Nikon has now incorporated 4K video into many of its cameras, and in the last few significant DSLRs it’s managed to deliver a very credible set of specs for those who may be otherwise swayed by what Panasonic or Sony is offering. The Z7 follows these, with a strong set of video specs based around 4K recording to the 4K UHD (3840×2160 pixels) standard. The Z7 can capture 8bit internal footage and output 10bit footage through its HDMI out, and footage can be saved in both MOV and MP4 container formats.
Many users are eager to share the videos with their friends and family members on computer or some portable devices once they capture some interesting scenes. However, these camcorders all take videos in 4K MOV and MP4 format which is hard to be supported and afforded by Windows and Mac. If you are professional editing software user, such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Fianl Cut Express, Sony Vegas Pro, etc, you will be in trouble. Because these editing software doesn’t support Nikon Z7 footage importing and editing well.
"I just bought a Nikon Z7, it records MP4 footages, now I want to convert them to a compatible format that I can play them on my Samsung Smart TV, I also have a Mac, so can you recommend a software that can do this on windows and Mac?"
"Why I can’t preview Nikon Z7 recordings in Final Cut Pro 7? I can’t edit my 4K videos on my Mac at all. Come on, please give me some ideas about the protect."
As far as I know, it’s not easy to transfer Nikon Z7 footage to multimedia devices like Samsung/Sony/LG/Vizio Smart TV, iPad Pro, MediaPad M4, Galaxy Tab S4, Surface Go, Google Pixelbook, Galaxy Note 9, iPhone X, etc. for playback. And it’s not easy to import and edit Nokon Z7 footages in some editing program.
