It’s as if the raw announcement was marketing hype to gain sales. The z6 isn’t a bad camera but with the s1 being similarly priced to the z6+ninja v and the bmpcc4k being significantly cheaper, lots of people bought the camera probably because of the raw announcement. I feel bad for all of you who did so. Honestly they may never announce it. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't show how to setup Raw, but she does mention ProRes and ProRes Raw at the 45 second mark. Says something to the effect that it "preserves the camera's raw sensor data". So, it sounds to me like it's still on the table. Interesting times. ? Queued up here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Definitely ProRes RAW. Still do not like external recorders. After watching the video I realized how good the BlackMagic menus are! webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docmoore Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The new firmware (2.01) for the Z6 and Z7 addresses a couple of bugs in the previous eye AF firmware upgrade (2.0) This is not the highly anticipated Raw upgrade .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why this takes so long. Would’ve been much easier if they have us DNG raw internal, but they want that $$ from brand deals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 31, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted July 31, 2019 Probably Q/A process is fucking pedantic at Nikon. Nevertheless, why don't they just come out and give us an update and a new ETA. It's a bit strange. They are ominously quiet about it.

I mentioned the other week that Atomos are also way overdue with the NDI and Timecode modules for the Ninja V so the issues may be at that end as well if Atomos' attention is on getting those out. My side bet is still on there being some licensing issues with you know who. sanveer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell64 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Let’s just say my favorite color is no longer RED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I think Red cameras are done in the long run unless they Really drop their prices big time. The Chinese company's will eat them alive in the long run. So I think it is more of a money grab right now on these Patent fights.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on preferred workflow etc. Personally, at this point I would still choose the Z6+Ninja over the s1 because its Prores and it has lenses.

hansel Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Just think about prores workflow for resolve on windows..... ...put in ssd, convert the lot to an editable pc format and then edit away? This does not sound like a sensible way of working for pc people. Atomos can do Cinema DNG as well. Regarding Red, why would Nikon be chased away by them? I would imagine Nikon has a longer breath? And why the hell do they need Atomos in this? No patent can stop them saving NEF straight to card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted August 1, 2019 Super Members Share Posted August 1, 2019 Why would you need to convert on a PC? All the PCs Ive ever used edits Prores just fine. hansel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to test again, but when I was interested in the Z6 raw update, I downloaded Prores sample files and I remember it did not work well on my PC. I have a beefy configuration and have no problem using raw, h265 etc. But I repeat, I am not sure, just old "souvenirs"... and I remember I was disappointed cause I was eagerly waiting for the raw update ? I will try again and let you know (and it can also be a user error from me... in fact, must be that, cause I trust more Mattias than my memory ahah !). hansel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine Nikon has a longer breath? It is not necessarily at Nikon's end of the HDMI cable. Atomos had a lawsuit with RED (which coincidentally, or not, was filed within weeks of Atomos announcing ProRes RAW recording) that was settled with them having to license RED's IP. Whether this license has created additional hurdles/costs is one potential reason for the delay as it is in the Atomos end (ie the recording of a compressed RAW signal) where any infringement would occur. Having said that, its also worth remembering I suppose that this will be the first camera that can record ProResRAW over HDMI rather than SDI so the delay could also be caused by the good old fashioned more prosaic reason of it needing a bit more work than was imagined Mind you, based on my personal experience of buying RED products in the past, that is so much a part of their brand DNA that it wouldn't surprise me if they'd patented that as well ! sanveer and hansel 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To create and export it yes, but not to work with it. Atomos and the others aren't putting Prores in their machines just for Apple users. So on a PC (at least the once I've used) I just import and edit Prores like I would on a Mac. When its time to export I use DNxHD or similar that a PC can create. Unless the project is fine with h.264. PS. To install Prores on to a PC I remember installing and uninstalling Quicktime Player. Might not be needed today. EDIT: wasn't needed when testing it just now. EDIT: Just tested a clip from a BMPCC4K on my Office PC at work. A real piece of HP-junk only used for Words and Excell with Premiere installed just in case. It imported instantly and flowed smoothly. hansel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
