameras and the required ACR plugin needed to open the raw files.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Versions of ACR are specific to each version of Photoshop.
    Older versions of PS cannot use the latest version of ACR.
    You need to download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter.
    This will convert your newer 7100 files to DNGs that can then be opened in older versions like CS3.
    Be aware DNG only works on folders of files, not individual files. Select the FOLDER not a single file

  • Best settings to render video in HD and best for web, from Nikon D90?

    Hi all. I am just starting to try video edition. Ive got a Nikon D90. I'm using Premiere CS5. I did a video, dropped the .avi files on the workflow and everything went fine, rendered on  Quicktime format/preset NTSC DV 24p. Got two questions:
    1) Is there any recommended setting to start a project, and;
    2) Any recommended setting to both render on its highest  quality and an internet quality?
    And same for audio (got a zoom H4N), recording in best WAV quality.
    Thanks in advance!

    More close to home: Adobe TV.
    1. Drag a clip from the project panel into the New Item icon like this;
    2. Depends on which player you want to use.

  • Nikon D90 & Tethering with Aperture

    I bought the Nikon D90 because Apple says it is supported by Aperture, but
    all of the tethering options are greyed out. I have download the Camera
    Control Pro 2 and gotten it to work but I can not get Aperture to work.
    What am I doing wrong??? Does anyone else have the D90 & Aperture
    Tethering working? If so could you please tell me how you got it to work?
    Any help would be appreciated!!

    I had the problem with my D80 initially too. Change your USB setting under the SETUP menu to PTP. Then plug the USB into your computer. Make sure you select a/the project you want the tethered shots to enter from your D90 on the import page. Open the tether dialog again and you should be able the "start session". From there, just leave the import page by clicking on the project you are shooting into.
    I know love tethered shooting. You can even fire the shutter from the computer, which I didn't know. Good luck

  • Nikon D90 footage: Can you edit natively in Final Cut?

    Just wondering if anyone has been using the new Nikon D90 to shoot video, and then importing the footage natively into FCP6. The camera's video-recording format, from what I have read, is 720p24, an .avi file, and a Motion JPEG codec.
    I see that in the settings for a Final Cut sequence, you can choose 1280X720 frame size, a true 24 frames per second rate, and either a Motion JPEG A or Motion JPEG B compressor. It seems like with these settings, you could put your footage into the timeline and not have to render it before editing . . . unless the .avi file format goofs it up. Can you edit .avi in Final Cut natively, or do you have to use a Quicktime file?
    Any workflow advice much appreciated,
    Jim

    No, sorry to say, I do not own the camera. And in looking around the web for an original, as-shot-by-the-D90 clip to experiment with, the only ones I found were at this site:
    http://www.dpreview.com/news/0809/08090101nikond90samplegallery.asp
    They were billed as: D90 sample movie 1 • original .AVI format • 21 seconds, 35.7 MB
    and: D90 sample movie 3 • original .AVI format • 9 seconds, 24.5 MB
    So I downloaded them, imported them into Final Cut, and they showed up with settings in the browser of: 1280X720 and 24 fps (so far so good) but then a compressor setting of "Apple OpenDML JPEG" rather than what I was expecting, Motion JPEG, which is what the D90 spec is. If the clip was truly "original .AVI format," I would have expected the compressor setting to be Motion JPEG.
    Then, when I tried to change the sequence settings to Apple OpenDML JPEG, I found that there is no such setting. My thought was if the size, 1280X720, the frame rate, 24, and the compressor settings all matched, you could edit natively. And when I dragged the clip into the timeline, it did not give me a dialogue box asking if I would like the sequence settings to match the clip, the way it does with some footage.
    Yes, you can render the clip and then edit it, but it would be great to avoid that step. Anyway, I got the red bar in the timeline with every combination of sequence compressor settings I tried, maybe 10 of them.
    So maybe the answer is some time is needed for Final Cut to support the D90's Motion JPEG files natively, though I believe that is an older codec. Too bad the D90 does not record in something like DVCPRO HD. For a $1000 camera, the image quality looks pretty good, and the shallow depth of field really turned my head. I was thinking it might be a cheap Red Rock or Letus killer.
    Thanks for the input,
    Jim

  • I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS.  I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

    I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS.  I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

    You would need at least CS3 with ACR 4.6 to natively edit NEFs from a D90 in PS:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    It might also work to use the DNG Converter 4.6 or newer to convert the NEF files to DNGs and then those might open in your older CS2 ACR, but I’m not sure, since it’s a 9 year old program I haven’t used in years.
    The DNG Converter can be found, here:

  • Imoprting RAW images from my Nikon D90 into iphotos

    I'm sorry I know this must be pretty basic but I am having problems importing my RAW images into iphotos. I have a Nikon D90 and I shoot in both jpeg and RAW - when I import the images from the camera into iphoto it imports two images but they are both jpegs and of course when I upload the either of them into Photoshop - Photoshop does not open up with the RAW convertor because the image has come across as a jpeg.
    1) Have I lost my RAW images - if not how do I get them back, and
    2) What should I be doing in the future to avoid this?
    Sorry to trouble you with such basic info - but you know what it is like - it can be so frustrating until you get it right,
    Thanks
    Ray

    when I import the images from the camera into iphoto it imports two images but they are both jpegs
    They're not.
    Processing Raw in iPhoto
    When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically creates a jepg preview of the file. Why? Because you cannot do anything with a Raw: you cannot print it, use it a slideshow and so on. However, with this preview you can work with the photo immediately. (Which kind of makes shooting Raw and Jpeg perhaps a little pointless?)
    You can, however, also process the Raw in iPhoto simply by editing it. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut). The output from the processing then replaces the preview. You can choose to save your output as either jpeg or tiff in the iPhoto Preferences.
    When you are processing Raw in iPhoto you will see the Raw badge on the bottom of the iPhoto Window
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Note: After you have processed a Raw, subsequent edits to the photo are carried out on the processed jpeg (or tiff) not the Raw. If you want to go back to the original then you need to use the Photos -> Reprocess Raw command.
    Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
    You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
    First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
    Now for the kludge:
    You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you *must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file*.
    This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots. Add that to your jpeg from the Raw and Jpeg shooting and now you'll have three versions of the shot...

  • When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
    I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

  • Initial Nikon D90 observations

    As stated in a previous post I recently purchased a Nikon D90 and have played with it this weekend. Tonight I loaded the photos into Aperture and made several observations:
    1. for some reason the photos did not appear on the import screen while they were still in the camera. However, the photos did import into Aperture
    2. The D90 photos appear to be very soft compared to the Canon G9 photos. This requires more sharping than the G9. I have not been able to find a way to sharpen the photos in D90
    3. The sharpening tool in RAW fine tuning doesn't do much. In fact turning all the way up and zooming in I can't tell any changes as I move the sliders back and forth. This requires the use of the Edge Sharpen tool. As stated above, the photos are soft and need some sharpening.
    4. The auto exposure is to aggressive making the photos over exposed. I need to turn the effect down after completing the auto exposure.
    5. All photos are saved as both RAW and JPG Fine. However, only the RAW files are imported into Aperture. As a result, I am not able to determine the JPG quality and compare to the RAW files. Not sure why only RAW and not JPG's are imported into Aperture.
    What observations do others have for the Nikon D90? Do you experience the same issues? What did you do to resolve the issues?
    Thanks

    Images captured in RAW have not been sharpened so will appear relatively soft. Add sharpening in Aperture as desired.
    JPEG images from either camera have sharpening applied as set in the camera menus.

  • Correct PPro CS3 Project Settings for Neoscene/Cineform 1080 60i .avi files?

    I am looking for clarification on the correct Premiere CS3 project settings for AVCHD 1080 60i NTSC files converted with Neo Scene with the "maintain source frame format" option.
    Should the PPro project settings for "Field" be upper or lower field first?
    On a Cineform discussion board I was told all interlaced HD footage is upper field first.
    However, I have found that a PPro project setting of upper field first results in much more sluggish playback than lower field first.
    So seems there is additional processing needed with the upper field first project setting and this suggests to me that lower field first is the proper setting.
    Any thoughts from NeoScene/Cineform users out there?
    Thanks!
    The project settings I have been using are:
    Editing Mode: Desktop
    Timebase: 29.97
    Frame size: 1920 x 1080
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: Lower Field First
    Audio: 48000

    ...is not so good - bad colours. In Microsoft DV Avi-DV Pal compression. D1/DV PAL Wide is pixelate. I have click the de-interlace so it is not because of that. I have no problem to use encore it the file i send is compressed in those settings i mention before. I have no problems in compressing the file with those settings at all, like i have when i want to transfor the video in avi uncompressed.
    Oaaa...i am going crazy here. I have had so many problems with this and if i end up working this documentary and not beeing able to export it i go mad!...this if i do not go there before because of this problems...

  • Nikon d90 in LabView

    Hi All,
    We usually run a couple of ethernet cameras into our labview program. We've bought a Nikon D90 SLR though, and I'm trying to see if it's possible to have image acquisition on LabView via either the firewire or USB cables...
    Any ideas?

    Dear Paul,
    we do manufacture special scanners for museum/library www.metis-digital.com. I write most of the software in Labview, sometimes using NI-IMAQ and NI Vision and sometime using a special set of imaging VI which I wrote in C++ during several years.
    We do have two lines of products (and software).
    A) High cost Professional planetary scanner up to the 2A0 format. They integrate our own designed camera-link camera and we use a NI-1426 frame grabber and NI vision software (for which we have to purchase a license for every run-time we distribute). I anyway also use some of my imaging VI here because they are generally faster compared to NI. Futhermore some NI imaging VIs are buggy and nobody noticed since Labview 7.11 !
    B) Low cost Semi-professional planetary  scanner up to the A1 format based on a Canon DLSR camera. I had to write most of the imaging library used in this scanner/software because we cannot add the NI Vision RUN-Time cost to the scanner price. Still use some imaging VI from the available ones in Labview (Vision Common resources). So, no NI-IMAQ or Vision here, and the integration of the Canon camera into Labview was done using a third part ActiveX module (TCamRemote). 
    We want now to integrate a Nikon camera into the existing line of scanners (B). But we cannot find a Labview compatible driver or ActiveX or .NET wrapper of the Nikon SDK. I guess we just have to write our own wrapper... 
    Why did you ask ? Do you have any idea that could help us integrating the Nikon SDK (not just file transfer but the whole functionality of course) ?
    Best regards
    Massimo Colagrande

  • Import Premiere CS3 Project into AE

    New to the Mac CS3 universe. Imported a Premiere CS3 project into AE.
    Brought it in and AE made a comp from the sequence and sources from all
    the media. Thought everything was fine till I scrubbed the timeline and
    discovered that the Title items I had placed on my Premiere timeline
    appeared to be just alpha channels. The text had not come along with the
    footage.
    Did I miss a step in Premiere? Used to AE and Vegas on my old Winbox, so
    this CS3 integration is a nice change, but occasionally get trip ups
    such as this on the learning curve.

    Ok thanks, that helps me quite a bit. The footage is all numbered sequentially so Im not mixing it up (9x1 hour blocks), but the framerates could be causing the problem. If the imported footage is HD 1440x1080 @ 25fps in Premiere, I have created a new project also set at HDV1080i 25 (50i) and imported the timeline. I then save this and import to AE, but am still getting the same problem. I know that Ive done the process backwards (premiere then AE), but out of curiosity, can you yourself get premiere transitions to work in AE? Cause I might ask adobe for new install discs if you can.
    Cheers

  • Codec for Nikon D90 footage

    I'm playing around with Nikon D90 footage for the first time. It imports as an Apple Open DML Jpeg 1280x720, 24 FPS file.
    Any recommendation as to which Codec or sequence setting I should use to keep as much quality of the raw?
    Thanks,
    mp

    I'm on a MacPro with FCP 6. I do not have an SDI connection or RAID Array drives, so uncompressed is out of the question. I wonder how much of a difference there is between uncompressed and Apple Prores, aside from a huge file size disparity. I think I will play with Apple Prores HQ.
