Edit Nikon ZR footage in Final Cut Pro

Nikon Z7 video to Final Cut Pro workflow

The Nikon ZR essentially takes a Z6 III, lops off the viewfinder and mechanical shutter, and wraps it into a video-friendly shell. It records 12-bit Raw video in an all-new R3D NE format, which doesn't have the full color depth of Red's 16-bit R3D files, but otherwise mimics the look and feel, and offers the same flexibility. Features include 32-bit float audio, advanced autofocus, dual-base ISO, and up to 6K60 video capture in REDCODE, N-RAW, or ProRes RAW.

Users Reviews

Acrok Video Converter Ultimate runs on a pretty high amount of system resources and quickly finishes a transcoding job without causing us any difficulties along the way. 4K Blu-ray disc cracking function is my favorite. I can rip and convert 4K Blu-ray movies to H.264 MP4 for playing on Samsung 4K TV via USB flash drive.
