As a videographer who owns a Nikon DSLR camera like Nikon D810, D5100, D600, D800, D4, D3200, D7100, etc, you may usually encounter some importing issues when attempting to edit Nikon MOV files in Adobe After Effects CS4/CS5/CS6/CC. Let’s see some frequently asked questions on this.
Q1: Nikon DSLR D7000 to After Effects
“I have a Nikon DSLR D7000 that can capture 1080 24p videos as .mov files. I'm looking for the best way to edit these files in AE and Premiere. I googled for it and found that I should convert the video before importing it. Is there a simple way to make it? Any suggested video app I need?”
Q2: Nikon MOV After Effects CS6 render issues
“I use my D5100 for a 365 video project. The files out of camera look fine viewed in QucikTime or WMP. When I started editing the Nikon MOV files in AE CS6, I noticed there is a green/magenta posterization that occurs. How can I edit Nikon MOV fin After Effects without the issues?”
As you see, many folks are talking about how to import Nikon MOV into After Effects for editing without problems. Well, although Adobe claimed it supports MOV, the highly compressed H.264 encoded .mov is not ideal for editing yet- even if Adobe AE can successfully ingest your videos, it still needs a long time for rendering. If you want to use an easy way to solve the trouble, you can convert Nikon MOV to a Adobe After Effects native format(like MPEG-2), for directly transferring to Adobe AE for further editing. Along with some help from Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac, it can be done.
